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.

Karen C. asks,

Have you ever experienced dealing with a bird that has developed what they are calling “bumblefoot”?

I have a parakeet that has a sore spot on the bottom of one of its feet.

When I looked it up on the internet it didn’t seem like much could be done and this little guy isn’t finger trained.

He was a rescue along with 3 other birds.

It’s quite a feat to catch him at all and I don’t want to stress him out anymore than the poor thing already is.

My darling birdlings, parakeets, happen to both be female.

One, MoonShadow, is approx 7 years old…a rescue.

When her partner passed last year, after the funeral, MoonBirdy was sooo lonely, depressed, inactive.

We, in mid pandemic, bought a pet shop friend for her. Of course, the pet shop attendant assured my husband Mercury was Male.

Hey folks: Our 4-year-old (almost) male gray Cockatiel Buddy has a dander problem?

We can get him to bathe outdoors when he’s out in the lanai and it happens to be raining which is a fairly common occurrence here in west-central Florida but the problem (?) is that we can’t get him wet to the skin. Buddy will shake off after a bath and a cloud of dander will “poof” off him.

I’ve read that birds, in general, need to get wet to the skin to remain healthy. Any thoughts?

Kristy L. asks,

How can I help my budgie stop laying eggs?

We have allowed her to have two clutches and I can’t have any more babies.

Our vet wanted a depo shot which we did once with the vet’s advice and I don’t like what it did to her personality.

It’s been three months and now she has laid 2 eggs.
