Thanks for your question about Zinnia. I didn't see how long you have had Zinnia, but part of the reason may be that she is nervous and adjusting to her new home/environment. I am not sure what types of toys you have present, but in the picture I could see some rope material, some wood, and some fibrous types of material. These are all very appropriate toys for a lovebird. Other options may include bells (ensure they are made of stainless steel, including the clapper, as heavy metal toxicity is a concern in birds), plastic (ensure that it is sturdy, as we don't want any ingestion of foreign materials!), and you can make homemade toys as well out of tissue paper (with no dyes) and toilet paper or paper towel rolls. To make these more interesting for Zinnia, you may need to play with the toys with her - of course, this will depend on how social she is with you. You can also incorporate food in with the toys to make them more appealing - this can be done using pellets or produce items. Th

Hi there and thank you for using Pet Coach to address your concern. Once a parakeet starts feather plucking or automutilation, you need patience and empathy. There are multiple causes of this self destructive behavior. In young parakeets I would ensure you have plenty of enrichment / toys to play and interact with. Make sure you are offering healthy food such as different fruits and vegetables as their taste stimulates the bird's senses and helps to avoid boredom as well. You can also buy toys that encourage foraging / more work to get to the treats. There is millet or oats in the hull or foraging toys. If this does not improve the behavior, I would seek a consultation with an avian veterinarian to discuss testing options to help determine if there is any systemic disease / infection that could be causing this behavior. I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Thanks for reaching out about Aqua. You can search for free cages on sites such as Craigs List or local bird rescue groups. A minimal size is probably 2' x 2' x 3', but depends on how much time is spent in the cage. Flight is good exercise but needs to monitored so the birds don't get themselves into trouble flying around. No bird should be left outside of its cage unattended. If birds are active and out of the cage for a fair amount, the night cage can be smaller, as is for mostly sleeping. Good luck.

Whether or not a parakeet is a good pet for you depends on what you are looking for in a pet. In terms of being around other animals, for the most part they should be kept separate from larger animals like cats and dogs because they are small and easily injured and a dog or cat may consider them a prey animal and attack the bird or unintentionally hurt them through play. When we let our parakeet out we are sure to keep our dog outside. If your parakeet is hand-raised then it can be trained/handled and will sit on your shoulder or finger and interact with you. If you get a parakeet from a typical pet store like petsmart then these birds are not hand-reared and aren't likely to be hand-tame so they are entertaining to watch, but not easy to get out of their cage. They can be entertaining birds, and like to play, but they can be noisy at times, and can also be messy, spreading feathers and pieces of food around the outside of their cage.
