Re: Parrot nail clipping

Re: Foot trouble
Wider cages are way better than tall ones, due to their flight patterns etc. You always want wide over tall (although if you opt for wide, you should still elevate a cage if it doesn't come with a...

Re: Help -Rehoming?
It does sound like these behaviors could be minimized (in comparison to where they are right now) with the proper patience, enrichment and behavioral training, but they definitely are a ton of work...

Re: Buying one ekkie... should I get another?
I would stick with one (personally)..at least until your baby is grown up. If you bring a new bird home, you should always quarantine it for 45 days unless it was already sharing a cage with your...

Re: Bloody conure scare
It depends on the feather location etc--- I have had 1 of Noodles' pulled at the vet and the rest (smaller ones) were left alone.

Re: Mixed species in one cage?
