Hello and thank you both, Mitch & Catherine, for your Birdie Brunch each Sunday.
I just lost my beloved Fred (a parakeet) and not sure what happened. I was very close to him, as was my other parakeet, Eddie.

Thank you so much for sending the Beach Walk Pacific Perch so promptly!
My budgie Omar is staring at this “new thing in my cage” but I’m sure he will soon be getting much use from it. It will also help me cut back on nail grooming appointments at the vet.
Dear Leslie
Great that you have it. Placement is important. It should not be used for sleeping at night.
It should be placed in front of the cage, mid-level or lower.
You can also put it by the food dishes. It will get used there a lot.
You want it to be where it will be used often and actively so by the food and water dishes or in the front while he dances on it waiting for you to open the door.
Catherine
I took your advice. I’ve placed the new Pedicure Perch below the door and between Omar’s feed cups.
He’s still glaring at it! By the way, there’s an absence of toys in the cage because my two weren’t interested in them at all and wouldn’t play with them.

Hi,
I give my birdie plenty of bird food options in a few locations. Do I need to dump out everything each day? It seems wasteful because it’s clear there’s plenty of “good” food left. Do I just add more the next day on top?

Our two rescued parakeets, who were found outdoors separately and given to a bird rescue, are not hand tame.
They enjoy being out of their flight cage and investigating in the one room I keep closed for them.
Recently they have eaten molding, on the back of an old mirror, and the other day molding around the glass on my antique china closet.
As a pet bird companion, one of the most important things you should know is how often to feed and water your feathered friend.
Proper nutrition and hydration not only ensure your bird’s health and happiness but also help them to live longer.

The blog post title really says it all.

Kea for one. The New Zealand Alpine parrot lives in the snowy mountains and is really smart but extremely destructive.
