    Can I leave my Green Cheek outside?

    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.

    Homemade Chicken Wire Cage?

    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...

    Again about non-stick cookware!?!?!

    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...
