Any suggestions for using pure aloe juice in making own aloe water spray for feather health? Sadly, can't afford US price/shipping and hoping for reasonable DIY alternative recipe suggestions. Also, having ongoing trouble getting my budgie boy sunlight. My carrier doesn't let in nearly enough direct light to be worth much outside. Regularly moving rules out aviaries/fancy outdoor setups and, with inaccessibility getting a cage in/out the door (also roaming cats), I've been stumped. Will I need UV lighting for the present, and if yes, how to know what is worth getting? Or any other ideas? My gorgeous boy deserves better health. Appreciate you guys' work; it makes a difference!

2025-04-20 15:17:46 +0000 UTCI put a ton of healthy veggies together and spend about 8 hours cleaning, blending, cooking if needed, chopping, and mixing different chop variations together for my Quakers and then freeze a few days worth for a few months supply. When I serve the chop I “reheat, not cook” the chop in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds and serve the chop warm. Just joining in on Patreon (I just bought your full series also but haven’t started it yet) so I figured maybe I could ask here to get a faster answer. Should I be warming it? I feel as though I’m watching more and more between you and your other partners and maybe I should be serving it straight from the fridge. My female Quaker is hormonal and always has been and I do all that I can and pay attention closely to stop the hormonal responses but I feel as though maybe this could be the issue? Please let me know your best advice. ❄️🤷🏻♀️🔥

I have a 10month old galah who loves to train, he get chop/pellets, I weigh him every morning, sleeps 12h/night. He has an open cage and is very active, flying around the house, climbing on ropes etc. He loves all nuts, but I only give about one almond/day, is it ok to give more? I will be starting to training free flight in the summer (live in Sweden)

2025-04-12 04:50:27 +0000 UTCI’m currently fostering a blue fronted Amazon named Jeff. He was fine until just recently. I have a feeling it’s hormone related. But one day he tries to dive bomb me and the next he is a perfect angel. Do you have any tips? I’ve had birds my whole life and the bird I was the most used to was an umbrella cockatoo, so I’m used to crazy😂 I have 5 birds currently including Jeff. Another question I have is, how to help your macaw gain muscle so she can hopefully work on flight training one day. Thanks!
