as an owner I’ve been trying to learn as much as possible the past few years. I’m glad to find there’s a huge amount of advancements in physical health knowledge but I’m curious do organizations/group ever focus on mental health for avian species? I believe it should be just as necessary because of their intelligence. […]

Had Female Alexandrine 4yrs but rescued male Ringneck 2yrs ago. He is very tame she is not as much but has come on in leaps and bounds by watching him. She tolerates him but is very jealous and dominant. Must separate them when not at home. They are free flying.

My Pionus just recovered from a yeast and bacterial infection, and we are now working on her feather destructive behaviour. My question is, how long is too long to have her ‘collar’ on that prevents her from plucking her feathers, as they are finally starting to grow back in. I feel like she needs a […]
