I’M SO CONFUSED!!!
I read your article about extending the daylight of a hormonal bird and if that doesn’t work, setting up artificial light for 72 hours …no vet has ever recommended this and I thought it was brilliant and much better idea then lupron!!! (you’re now my go-to resource -even before a vet..and I will support you guys anyway I can!!) it makes perfect sense.

Hello Mz Tobsing
I appreciate your advice on light therapy as that cured the hormone problem for my little girl parakeet.
Now I have a new problem or question, please.
I have two boys and one girl parakeet each with its own cage.
The little girl has a larger cage than the boys.
All the cages sit on tables.

I have two Quakers, one green one blue Zachary and Felix.
Zach is about 7 and Felix is a sweet 2 yr old.
They are in separate cages because Zachary has gotten very nasty and attacks little Felix.
Zach bites everything and everyone!
Felix loves me and nibbles but not to hurt.
How can I get Zach to stop the biting so I can get them together?

My male parrotlet is 1 year 6 months old and takes big chunks out of my husband. He’ll be watching tv and the bird will fly over and take a chunk out of him. There’s no reason for this.
Having the responsibility of digital marketing for Windy City Parrot I Recently Googled the term “parrot care.”
A keyword phrase we need to rank for much better.
What singularly struck me was a mediocrity of information for the top-ranked links on page 1 of Google’s search results.

Hi Mitch,
I have an African Grey, Puccini and a Blue Fronted Amazon, Hitchcock.
They have been family members for dozens of years but the dander from Pu is starting to get to me.
Lori asks
I received 2 parakeets as a present and everything for them.
I found out one is male and the other is female.
How would I know if the female is pregnant?
Sue asks
I got two Lovebirds.
What kind of Christmas Tree & decorations can I put up?
No tiny lights I’m thinking.
And for house plants, no amaryllis, holly, or poinsettias.

I’ve got a Catalina macaw that has a problem of plucking, I took her to the vet, she has a clean bill of health, now if anyone can help with the feather plucking problem, I would appreciate it, Thanks
From a customer on the West Coast during a phone call this week
“My 14-year-old lovebird began to pluck for no reason at all.
We have him on the best foods we can provide like Harrison’s pellets but we had to put a collar on her to stop the feather loss.
Nothing has changed in her life and she is fully flighted”
It’s important to review egg-laying problems on a regular basis.
The discussion below will focus on single egg-laying instances and prolific egg-laying.
Other aspects of egg-laying encompass egg binding.
This is when the egg doesn’t make it out of the oviduct, the area between the uterus and cloaca on its own.
Another problem is when eggs are laid internally.
