How Many species of Parrots are There?
Mitch, it’s always been my understanding that there are between 350 and 380 species of parrots — and parakeets and budgies are included in that since they are also parrots.

Is It Normal for an Indian Ringneck to Feed a Lovebird?
Do you know of anyone who makes cages for disabled birds? I’m looking for something probably made of plexiglass for a Congo. He/she is about 7 weeks old. Has a bad right leg. He is standing on his left & seems like he will perch.
I’m going to be moving him into a plastic bucket that I can make perches for. If he learns to perch, I’ll be looking for a cage. It was an option to have the leg removed.

Button Quails as Pets
Button Quails aka Chinese Painted Quails are an oft-overlooked aviary bird. They are classified as Galliformes which simply states, they’re ground-eating birds (like chickens, turkeys, peacocks, and pheasants). Button quails can fly but most of their time is on the ground and they even enjoy taking dust baths. They use the sand for grit as well which helps with digestion.
The State bird of California is a California Quail, the button Quail is about half the size and does not have had plume. Button Quails come in white, silver, reddish-brown, and even speckled colors.
Hand-feeding Congo African Grey Babies
Hand-feeding Congo African Grey Babies
I have 3 adorable, baby Congo African Greys that I am hand-feeding. They are only 6 weeks old so I am accepting deposits. My babies are top quality, raised with the best of care and come with a 3 week written health guarantee.
Choosing a reputable breeder with whom you trust and feel comfortable with is as important as finding the perfect baby parrot. My knowledge, experience, accessibility and client commitment are what set me apart.
Cockatoo Feeding Problems, Keeps Tossing Food
Arlene comments,
Just hoping this will work to stop my cockatoo from scraping out all of her food out of the bird cage feeder dish. Do you have any suggestions if you think this will work or if you carry anything better?

African Grey, Red Bellied Parrot & Kittens
Hi there.
Just thought I would ask what you thought about this.
I have a 9-year-old Timneh African Grey, named Sparky, and a 12-year-old red-bellied parrot, Val (both DNA-sexed males). I have had them since they were chicks.

Budgies in the Bedroom
Hi…I was just reading some information on your website about where to place a birdcage. We Have a birdcage in our oversized master bedroom, however, I read that bedroom is not a good idea. Why?? We have 6 parakeets in a huge cage and have had them in here for a year or so…
They seem to love it as do I…
thanks – Linda

How to determine the sex of a Love Bird
Love Birds are prolific shredders The females will pack their rump feathers with the shredded paper Males will make confetti
This helps them carry more nesting material back to the nest. In Love Birds, three of the nine species are dimorphic. A species is dimorphic if the cock is visibly different in color from the hen.
The following three love bird species, Madagascar Love Bird, Red-faced Love Bird, and Abyssinian Love Bird, fall into this category.
