This is great! Also maybe some personal experience with each species. But I'd also love to hear about species they haven't worked with but may know about (like Senegals)

2023-05-14 17:48:42 +0000 UTCTips and things to look out for/ keep in mind when getting a bird from a breeder, or when adopting a bird from a rescue would be great! And maybe an episode on each species of parrot - why they do or don't make good pets, "personality" traits of species (like do they speak more clearly or do they tend to learn more vocabulary etc), notable animals of that species (like Alex the African grey) etc. I feel like it's be a fun an engaging way for listeners to get more info about a species they may be interested in adopting!

2023-05-11 00:55:25 +0000 UTCI have a young bird (6mo old) and since I got her (2mo ago) I've been wondering about the difference between exploratory biting vs. aggressive biting. I know she uses her beak to explore everything and she's never struck out and bitten me for example when asking for step up, but sometimes her bites hurt, and can exploratory biting become aggressive?

2023-05-10 08:58:25 +0000 UTCI’ve presented it a list of clear questions and statements and got interesting results in minutes of conversation. all the time I spent into looking for accurate information on the internet over the past 3 years and than crossing it with more resources was condensed into 15 minutes of discussion (I am exaggerating but it was precisely it), I was pleasantly surprised impressed.

2023-05-10 08:55:10 +0000 UTCHow to help a clipped bird to fly . I’m getting a baby CAG and the bird store owner refuses to not do a “light clip “ after fledging . I wrote a two page letter explaining why it’s so important to not clip, even a light clip . I offered to pay extra , to sign a wavier of liability release, praying he changes his mind. Not thinking he will . My poor baby will be clipped and what can I do to help him to keep his confidence and keep him safe while he’s clipped and what exercises can I do to help him to fly again.

2023-05-09 19:52:02 +0000 UTCHow to help your birds be confident when left alone. Every bird I have had has retreated to their favorite high perch when left alone. They don't eat, much less play. One wouldn't even drink water.

Holden Kendrick
2023-05-09 19:43:57 +0000 UTCTell us more about your birds — like, three questions: what is their favorite food(s)/treat; what is their favorite toy or activity (or what do they spend the most time doing, other than sleeping?); what human type job would they be the best at? I sense that Berry would be a good journalist: always flying around, checking what everyone is doing, taste testing all the things, monitoring video calls, being a little pushy but only as needed…

2023-05-09 10:03:40 +0000 UTCI would even include bird patios in this one, many people don’t have the space for an outdoor aviary but they do have an extra window or a balcony

Guy Goldstein K
2023-05-09 09:55:19 +0000 UTCParrot Hygiene and habitat cleaning. important topic, lots of myths (people are towel drying their birds because they’re afraid of chills, and even buying expensive air drier equipment, too many extra steps for something that often needs a lot of desense work) , please do!
Guy Goldstein K
2023-05-09 09:54:07 +0000 UTCMaybe one about having/building outdoor aviaries, what to do and what to avoid.
