What Challenges Does Your Bird Face This Spring And Summer?
Linda F asks,
Hi, As spring approaches we look to protect furry as well as feathered friends. Any suggestions on Frontline and heart guard type products that are safe around parrots and toos (Cockatoos) when used on three little dogs?
Are the two above mentioned harmful when used on a dog that lives in the same house as a bird?
Thank you for all help I have received as my CAG (Congo African Grey, goffie (Goffin Cockatoo) learn to share our life together.
Would not have made it as smoothly this far without your good advice and Birdy Brunch. Thank you again. Linda,

Indian Ringneck Love Brings Ringneck Problems
Indian ringnecks are marvelous birds and I’ve had the great fortune to live with the species in two different households.
They’re not big birds they weigh an average of 115 g about the body size of a Senegal or a fat cockatiel but the long tail gives the impression that it’s a much larger bird.
The overall length of the bird must be taken into consideration when choosing the right birdcage and especially the travel carrier.
They can be quite tame and are a relatively good talker.
Below you will find three curated questions about Indian ringnecks that found us one way or another and we felt sharing solutions would be helpful.

Eclectus toe tapping and wing flipping issues
Image above – Female Eclectus r. vosmaeri at North Carolina Zoo, no other subspecies combines a purple abdomen and clear yellow undertail coverts.
Hi Mitch,
I just read your piece on eclectus, and I have a question.
If the elongated digestive tract is urban myth, then why does my bird develop the eclectus toe-tapping and wing-flipping if he has been given regular pellets and/or too many vitamins?
What would cause this?
Thanks,
Barbara
Let’s start with the toe tapping wings flapping things.

Eclectus Parrot Elongated Digestive Tract – Fact Or Fiction?
Here’s an earlier eclectus parrot feeding question from our database:
I’ve read different articles on how much fruit to give my ekkies.
Some say it is ok to give them as much as they eat and others say the veggies should be their top priority.
I do try to give them an equal amount but it seems they have gotten picky about their vegetables lately.
I have been giving them different varieties and mixing up how I serve them – warm, cool, different spices on them but they still prefer the fruit.

What Is a Good Summary About How It Is to Own Parrots (Macaws Specifically)?
I don’t know that there’s enough storage space on the Quora servers to answer this.
I read that parrots are loud, noisy, and messy – a lot.
Then again so are children.
Let’s start with a top-level explanation.
Pet people in the disciple category will always react negatively towards the word own preferring instead to call it pet bird companionship.
In reality, birds are the most owned pets we can have.
We have to lock them up in a bird jail.
