Is a bird feeder detrimental to the health of wild birds?
Hello. No, I do not think so. The biggest concern about birdfeeders is how they attract predators including sparrow hawks & cats. Some folks claim we are turning wild birds into seed junkies & this is very bad for their livers ( I am always telling my clients to get their caged budgies & cockatiels off of an all seed diet ). But most wild birds do supplement their diets & do migrate after fueling up on the energy filling seeds. Bad seed ( moldy ) can kill birds with aflatoxin. And the spilled seed can attract vermin which can carry disease. Some folks recommend only feeding during the cold weather to help migratory birds & to only buy the best & freshest seed you can. Cost matters, so stay away from the crappy dollar store bags of bird seed. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My 2 love birds seem to be bored and unhappy quite a bit, i think that they may need some toys to cheer them up? what would you prefer i do and what kind of toys would be best for them?
Some toys or changes to the environment are definitely a great way to help reduce boredom. You can look for toys that are soft or fuzzy to encourage preening and chewing behavior, or toys that can move around such as swings or bendy ladders for exercise. Treats that have to be pecked at are also great enrichment. Just be sure to choose toys that are designed for your bird's size and activity level. If you have a pair, you may also want to add in a nest or some nesting material to encourage building and give them extra enrichment.

Hi Boop by Petco, I bought the budgie last week. In day 3, he let me hold him and stayed on my shoulder nicely. But lately, after day 5, he get freaked out by my touch and flew around the cage and he did not want to get out of the cage anymore. He st
I'm happy to hear that Lill's tumor was benign. There are a couple of possibilities going on, but having a splenectomy should not result in urinary incontinence. Sometimes we will see dogs have to urinate more after surgery due to the amount of fluids that we give them during surgery, but this commonly passes after a couple of days. Since Lill is also drinking more water, I would make sure that her bloodwork was normal after surgery (as well as before). If that is the case, then I would have your vet check a urine sample. If surgery was 3 weeks ago and this is continuing, I doubt it will pass on its own, so I would take her to the vet again to investigate the problem. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

My budgie vomited three times. He does not eat or drink. How can I feed him. The other bird us on amphotericin. My vet told me to give Mavis too. But when I called for this auestion she did not answer.
Continue attempting to contact your veterinarian. Amphotericin is used to treat bacterial and yeast infections in birds, but you'll need an appropriate dose for the second bird. This you'll have to get from the vet as we are legally prohibited from recommending doses for prescription medications. If you don't have experience handfeeding, contact a local breeder or avian vet. In the meantime, a soft diet (such as a handfeeding formula) can be offered. Keep the bird warm and as stress free as possible.

I’m having a pair of pet birds candy and tweety , these are the African love birds I think they are having health issues,where they are not eating food ,sitting on bottom of the cage ,and having watery stools or droppings
Thanks for reaching out about Candy and Tweety. Heat support in the 80-85 F range can give comfort. With both birds ill, inhaled or ingested toxins, a virulent bacterial or viral disease are probable and a veterinary visit is needed ASAP, as birds have little reserves to fall back on. Good luck.
