Good Morning, I am rescuing 2 abused Amazon parrots – Male / Female.
Both have 1 broken wing and cannot fly.
Female about 4-5 years old).
The male (about 15 yrs) picks the top of this wing and has scabs – not healed – what can I do to promote healing?
From my observation, both birds are under extreme stress.
Please let me know what I can apply topically to prevent further picking and plucking.
Pat D. relates,
My GCC has started biting quite a bit.
I want to do light therapy with her.
Can I keep her cage in the living room and cover him at night or should she be moved to another room to sleep?

I have a Red Front macaw from an inheritance and his companion was a cat killed by my fault.
What other macaws would be a good fit for him?

I am messaging about a Green (African) ringneck male I recently bought from a pet shop (who said he is 6 months old ) however he has a clear ring not on the full neck but it’s there.
Anyways the first day he didn’t eat anything, the second day he’s started to eat the mix of seeds.
He’s not hand tamed and not aggressive unless you try to grab him (which is not what I’m am trying to do)
Charles S. relates
My bird is 14 years old. I have had him/her since being a baby!
Every day she regurgitates about a cup full in her cage!
When I leave her with an experienced bird keeper she does not do this!
They indicated that I may be petting her in a way that arouses her and that may be the problem.
She has been doing this for years.
Could it be how I’m feeding her? Usually, I feed her orange slices, 1 cracker, 2 peanuts, and a scoop of Zupreem twice a day.
Plus I give her another couple of peanuts as a treat during the day?
Rachel C. is concerned,
My African grey picks his feathers.
He has free roam of the house with a large perch in the living room.
He doesn’t like water and doesn’t like any toy I get him.
He does like the challenge of taking the lids off old pill bottles to find a treat.
He likes very few people.He definitely does not like little people. He goes outside with me and enjoys climbing around. I put him in the cage
Gabby M. relates
Hi all,
I make a chop of fresh veggies and if I can, fruit, but my guys do not seem to like fruit, since we incorporated it into the diet my Senegal Gabby does not eat any of his seed mix or his pellets or anything but the chop, I have incorporated beans and edamame into it for protein but am afraid he might not be getting enough protein.
I am putting it in twice a day at the evening change of food and in am before I head out so he has more to eat.
I am not sure if he gets enough protein in his diet with only the beans?

Yesterday (Friday 3/20/2020) Catherine answered a call from “Wanda”.
2-1/2 years ago we rescued Keto which was an 800-mile adventure.
Last month we rescued Chili from Crown Pt IN, 6 miles away.
Wanda had been hired to clear an abandoned home.
