This has been going on for a few weeks now. She has tried changing the location of the cage, or covering it. Nothing helps. Any advice would be appreciated. We tried once to introduce another parakeet into the cage. That didn't work out.

Just got a cockatiel from the pet shop. When we got it home we noticed that it had a sore on it's chest. Is it just an injury from possibly fighting with the other bird at the shop? Or is it something else? What could it be?

This was kinda cool but
some website told me to put on music to calm my pets
well i put on some rock music
the volume was low
but my 2 parakeets started chirping and screeching a lot and that was entertaining.
but then they started flying around wildly
and flapped their wings crazily.
is that a good thing?
are they excited?
They need to be let out of the cage?
or are they mad?

What could I use in my bedroom as a natural deodorizer that will not harm them or cause problems in anyway!

I have 15 birds in my bedroom (6 cockatiels) (2 lovebirds) (3 canaries) (4 budgies). Alot, I know its not healthy because of the dust. I clean thier cages everyday I change the paper and wash out food and water bowls and it still smells! I need a natural deodorizer! You see there is no where else in my house to put them...

My sister has two very healthy, seven year old parakeets in a large cage. Recently, she gave them some wild birdseed because she noticed it was a lot cheaper than a small box of parakeet seed and they took to it right away. However, since then, they have become very noticeably plumper. I couldn't believe it when I saw them. They are loud, bouncy, and happy, and do not act sick in the least, but is this weight gain unhealthy in and of itself? Should she stop the wild birdseed? I've had quite a bit of experience with keets myself, and they do eat a LOT, but don't generally get fat from it. So it's not that they're eating MORE; this has to be an effect from the seed itself. Is this bad? Again, they are acting no different; they just look much plumper.

I used to have lories one died the other flew away so the girl I knew recomended African Grays. I would like to speak to African Gray owners only. What do you feed them, what are there habbits? Do they mature intellectually when they age? I have noticed that the younger one who used to be skittish is now developing a personality that is more personable. I guess you have these for life. I am 48 years old and live in Vegas. Email me if you have questions or something interesting. Thanks

My parakeet is getting older and his molting periods seem to get longer every time and more frequent. This time, his molting has lasted a few weeks. He is pretty sleepy and often has very watery bowel movements. (sorry, don't want to gross anyone out) One would think that he was just sick, but the reason I think he's molting is because he still has those "pins" on his head where feathers will grow in. Do older birds tend to do this? Are their bodies no longer capable of molting efficiently? I'm worried about my little buddy :(.
