Hello,
My male Amazon parrot who I’ve had for 30 years goes out of his way to attack my wife but not myself even though I grab him with gloved hands when he misbehaves.
Nancy W asks,
I have a yellow-naped amazon.
He is approximately 7-8 years old.
We got him as a baby.
He talks very little still.
What can I do to make him talk more?
Why is it so important to understand the differences between bird species?
I’m not ashamed to say we get more deliveries from Amazon (like most Americans) then we care to talk about.
This week a new Amazon driver “Patrick” handed off an envelope then said “I’ve never been here before – this place looks cool.”
Gwyneth asks
 Is a 16 x 24 open done top actually bug enough for an Amazon parrot. I have a small space. The cage would fit much better than the 24 x 30 current cage?
Hi Gwyneth
Do you mean 24″ wide x 16″ deep?
Do you also currently have a 30″ wide x 24″ deep cage?
If your parrot is able to be outside of the cage (on top or on a stand) for several hours a day, then the smaller cage should be fine.
But if the bird is a large amazon you may wish to stay with the 30″ wide cage.
Regards,
Catherine
Should a patient receive radiation therapy be separated from his pet bird?Â

My husband will be receiving radioactive iodine therapy for thyroid cancer soon.
I recently realized that I might have “Bird fancier’s lung” (bronchitis caused by sensitivity to dust from feathers and droppings).
Should I give away my pet bird?
This might be an interesting topic for a Birdie Brunch!Â
Hello, I’m Laurie Cannon, who wrote to you about the possibility of adopting an older Green-Winged Macaw.Â
We didn’t do that, however, we did contact a breeder about a Panama Amazon baby.Â
She seemed almost horrified when she found out both my husband and I are totally blind.Â

Do they tolerate plexiglass? Plastic?
Angela said
Locking rings are a toy I offer but they will not play with them.
Instead, they go around them as if the ring toys were in their way or annoyed them
