teaching your bird to talk? What did you try and what actually works? Is it worth it - or should I just let the bird be a bird and not worry about her talking?

I have a Sun Conure - she is 5 yrs old.....Is she too old to learn?

I live in central New York and I feed lots of birds. I do know that some birds leave earlier than others but the birds here are a mixture of all kinds and I do not know one kind from another. My question is when do I stop feeding them so they can migrate south?
Thanks

Birds seem to know what seeds taste good, but how can they taste when they swallow the seeds whole?

The company I work for has pet canaries. 2 males and a female. The female was suffering from loss of feathers around her neck and ead. The vet told us that it was because she was in a cage with 2 males and it was stressing her out. So they put her in a separate cage. However she has not got any better after 4 weeks. Someone suggested that it was because she was in a round cage and they don't like that... any suggestions about the loss of feathers or this comment about round cages??

Why buy a wild bird expecting it to tame up? If you want a hand tamed bird BUY ONE but dont buy a wild bird because of pretty it is and expect it to tame up. 99% of the time it will never tame up, leaving you feeling frustrated and feeling helpless. Try and enjoy you bird by BIRD WATCHING. Taking pride in knowing you have the privaledge of careing for such wonderful birds. The less you mess with them the more they will like you and become less afraid of you when you change its food and water. And moving SLOW arounf your birds will help it trust you more too.
