So this is kinda strange my parakeets manage to snap the long stick in half and shave it down on a certain spot quite a bit they have a block so they can shave their claws and beaks so I don't know why they snap the stick also I realize in the pictur
It is not uncommon for birds to chew at one particular spot on a perch. It looks like you have a number of wooden dowel perches in the cage - you could try to vary these by providing Manzanita wood perches (they look more like branches) and this may provide them with some areas that they can clean their beaks and wear their nails as well. For your question about the food dishes - it is very common for birds to only utilize materials (including food, water, toys, and perches) that are at the top of their cage. The reason for this is that they typically live in the trees, so they like to be high up the majority of the time. I would advise removing the dishes that are down low, and only providing dishes high in the cage. You can still provide multiple dishes if desired, in case you have some competition for food among the birds in the family. I hope that answers your questions, and thanks for using Boop by Petco!

How can I cure this dry feet on my bird? If She has mites, do I spray it on her feet? Her nail is also very wobbly. Is there something wrong? Btw I feel like She needs to get her beak trimmed because every time she bites, it feels like a bee sting. H
Follow directions for application on the container. Some sprays can be used directly on the bird (avoiding the eyes, nose and mouth), others cannot. Clean and sanitize her cage, bowls, perches and toys. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Change the cage paper or substrate daily. Provide a mineral block, pumice stone or cuttlebone to maintain beak length. Your avian veterinarian can trim the beak if necessary. Concrete or textured perches can also be used as they promote healthy feet as well as provide natural beak trimming opportunity.

Can you please tell me what are good food brands that offers full nutrition and health benefits for lovebirds? Right now I'm feeding him his favourite fruits and vegetables + seeds. I'd like to improve his diet more since he's an senior. What toys wo
Harrison's Bird Diet is the best food out there. It is pelleted so there can be some resistance from your bird transitioning to the new diet if he has been on a seed diet, but it is nutritionally complete and very high quality. Toys I find that lovebirds like have been cotton rope toys that they can preen and groom like the feathers of another bird.

Hello! My budgie Joy was recently flying around the room, and came back to the cage safely. When she was hanging out on the bars, I noticed this! She's clearly putting weight on both feet. Should I be concerned? Thank you!
Keep an eye on her. If she will allow, you can clean it daily with a mild antiseptic cleanser. Provide perches of different shapes, textures and thicknesses to condition her feet. Having only round perches of one size can lead to sores on the feet and overgrown nails.

I'm a little worried about my female parakeet, she's very active and hyper and I feel like she's wasting her energy. All she's eating is seeds and I'm afraid to give her any vegetables or fruits because I'm scared it might effect her pregnancy. Are t
For a complete and balanced diet for your parakeet she needs to eat more than just seeds. I would recommend giving her a high quality pelleted food (like Harrison's or Zupreme) and then supplementing with fresh fruits and veggies. Seeds should be given rarely and only in small amounts. I hope this helps. Thanks for using Boop by Petco. Best of luck.
