Christina S. asks:
What should I be feeding my cockatiel baby?
Also, do I change it when it gets a bit older?
How Do I Get My Cockatiels to Have Little Birds?
William F. wants to know:
I have a question, is that appropriate?
If yes – I have had 2 cockatiels, m/f, for about 6 months.
They are about 2yrs old and happily paired.
A few months ago I even watched them having sex !!! (a shocker for me … :)) – but ….. no eggs, no little birds.
I do have a nesting box in the big cage, but neither bird has paid it the least attention.
On the green lawn sits on a small pleasure car for kids is a beautiful parrot.
Understanding How My Bird Can End as a Splat on My Car’s Windshield
Jeff Writes:
Mitch, this is for Judy M.
If bird owners would train their birds to the Aviator Harness they can put their bird on a T Perch in their vehicle and the bird does not have to be caged I have an SUV and my blue & gold goes everywhere we go and loves it. (more…)

Can I Help Out Our Cockatiel During a Molt?
Scott S. inquires:
Hi – I actually have a birdie question.
We have a 2-year-old male Gray Cockatiel who has the worst case of “ouwie feathers” under his wings.
We can lift his wings and see a number of pin feathers that are causing some distress.
Question: what if anything can we do to help him out?
He’s fine otherwise, big beautiful boy and a best in class winner here in Florida last year.
Thank you in advance!

In Response to “Do You Serve Your Pet Bird Chop?”
Sherry L. comments:
Yes, my birds are fed ‘chop’ (Arlo the grey, calls it ‘bobbity’) This is a new term for what I have done for 28+ years.
Chop is chopped veg, grains, and sometimes, a tiny bit of seed sprinkled on top or a bit of walnut, or something.
I used to cut the vegetables larger because Arlo was pretty accepting of lots of things, and I didn’t have a food processor.
I also (now) feed Arlo a pelleted diet, along with the chop.
She also gets a small amount of fruit, and sometimes about an inch square of chicken breast (baked) or some steamed scallop (yum).

Should I Get My 30-year-old Parrot a Harness?
Nancy N.writes:
Questions about a harness for My African Grey.
She is 30 and really wants to “go for a walk” whenever I take the dog.
She stands guard by the door and flaps her wings which she does whenever we put jackets on.

Joyce C. writes:
Our cockatiel, who we rescued from our tree outside about 5-6 yrs ago, passed away Thursday.
We have a 4 yr old cockatiel.
She was only 3 months old when we got her.
The question is should we get another cockatiel for a friend for the 4 yr old?
