This has become a helluva slippery slope.
0 to 10 budgies in 25 months.
They are in this big beautiful Prevue F050 aviary.
They’ve created their own micro-culture.
Is this a proper budgie cage set up?
First of all you do not indicate the bird’s lifestyle.
Will this be a solitary bird who spends a lot of time in the cage or will the bird be out of the cage a lot and basically used for sleeping?
Why Is My Cockatiel Pulling Feathers From Under His Wings
From: JANNINE P
Dear Mitch
I wanted to ask for your advice.
My male cockatiel is pulling his feathers out from under his wings.
Good morning, I get your newsletter every Sunday.
We have an elenora cockatoo (aka medium sulfur crested) that we have had for 21 years.
We got her when she was 4 months old.
Within the last two years she has started to yell.
Within the last year it has gotten real bad.

About three weeks ago I got a baby parakeet, I was told the bird was 10 weeks old.
The bird had black on its beak, and the cere was still purple in color.Â
Think of a bunch of garden hoses banded together arbitrarily shooting water out one or the other.
As opposed to a “firehose” of information.
Now you know what fielding questions about captive bird care looks like to us.
We don’t know where it’s going to come from – Disqus, our blog, one of three ways you can contact us directly on the website or email.
Just organizing the questions is a task in-and-of-itself.
The following was part of an answer to the following Quora question.
“What would be a bird’s reaction if we tied a helium balloon to their legs (that would make them float)? What about a bat? How would they adapt? QUESTION DETAILS IN COMMENTS”
At some point in the very short response I saw these words
“Someday, I’ll tell you about the time I duct taped his feet to the kitchen floor to prevent him from chasing mine”.
One of the challenges of keeping nine budgies in a single aviary is identification.
So here are some notes that we made to help even ourselves keep everyone straight.
