Joanne F. wonders aloud,

Been reading your blog about the effects of Lupron on female birds for egg-laying.

My vet is suggesting these injections for my male white face cockatiel, “Pico”.

Pico is literally like Jekyll and Hyde.

Very loving but can turn on you in a nanosecond.

He is so highly hormonal that almost anything is perceived as a potential mate.

Feet, sneakers, plastic Kind bar wrappers……the list is expanding.

Brian M. is concerned,

I have a peach-faced lovebird that seems to have an issue with his beak.

His beak has never been trimmed and he has a stone that he rubs his beak on to grind it down. Recently the top part broke and it is smaller now but the lower part of the beak looks like it needs to be trimmed.

I read where some people trim them but I made an appointment with the vet.

I am nervous about taking the bird there he has never been taken anywhere.

I am afraid he can’t eat everything with the lower long beak.

Hi Mitch,

I just noticed that you posted my questions about Ricky on your Blog.

Here’s the original post

I’m fine with that but feel a bit uncomfortable about naming my bird’s vet and giving her web address.

I came to you with my query as I am not seeing improvement in my bird after several appointments.

Your advice has been read and will be re-read.

Subject: Re: Hi June ~ How to Remodel Cages to Reduce 2 Bird’s Hormonal Behavior

Hi Mitch,

Do birds get coronavirus? I had it about a month ago.

My two parakeets have become so quiet and sleep alot.

I changed where I keep them thinking a change would help.

Some but not much.

Can they know I haven’t been very well?

Thank God I have recovered any thoughts?

Hi Mitch,

My name is Barbara T, and you and I just spoke re my parakeet, Ricky, who has been treated by an Avian specialist, Gloria Goodman, VMD (website: avianexoticvetpa.com), for mites since July 2nd, 2020.

As I told you, I had surgery and my sister took care of the bird from May 12th through June 28th.

I noticed immediately that his face looked like it had rot on it and he seemed “antsy”—pecking on his feathers and rubbing his head, especially around the eye area, on the cage.

I called the vet and she saw him on July 2nd.

Suzanne H. is concerned about a Splayed leg 1-month-old parakeet.

My parakeets had 4 chicks. 3 are fine.

The youngest turned out to be a splayed leg.

Went to the vet with the baby.

He said there is just a 10% chance the baby could be fixed to be almost normal.

It didn’t work.

Can Lighting Benefit My Blue Crown Conure With Cataracts?

Can Lighting Benefit My Blue Crown Conure With Cataracts?

Janet D. relates:

My blue-crown conure (named BLUE) is one of 2 rescue conures I’ve now had 5 years.

He has cataracts in both eyes. I know this because I could tell his vision was changing and took him to the vet 3 months ago.

Very recently, he’s more hesitant with everything so I think his vision is deteriorating more quickly than anticipated.

Why is my Blue Fronted Amazon Holding His Head So Low?

I received this reply from a pet bird keeper in our Windy City Parrot community.

I wanted to reply to the person whose bird stood with its head lowered.

My Yellow Nape did that and I found out he had arthritis in his one leg.

Bonnie B. would like to know:

First I want to thank you for your very informative emails.

They are always filled with great information.

My question is what are your thoughts on Lupron and what effects of long term use.

I have a 30 yo female Umbrella Cockatoo that we’ve had for 11 years.

She laid an egg once or twice a year and then in 2015 after laying an egg she prolapsed on a Sunday.

Luckily we were able to get her into UC Davis.
