If you could only have one species & type for the rest of your days, what would it be?

This one may be more for Patty (btw, miss her talking parrot food and health so much ❤️), but here it goes: I wonder what your thoughts are on milk thistle oil and giving it to parrots occasionally (a few drops over seasonal feeding) as preventative for liver problems?

I'm getting vibes that my green cheek would be happier overall with a buddy. (To increase his quality of life, not replace training and proper husbandry) I am not keen, however, on adding another conure to my flock (cus one is enough, ya know!) I am interested in adding a budgie. What are your opinions on safety with a budgie and conure together? (And I know this is a loaded question and greatly depends on the birds- sorry in advance!)

Heavy question….. How to know if you are pushing too much with your bird….. Male galah, 31y , was a breeding bird and did a bunch of home…. Will be 3y in February that he is with me…… Silly me! I had this expectation that I would make him come out of his shell, and be somewhat a “normal” “silly” galah….. Well, after working with Kim, and still am….we did amazing progress, but it’s still very far from my idea of owning a galah…… I realize now, he will never be silly, funny and naughty like most, but more of a serious cautious type …Mostly du to his past. Definitely need to readjusted my expectations! I was so sure with training, proper sleep and diet he will completely turn around….. I don’t think it will ever be the case……I am afraid I am pushing too much to convince him that my way of seeing things is better then his….. I am wondering when it’s time to stop trying to train and let the bird be his old way….. I feel I am in this battle about trying to convince him to interact and doing behaviour for me , is the way to go….. As much progress as we got, there is as much guilt for pushing a relationship, I am not sure he wants to have …… You have done many project birds so maybe you have some input on this :) Should I continue or let him be?

If there is one thing that you could stress to someone looking in to getting a bird what would it be (besides doing research)?

Have you ever messed up an act in your show?

My husband has bad bird anxiety but absolutely adores or Goffins. What would you suggest be a good first step on over coming this bird anxiety?

Heather

Do you have any advice for someone who has been bit pretty badly on how to regain confidence in working with a bird?

Heather

What’s an a bigger long time goal you have for your flock or a bird within the flock? Okay. I’m done adding questions now 😆😆

Who in your flock was the biggest challenge?

What’s one thing you wish you would have known then that would have saved a lot of headaches when it comes to training?

Hi There! I would like to get new carpet in my house. I would also like to paint. Are there concerns with either of these regarding off gassing or fumes that could be a hazard to Green Cheek Conure Kimber. Thanks!
