I have 2 budgies and 2 zebra finches that I love, but I feel like it is unfair for them to be in a cage all day. I need some advise on what I should do
Without knowing the size of the cage, it is hard to give advice. If they have a large flight cage where they can easily move around and exercise, then that may be enough. Adding in some fun toys to explore, moving dishes and toys around or rotating them out, offering treats to chew on, etc can all help increase enrichment and make things more fun for your birds. If they're kept in very small cages, then looking for a playpen that can fit in the room or on top of the cage may be nice for your birds to climb on or play on. However, finches tend to explore more and may want to fly around, so it is best to make sure they are only let loose in rooms where they can easily be caught again and cannot fly into windows, doors, or other dangerous objects that can cause injury or death.

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.

Hi I have a question I would like to ask I am wanting to get a bird that would be in a nice home i have 2 dogs and 2 cats but one my cats hardly comes up stairs and the bird would be in my room where none the animals go so the bird would be safe and
Yes, it sounds like you would provide a safe and loving home for a bird. I like your plan to keep it separate to reduce stress on the bird. Gradually introducing it to the other animals would be good once it’s very relaxed and settled in. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you get answers to your veterinary questions.
