In the tapestry of life, few threads are as colorfully woven as those tales where feathered companions cast a spell of transformation upon the human spirit.
Whispered through the annals of time and echoed in countless chronicles, the narrative unfurls—a vibrant testament to the avian alchemists who, with their wings and wits, refurbish the human soul.

Hello, I was hoping to get your insight on what’s going on with our Pineapple Green Cheek Conure named Mango.Â
She’s about 13 years old. About 6-weeks ago, we put in a cage heater for her to sit near and keep warm at night instead of using a space heater in her alcove.Â

I have a quick question our boy conure Kiwi has been staying at the bottom of the cage at night he just won’t go up to one of his higher perches like he used to.
My birds love each other but one (the pineapple) will not come to me or anyone. She takes food from me.
I think she was likely traumatized at the store since she is the same age as my first bird who is easygoing most of the time but was there much longer. I’m hoping time and patience will change it someday.
Let’s start with parrots falling under a definite no.Â
Kea for one. The New Zealand Alpine parrot lives in the snowy mountains and is really smart but extremely destructive.

Susan is seeking advice,Â
My 9-year-old conure is having an issue with his beak.
Two months ago I had his Avian vet trim his top beak as it was very long. Less than a month later his bottom beak got really long. So back to the Vet Jax went. The vet said to give him hard nuts to chew or a cuttlebone.
The first answer to the Quora question:
I don’t know but I would recommend joining one of the many parrot groups on Facebook. I would think he would be eating very often. When my eclectus was 5 months he would eat a meal and then 15 minutes later be hungry again!
Well, that was helpful ~ not.
Facebook groups are the absolute worse place for pet bird information. If the information were ANY good we would not see 60% death by starvation of pet birds in the US.
