Hello, I Have a Very Hormonal Male Sun Conure!
Christina writes
Hello! I have a very hormonal male sun conure around ~10 years old. When he is out of his cage with me, all he wants to do is regurgitate anywhere and everywhere and go in my clothes.
Even in his cage, he regurgitates on things and humps some of his toys. I’m just not sure what kind of setup I can provide for him that will calm him down and let him play and have interests other than mating. 🙁
Do you have tips? Most tips seem to be for female birds, I’ve never had such a hormonal male though!

What Kind of Bird Should I Get at 60?
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.

How Do I Help My Rescue Budgie with Splayed Leg?
From Donna E.
question: I have recently been given a parakeet with a splayed leg.
He eats and flys but he’s not very active and basically just sits in one place for long periods of time, especially if another keet doesn’t land next to him to get him moving.

Can I Train Two 1 Year Old Budgies to Fly?
Carol Wrote:
Mitch: I read on line something you wrote about the possibility of training adult budgies.
I have inherited two budgies – about 1-year-old.
They are in a cage and have never been trained.
They seem very happy with each other.
They are very active and chatty.

Is Zupreem a Good Bird Food Brand for a Green Cheek Conure?
Kimberly asks
Is Zupreem a good brand for a GCC?
What brands of pellets do you recommend?
Dear Kimberly
Zupreem is a very popular bird food pellet. It is a commonly found variety found almost everywhere. It is puffed and contains sweeteners which cause the birds to take to it easier than many other pellets.

Can anyone tell me why my cockatiel won’t eat sunflower seeds when it is in the food?
There is always a lot of waste. (more…)

How Did Another Rescue Bird Find Us?
We just rescued another bird and I drove 794 miles less than I did for the last one.
Of our bird-related calls, most are people seeking to acquire a “new bird”.
We will always refer them to the closest bird rescue in their area.
Yesterday (2/11/20) we got a call from a woman in Cedar Lake about 6 miles from our new place in Lowell.
