Are Lemons Good for Parrots?
Kathleen R. asks:
Do you like lemons?
Dear Kathleen ~Â Do we like lemons?
Â
Well, yes, they smell nice, are very useful to flavor foods, and make a nice beverage.
Are you asking if lemons are okay for parrots?
They won’t hurt them, but why would you give them to parrots?

Can You Recommend a Shallow Parakeet Bowl ?
Mary H. needs advice:
Can you recommend a shallow parakeet feeder bowl?
The one I have is 2 1/4 ” deep and the birds have to lean all the way in to eat.
Also, I can’t tell when the food is gone and just hulls left.
I tried an ‘auto feeder’ but the seed doesn’t feed down properly.
Thank you very much

What is a Good Green Cheek Conure Supplement?

I have a green cheek conure named Jax.

How Do I Stop My African Grey from Tossing Her Pellets?
Susan W. writes:
We have a 20-year old African Grey who has been with us since weaning.
She has been on Harrisons’ pellets for years.
The problem with feeding her Harrisons’ is that she throws them out of her bowl and on the floor outside her cage, so I am not sure how many pellets she actually eats. (more…)

Can I Help Out Our Cockatiel During a Molt?
Scott S. inquires:
Hi – I actually have a birdie question.
We have a 2-year-old male Gray Cockatiel who has the worst case of “ouwie feathers” under his wings.
We can lift his wings and see a number of pin feathers that are causing some distress.
Question: what if anything can we do to help him out?
He’s fine otherwise, big beautiful boy and a best in class winner here in Florida last year.
Thank you in advance!

What Is Chop for Pet Birds?
Kathy S. asks:
What is Chop?
Hi Kathy,
Chop is a term used for the result of mixing together random or a stated recipe for a vegetable-based diet for birds.
It can contain anything from spinach, kale, beans, grains, vegetables and/or fruits.
We feel too much emphasis is placed on giving the birds this mixture.
