Say that I am smart, stupid, nuts, weird, silly, strange, or anything else that you can think of, even if just to amuse yourself or your bird, but if it is something that has or could have any effect on my birds and their well being, I worry it just like an old toothless dog with a nice meaty ham bone. And I also do that about your bird(s), it is just the way that I am and I am good with it. That's my story and I am sticking to it.

When the room is warm enough you need to mist her.

Air fresheners take smells out of a room by the mist clinging to particle and bringing them to the floor. You cannot use an air freshener near your baby but you can use the same mister that you use on her. Aim the spray to the ceiling using a light mist to cling to particles. It is usually dry before it gets to the floor. Use a vacuum cleaner instead of a broom and duster in that room.


Thanks for the advice :)

Justas I worry about everything that affects my birds, I do the same about yours. I was just trying to say it humorously.

Oh okay, well thankyou, what's a correct light schedule for her because she's very hormonal, regurgitating and walking around bottom of cage, regurgitating on her toys.. On me.. Eww :lol: and then she eats it again, it's like she's not digesting her food properly, should I offer her some seed shells or some grit to aid her digestion??

BabyBird wrote:Wow so it's not like a check up with a dog/cat when they check the animal over and everything.. It's actually pretty expensive because they hide there illness so you have to have a bunch of tests, so whilst a checkup for your ordinary pet is £20-£30 then a checkup for your avian animal is quite expensive as they need to use perticular things like X-rays and fecal samples to check the health..?? Is that correct.


I don't know of any dog or cat check-up that costs only $30 to $45... I pay from $100 to $200, depending on whether the dog or cat is young or old because the older ones need a senior blood panel which is more comprehensive than a regular one.

No, no, parrots don't eat grit - not ever! It can cause crop impaction or intestinal occlusion - and it would not aid her digestion one bit, either.

She is not regurgitating because she has indigestion, she is doing it because she is overly hormonal. Birds need to be kept at the same light schedule as the birds in the trees so they need exposure to the light of dawn and dusk without any interference from artificial lights and dark before and after so the actual schedule changes as the seasons do. Right now, I am turning on the lights at 9 am and off at 3 pm.

Okay so pretty much whenever the sun goes down.. Because she's in a room with Windows and I can close the blinds whenever I need to.

Yes, but the should not be close before dusk or dawn because they need the light then.
