Having a pet bird that hops onto your finger is great. But think ahead: it’s even better if your bird will also step onto a stick or perch.
Not all pet sitters will be okay touching your bird, so having a no-touch way to move your feathered pal is smart.
Thomas F. is concerned with breeding his birds.
I have been breeding budgies, linnies (lineolated parakeets), and scarlet-chested parakeets for many years. They have a very good diet and can go outside in the summer.

First of all, I love reading your replies to members. I have a 32 year old goffin and I see a change in him since my husband passed away 3 months ago. He has always been my bird and seemed aggressive toward my husband most of the time. That is why I am stumped why he seemed to have changed.

Hi. Finally my daughter used the light you directed and our radaR has stopped the hormonal stuff.
Jean relates,
I used to breed African greys, macaws, grey cheeks 30 years ago. I kept 2 of my African greys (unrelated) and are now 42 years old & totally healthy.
Are there any special things to do to help my parrot? He is 48 and has developed cataracts.
I am keeping him in the same cage and not changing things around but he seems to fall off his perch more than usual. Suggestions?

Recently she took a chunk out of her beak.
