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.

I have a parakeet that I got 3 weeks ago. He has no problem at all perching on my finger if I have a treat, I dont even need to tell him or rub his belly to perch. When I try to get him to perch without food he either walks away or doesn't move or oc
Patience and time! Until he's 100% on his training, be sure to always reward with a treat. However, if he's perfect at it with a treat every time, you can start to wean off them. You can try luring him with the treat to get him to perch, and then start only giving him treats intermittently. If he doesn't know when he's getting a treat and when he isn't, he may be more inclined to keep trying in the hopes he gets one sometimes. You can also use a favorite toy to play with, a gentle pet in a place he enjoys, or some of his regular food instead as a "treat" while you're phasing out the real ones.

I want a pet bird but I have NO space!! I want one of those gothic hanging cages…would one of those work? What’s a bird that’s low maintenance (I’m not good at cleaning cages) I also want one with a not super long life span.
Birds can be fun pets to have around the house, but I have to say that they are all high-maintenance. They require daily feeding, cleaning bathing and appropriate enrichment in order to keep them happy and healthy. If this is not provided, then you may end up with a miserable/sickly bird with no feathers. Vet bills can be very expensive when birds get sick, because there are limited veterinarians that are knowledgable and skilled with avian medicine. Providing as much space as possible is best for a bird. I think I have an idea of the type of cage you want, but this is not a very suitable cage for anything other than a small bird (tend to have shorter life-spans than bigger birds). Even then it's quite small for a bird, because birds are born with the expectation of having unlimited space. You will also have to consider the noise. If your place is small, then I'd assume you have close neighbors. Birds are generally very noisy and can easily make some enemies in close quar

My parakeet is about 4years old. Just this year his upper beak started growing long. We trim it every other week, and it still grows very fast. I think it inhabits him from eating certain food.
As the beak grows, it certainly becomes difficult for parakeets to eat certain things or even get at their water. I have a similar aged parakeet and this also happened around 3 yrs of age with him. We added more sand paper perches throughout the cage and cuttlefish bones and that seemed to increase the time between beak trimmings. We haven't actually had to trim his beak this year because he is doing so well. Give this a try and if it does not help, I am free to chat via consultation if needed.

I just got a new budgie yesterday and he doesn't have bars going down to his cere so I'm guessing he's 4-5 months old. I've had budgies before and this one seems like his feet/legs are a little farther apart then normal when he perches. Also, when he
Be sure that Rio's toenails are not overgrown as this can cause abnormalities when standing or perching. Also make sure he has several purchases of different varying diameters and textures in his cage to help encourage proper grip and strength. It's hard to say if what you're describing is abnormal or just a normal variation. If you would like to repost your question again with pictures that may give us a little bit more information to help.
