There is seriously so many articles/videos on this that I can't link them all.I am sure you mean to help. I am also sure that there are many solutions to one problem. But I mean to help too.

This is what I could find.
Ok, we can agree to disagree. If that is what you believe, fine. But also keep in mind just because it worked with your bird, doesn't mean it will work with others.
