Children are loud, messy, and time-consuming, but every family has 2.6 of them (Pew Research).
I probably spend less time cleaning up after my eight birds in three birdcages than most moms cleaning up after 2 six-year-olds
or a single toddler
To say that all birds are time-consuming is an unsupported blanket statement.
We have a Senegal parrot and an African ringneck.
Neither is very noisy.

I’m a new Grey owner… Scarlet came to us on Nov. 24th after spending her first 12 years with one owner, and his wife. She was very bonded to him.
I’m searching for some good bonding tools and would like your advice on some things that I should probably have for her cage and for when she is out, both to play with on her own and interactively with me to aid in our bonding.
My husband and I have two 14-year-old African grey parrots.
We bought them from a pet store that sold only parrots when they were chicks.
They seem very healthy – have good appetites, play, scream, etc.
However, one of the birds has been losing her feathers and it is getting worse.
Hi, I’m a long-time customer and newsletter subscriber.
I currently have 6 birds which include 2 special needs parakeets that we adopted, 1 fancy parakeet, with green and yellow coloration, and is the most normal and closest to their original color before mutations.
2 green check conures, and last but not least, the bird I have a question about, my yellow color mutation parrotlet.
Hi I’m looking for a dietary regimen for an Amazon Blue Front parrot.
He is used to a seed diet and I’m looking to provide him with a healthier diet.
Do you have any recommendations?
Also, I need a healthy diet for a sun conure. A dietary regimen for parakeets and also for finches of various varieties.
I’m looking to save money considering I have 27 different birds.
