My green-cheeked conure is fine with me touching her unless she is somewhere higher up than me for instance, her cage or my shoulder. How should I correct this behavior?
Birds can sometimes considering being higher up than another object as "being above it" in a hierarchical sense. Interacting with Kiwi while keeping him on a lower perch, or encouraging him to step down lower with a treat prior to interacting may help reduce any aggression or biting behaviors while perched higher.

For quite some time both of my birds have been chewing the life out of their perches and ladders. I give them gravel grit, and greens, and vitamins in their water. Is this normal, or is there a deficiency, or an underlying problem?
It's definitely normal and is more of a nesting/boredom behavior rather than an indication of a vitamin or mineral deficiency. You can get them to chew on other toys or other objects if you want to minimize the damage to the perches and ladders. Below is a link to some good ideas for keeping them busy. http://www.parrotenrichment.com/ I hope that helps and all is well with the Budgies.

Hello! I just got a parakeet a few days ago and he is trying to sleep on his food perch. Is it normal for a bird to lean on something when they sleep?
Hi there! Thanks for using Boop by Petco. It can be normal for birds to lean on food bowls, toys, or their cage walls while asleep. I would not be concerned unless the leaning continues while he is awake. Examples of this would be tilting his head to one side while walking or circling in one direction. If he is acting normally otherwise, he is likely just getting comfortable. I hope this helps!

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
