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 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.

One of my parrots (the blue one) doesn’t let my other parrot eat,sometimes paces,nails are way longer than my other parrot even though they grew up together,different colored beak and more aggressive towards the other one.Even though it doesn’t happe
It may be a dominance behavior. Consider a larger cage for them with additional food and water bowls to prevent resource protection. A concrete perch or sandpaper perch wraps may help keep nails trim. You can also clip them yourself or have them clipped if you have never done it before. If the behavior persists or worsens, you may need to cage them separately to prevent injury.
