Question
hi hope you had a good time on ur vacation.i need help my blue female budgie has started bitng me realy hadr what do i do.

Answer
Hi, David,

I'm sorry for responding late to your question(s).  I was hospitalized and trying to catch up.

I would need more details about the situation with your bird, such as what has changed that has resulted in biting behavior, age of the bird, is the bird tame or not, diet, how long have you owned this bird, etc., etc.  The more details the better I'm able to help.

Expertise

I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 20 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.

Experience

Over 20 years breeding/raising/handfeeding/selling 15 different species of parrots.

Education/Credentials
