Billy (Severe Macaw) finally molted the first flight feather on each wing.
That's one year and seven months since his last wing trim which means it was
even older than that.
I think it's interesting that the same feather on both wings molt at the

I have male and female parrot in same cage. They not produce baby bird
or nest build. I do not think they are making sex. Just sit and groom
other bird body but no more.
How I can making them reproduce?

Hi all.  I'm considering getting a canary someday and I've been
looking at cages.  I spotted one on craigslist.com and wondered what
your opinions are of it (see link below).  It's 2 feet wide so a
canary would have enough room to fly back and forth, right?  I think I

I'm on the verge of purchasing one of these Poicephs.  Both birds have
been handfed and are being sold at the same price ($800).  The Senegal
was born in February, seems a bit shy but takes fruit from my hand, does
not bite, seems to be mild-mannered.  The Red Belly is still ...

Hi,  Does anyone know of any cockatiel breeders in South Florida?

I'm looking for a bit of advice on how to get my cockatiel to stop
biting the kids.  He's the first bird our family has had, so we're still
learning, but we did as much research on caring for him as we could
before we bought him, and i think we were reasonably well prepared.

We're moving from California to Massachusetts with our four birds
(Bourke's parakeet, lovebird, green-cheeked conure, African gray). The
airlines only allow two pets per flight, so we have arranged for two
friends to fly out separately with half of our flock.

I'm still looking at the Friedrich you recommended and am giving serious
thought to returning the Austin and getting that one.  Just seems to be much
more economical, not having to replace a very expensive filter every two or
less years.

It's been a long time since I posted in here but in reading all the
great tips and advice I need to ask your opinion. I just purchased an
outdoor aviary for my 4 birds, 1 Cockatoo, 1 Conure, and 2 African
Grays. I've seen so many people who have all their different species

Well, the group has been less than active lately, but I figured I'd send a
real 'on-topic' post (what a novelty these days!) anyway in the hopes that
someone can address my question from their own experience.
I just got an Austin Healthmate 400 HEPA filter (not the junior model) ...
