Hi. My name is, Chase. Last week I got my first bird, a 5 month old blue budgie named Henry. I have googled mostly what to do until now. I went to my local vet. But they said that they don't know a single thing about birds. And I live in the middle o
Hi Chase! It sounds like Henry is off to a good start with a very caring owner. Bedding changes depend greatly on what you are using, however newspaper/paper towels should be replaced daily, and the cage itself should be wiped down weekly or if you see any build up of fecal matter. Most pet stores will carry bird cage cleaners that help break down stuck-on fecal matter and make it easy to clean. You can also use a weak soap solution as long as you rinse it well after, or even just hot water and a little elbow grease to keep the cage clean if Henry is otherwise healthy and doing well.

Good day. I recent switch my graniverous birds from seeds to pellets sporophila angolensis. Since the switch 3 months ago my birds have really dropped in their singing. To me some even look a little depressed lol. Any advice. I will say though some h
Thanks for reaching out about your finches. It is great that you have switched your birds over to pellets and that you are seeing such great results! For finches, I recommend keeping a bit of seeds in the diet - this amount is approximately 10%. This can help to provide some fat in the diet and this can lead to an increase in singing. You can also add greens or other vegetables into the diet as enrichment and supplemental nutrition. The depression portion is a bit concerning, as this should not be caused by diet unless the birds are not eating enough and are losing weight. If this concern continues after the birds have had a bit of seeds, I would recommend a veterinary visit. I hope this gives you a place to start, and thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Which is better to use as hamster bedding? Paper? Pine? Or cedar? Currently I’m using paper.
Care fresh bedding is what is recommended. It is the safest, healthiest bedding. Controls odors up to two times longer than traditional bedding. Absorbs up to three times its weight in liquid. Made from reclaimed wood pulp waste, not recycled paper. *99% dust-free for easy cleanup *Natural paper small animal bedding *CareFresh pet bedding with 10-day odor control formula *Absorbs 3 times more liquid than wood shavings Hope this helps. Best wishes.

So I just bought my first bird. But I have no idea what to do next. I did buy good bird food without sunflower seeds, millets, culet bone cage, and nutriberries. He's not tamed either so I'm not sure what to do. He doesn't have toys yet and I'm plani
Hello and congratulations on your new friend, King! Parakeets make wonderful pets, and they are a great first bird for a new bird owner. It sounds like you have everything in order, but I'd definitely get King some toys sooner rather than later as parakeets do require mental stimulation - they are very intelligent! Taming will take some time and patience. Using a perch to entice him to step up can be a good place to start, though I recommend waiting a few days to allow him to adjust to his new surroundings first. Yummy treats can be helpful - dried fruits and veggies are a good choice. Here are some good tips on taming your parakeet: http://www.budgiekeet.com/taming.html Good luck, and I hope King adjusts well! :)

I have 2 parakeets and I have been feeding them seeds and millet. I believe that what I am currently feeding them is not nutritious. I am currently training them to eat fruit and vegetables and to be hand tamed. I would like to know what food can I b
Feed a commercial pelleted diet (Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber, Pretty Bird or Exact) supplemented with a small amount of a fortified seed mix, fresh greens and vegetables and cooked foods such as grains, beans and pastas. You can even offer a bit of scrambled eggs, shells included, occasionally.
