Hi Mitch,
I’m a 25-year parrot rescue and parrot care specialist.
In reading your blog about “Should a blind person care for a parrot,”.

Will Vitamin E Help Heal My Birds Foot Sores?
Hi Mitch,
Thank you so much for getting back to me, what you had to say was very helpful.
I do not know how to send pictures from my Chrome book, only know how to send pictures with my phone, I’m not very good with technology.
I did get Alex a rope perch recently, but he won’t go near it as of yet.
I read on the parrot forum that Vitamin E oil is good for pressure sores.
Do you agree?

Janie D.
I have an almost 16-year-old Red Fronted Macaw.

She uses them accurately!
My Green-cheek Conure Seems To Be Molting All The Time
Yes I have another question for you, my green-cheek conure seems to be molting all the time and he’s lost the two big red feathers in the tail and I can feel the feathers under his skin in between his back and wing feathers is this normal or is he short on calcium he will not touch a cuttlebone or any calcium bone to rub down his nails or beak so I have two perches, that are rough, he is a year and a half old, already really molted.
Thank you very much! Jane

Should Blind People Keep Pet Birds?
This might be an interesting topic for a Birdie Brunch!
Hello, I’m Laurie Cannon, who wrote to you about the possibility of adopting an older Green-Winged Macaw.
We didn’t do that, however, we did contact a breeder about a Panama Amazon baby.
She seemed almost horrified when she found out both my husband and I are totally blind.

Will My Young Cockatoo Welcome An Older Macaw
Laurie C asks
My husband and I rescued a 3-month-old medium Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo (aka Eleonora cockatoo) from a horrible pet store situation last August.
We finished his hand-feeding which took another month.
He was very skinny and underfed so we have spoiled him rotten.

Help With An African Grey And A Triton Cockatoo.
I Have An African Grey And A Triton Cockatoo.
I hand fed both and have had the Grey since 1985 and the Cockatoo since 1987.
They are housed separately in AE birdcages and I have perches around the house for them to move to as I work around.
Both are female.
My Gray has begun acting strange.
How Do I Pet My African Grey Parrot Without Getting Bit
It’s a bird, not a dog and doesn’t necessarily want to get pet.
Birds want to be preened.
Re: “Larry’s was more direct”.
He let himself get bitten.
He made a fist to lessen the amount of skin the bird could get in his mouth and just let him bite.
