Hi Dave, Heather et al:
I am a parrot breeder for over 15 years now and just pass along things
that have worked for me and breeders I work with.  Although I am a
member of the Avian Veterinarian association I am not a certified

Okay, put your eyeballs back in your head.  You are not seeing things.  I am
actually starting a legitimate discussion.
Considering how long it's been since wild caught birds have been imported in
mass quantities and that most birds do die before their time, wild caught

yesterday Charlie (B&G) seemed to just realize other birds talk. Him and Max
(BCC) never have liked each other, but often when I have Max on my shoulder
I will stop and play with Charlie. yesterday as I was going by his new stand
which has him at eye level I stopped to talk, and Max ...

Hello To Everyone.
My 1 year old Gloster consort male canary started acting strange this
afternoon. He is sitting on the bottom of the cage, puffed up and droopy
winged. His droppings do not appear any different.

My brother has a parakeet which was a gift from his now ex-wife.  I went
with her to help select the bird.  Lexus (the bird) is about 13 years old.
My brother took him to the vet today (first time ever) because Lexus is
slowing down, not playing much anymore.  And he's been having a ...

i'm going to get a pair of zebra finches. i already have a fairly large cage
for them. the cage came with containers for food and water.
now, the containers seem quite deep for such small birds. i'm worried that
if the water gets too deep, the birds might drown. if i don't fill ...

We have made mistakes with this poor bird.  (S)he* is a terrible biter.
As I was unable to tolerate being bitten, I tended to leave her* in the
cage, but in the room with us.
Is there any way to work with a bird and NOT get bitten?  Has anyone

My husband and I are considering getting a dog.  The breed that seems
best suited to our lifestyle is a standard poodle.  My biggest concern
and priority is that our parrots are safe.  I realize that this is
mostly a training thing, but I also know that there are many dog

I had put two male Zebra Finches in a large cage with my two females.  I
thought nothing was happening, then this morning there is a live tiny baby
bird laying on the bottom of the cage.  I picked it up and put it back in
the nest, but they are all ignoring it.  Did they push it out ...

A friend has had a half-moon conure for 15 years, and recently it
has produced two eggs, for the first time in all those years. Is this
unusual? They took in an abandoned cockatiel about a year ago, which
is in another cage near the conure -- could this have somehow prompted

Someone posted a recipe a while back. I have a dumb question - the corn meal
that you use for this, should it be plain or self rising?
(told you it was a dumb question)  THANKS! Debbie

Several years ago I was on this newsgroup when I first got my birds.  It was
very helpful and fun.  I am pleased to see that some the names here have not
changed!
This is my situation and my question.

Thanks to everyone who responded to this query in mid-February.   Daisy, the
cockatiel, is still sickly and we have decided (along with the opinion of
the vet and books we are reading) that the infection is aspergillus.   She
coughs and wheezes throughout the day and we are at our ...
