[email protected] seeks nutritional counseling for her Senegal parrot,
Hi. I have followed your blog for years and truly appreciate your wisdom. I have a 29-year-old Senegal parrot.Â
She has taken to doing some egg-laying (3 at a time). I do have the light that I purchased from you which hopefully helps turn it on, wondering if I should purchase the calcium/magnesium supplement for her?

Hi. I have a 10-year-old Cockatiel that has been very ill.
I have always offered a variety of food both fresh human food & bird pellets.
When he became ill he just would barely eat anything at all.
