My Canary, Ringo, has a Cage that has a peaked roof, like a house. I have a chance to get a Flat-topped roof, larger cage. Which type of cage do Canaries like? I prefer the house-style cage, as it is more attractive. But, I realize Canaries don't
It is best to go with the cage that has the most horizontal flight space. Peaked cages are OK looks-wise, but make sure it is safe and feet and wings can't get caught where the edges meet. Avoid round shaped cages as well as it can sometimes stress birds out to not have a corner they can hide and relax in. Any cage should have enough room to move around a bit, have some toys for enrichment, and have a place to quietly rest aside from food and water locations.

Provide a fortified seed mix as well as a pelleted diet (Harrison's, Pretty Bird, Lafeber or KayTee Exact). A cuttlebone or mineral block should also be placed in the cage. Enough nesting material should also be available to cushion and protect the eggs.

Birds cannot digest items such as cheese and should not be given it as it can make them ill. If Barkha became ill after eating it, I would worry he is very sick from something he can't digest and should be seen by a vet right away, especially since he is showing symptoms of illness. Removing him to a warm hospital cage with access to food and water may help, but vet care is needed at this point.

Hello! I have a kakariki bird who is unstable when he is sleeping on his perch (kinda leaning back and forward) and he can sometimes be a bit unstable when he is walking on his perch as well. He is not showing any signs of sickness from what I can se
There are a lot of reasons why a bird may have trouble perching including nails that need trimming, perches that are the wrong sizes (usually too small or narrow), muscular or neurologic issues, age, deformities, illness, etc. It is always a good first step to schedule a vet checkup and rule out any more serious causes first. If Haru checks out healthy, making sure he's on a balanced diet can help keep him strong and fit. You may also want to add in some larger perches where he doesn't have to curl his toes all the way around as it may help with balance. Adding in a flat shelf platform to sleep on can also help make sure he stays comfortable while asleep without falling off the person. Making sure all of his food and water dishes are easy to get into and out of can also help if he has trouble getting around.

Thank you so much Jessica doctor. And what kind of food can I give to meenu?plz suggest
You're welcome! I'm not entirely sure what brands are offered in India, but [here are some good foods](https://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/category/bird/bird-food-and-treats/bird-food/parrot-hookbill-food) from our store that can give you a template of what kind of food to feed Meenu. Any formula for parrots or hookbills should be appropriate for conures. Most pet stores will carry something similar, so if you have one nearby you can use this list to shop for similar ingredients. Adding in some fresh fruits and veggies as snacks and treats can also help round out Meenu's diet and make things more exciting for her!
