Debbie S. writes: Hi! I got your contact info from a long-time bird-loving friend. I reached out to “Gloria” yesterday as she has lots of birds and bird knowledge and we have 1 bird. We have an Umbrella Crested Cockatoo – since she hatched and is now age 28. She’s very healthy all her life, good diet, exercise, toys, etc.

Hello,

Disagreement with the wife.

After years of using a bottle for Eclectus and Ducorps (cockatoo), my wife has switched to a bowl.

What is healthier, a water bottle or a water bowl?

Maybe you have a discussion or topic link?

Thanks for Birdie Brunch.

Darla S asks:

Can you suggest a few medium-sized parrot species for a 1st-time owner about to turn 60y?

I am interested in moderation (moderate affection, playfulness, independence, friendliness, and noise) ability to talk would be a plus.

I still work full time, and live alone in my own house.

Why is it so important to understand the differences between bird species?

I’m not ashamed to say we get more deliveries from Amazon (like most Americans) then we care to talk about.

This week a new Amazon driver “Patrick” handed off an envelope then said “I’ve never been here before – this place looks cool.”

Are ionized air purifiers safe for my lovebird?

Absolutely not! (MitchR)

Green Witch asks

Hi Mitch

I’ve been enjoying your emails for some time now.

I have an umbrella and a citron cockatoo.

We’ve been searching for two manzanita branches and just haven’t found the perfect ones yet.

Would you be able to direct me in the right direction to find a good and safe branch for them?
