danger

I was away on vacation and allowed my parents to take care of my two birds, they’re small lineolated parakeets, but I found out while I was away they COMPLETELY sprayed down the WHOLE cage and every toy inside. I don’t know which day they cleaned it, I was only gone for 3 days, the birds look...

Okay question! I am a full-time student and often leave the house for 4-6 hours at a time. My green cheek conure has a full indoor enclosure and is never caged when I’m home. However, I hate to leave her inside when I’m away. So I have a cockatiel sized cage that I place right outside the front...

Hi again, friends! Two posts in such a short amount of time may seem a bit crazy, I know, but I'm prepping to bring a new baby GCC home in about four weeks and I want to make sure I've cleansed my home of anything super toxic or dangerous. We'll be living in a two-bedroom apartment for the...

My budgie flew into warm oil while he was outside the cage, I washed her and dried her but I'm not sure if she will survive. Any help?:(

So I made a very large bird cage for my conure using chicken wire and untreated wood. There are some areas on the inside where the cut edges are stapled. Would this be safe for my conure? Or what could I use to attach and cover the cut ends of the wire? Would I need to cover the staples and cut...

Hello again, We rescued our lovely GCC Parry from Petsmart a month ago, and he is a most adorable creature ever. But I just found out that non-stick cookware is bad for birds. I'm in chock! I went to kitchen and checked our cookware, and almost all of it except one large steel pot has that black...
