Monica L. is disquieted about a rent adoption
I just adopted a little white female IRN that is a picker. I’m not concerned about that. I work with my vet to keep her healthy. But how do I get her to trust me?
It’s difficult to be objective and maintain clarity with those that you care for including your pets.
One of the first things a new pet bird keeper realizes early on is that
BIRDS ARE MESSY
Gordon T. relates about his success controlling ants with isopropyl alcohol
Our Senegal parrot, Frisbee, spends warm weather days on our screened-in porch, where he has a stainless steel cage.
Ants are a serious problem.
We were able to control them by placing the cage rollers in shallow water containers, but Frisbee started drinking the water.
On the theory that ants swarming on bits of his treats were following scent trails laid down by “scout” ants, I started wiping the bottoms of the legs of his cage with 90% isopropyl alcohol first thing every morning.
The alcohol evaporates almost immediately, and it is still 30 minutes or so before Frisbee goes out.
Lisa H. wants to know,
Did I buy the right size play stand for my parakeet?
Hello. I probably should have asked you this Before I bought the play stand, but I was excited to receive it.
So now, before I open it, I would love to hear your opinion if I did right.
Hi! I very much enjoy your emails and all the information you provide. By the way, my green conure (Wyndle) looks just like the bird you have in the picture with you, Mitch.
Wyndle is a “mutt”, not a pedigree like my Sun Conure was. She has a HUGE personality and is full of spunk; very strong, inquisitive, eats all day (not overweight, tho), etc.

Donna L. is concerned,
Hello!
I have heard about rope perches and all of the “pros” make sense except one con, their nails getting caught in the threads.
I don’t have Henny’s, my beautiful 21-year-old Meyers, nails clipped because she falls off of me or various other things.
She is free flight in the house, unless I am doing anything that could hurt her, or when I need my time.
i have some drift wood that my grandkids collected from a creek way out in country wanting make bird perches to put in bird cages. what do i have to do to wood or is this safe.
i soaked in tub for 2 days putting new water on 2-3 times a day. can i use or should i throw away do not know what kind of wood
