When I took in a rescued Moluccan cockatoo he had 3 large sores and no feathers on his chest.Â

I want to thank you for your advice on birdie exercise. Â
My ringneck was getting pretty noisy. He has a full spectrum lamp, lots of toys, and his own room.Â
He’s new to our family. I’m afraid to try to put him back in the cage, he may have unwanted reactions. The place is safe for him and closed, and he’s still in his cage now.

Why are you making the assumption that your new parrot who came from a caged environment would have a problem with living in a caged environment in your home?
I want my bird to have as happy and healthy a life as possible, so I'm always on the lookout for new ways to improve her environment. One Easy Fix is…
