Hello, love your website have a parakeet female about 5 years old with a cyst on the left wing.
Our avian vet was not too helpful only said it could be a feather cyst after I suggested it.
She does not seem uncomfortable but the cyst is getting bigger mostly pink with whatever color of feather appears any suggestions?
Lisa H. wants to know,
Did I buy the right size play stand for my parakeet?
Hello. I probably should have asked you this Before I bought the play stand, but I was excited to receive it.
So now, before I open it, I would love to hear your opinion if I did right.
Gabriella M. expresses these thoughts,
I’ve always had parakeets or budgies growing up.
I’ve always had one male and we always bonded.
I taught them to speak they all knew many many words they were adorable so I’m in the market for another budgie or parakeet but could you tell me the difference?
Karen C. asks,
I know you’re supposed to house your pet in the largest cage you can afford.
At least that’s what I’ve read in past issues of Bird Talk.
Anyway, I’ve done my share of parakeet rescues and as of now, I’m down to 2 birds.
They’re housed in an older Prevue cage #F099 which I purchased when a pet shop by us was going out of business and was selling out their stock.
I look forward to getting your email every Sunday and reading it has become as much a ritual as the old Sunday paper.
And now I have a question for you.
Thunder and Lightning are my bonded parakeets.
I’ve had them for years.
Last summer I saw more and more breeding activity, so I bought a box and let nature take its course.
Thunder laid four eggs, one of which was fertilized.
Monica D. asks,
I have a question.
I have a parakeet and I know that certain smells and chemicals can affect them.
I was wondering if the smell of brewing coffee would affect my bird in any way?
Marylinda J. would like to know,
I have appreciated your products and your information for many years.
I recently became licensed in the State of Texas to produce animal feed.
In particular, dehydrated restaurant-quality chicken feet and paws for pets.

He eats fresh corn not crazy about dried.

Kim W. wants to know
Can I Put A Baby Budgie In With My Cockatiel?
Dear Kim
One-word answer. NO!
We recently were given a baby parakeet from a customer who found it outside her apartment building.
She could not keep it as she has an ailing bird currently and didn’t want to take a risk.
