• OK. So I had Max for almost two years now - and he is now four. The prey drive is out of control. He saw a rabbit on the other side of a 6 ft fence - he went up and over. A week later the rabbit wasn't even there and he went to the same spot ...
  • We recently acquired a young cockatiel a few days ago. I am trying to follow all of the instructions from the "bird person" at the pet store. I don't yet have a feel for the bird's range of behavior, or what might indicate a problem. Today the bird ...

  • I have a pet budgie and he usually gets a visti to the vet twice a year to get his wings and nails clipped. This year, we didn't get a chance to bring hime before the cold weather set in. I don't like to transport the bird to the vet in the cold ...
  • I found a seagull with a broken wing and took him to the vet's. The wing was badly mangled and had to be amputated (which I decided to pay for, rather than have the bird killed). After the op (yesterday), the vet gave the bird back to me. I now ...
