My bird can't stand or perch due to birth defect. What can I do?
Ouch! Those feet should be checked out by a vet and some blood tests run to make sure there isn't a nutritional deficiency or other illness causing the foot problem. If your bird checks out OK, then it may be a genetic deformity that will be there for life. Birds that have trouble perching or getting around may do better with large, flat perches, or flat shelf-like platforms so they can rest their feet and move around without falling off. Food and water dishes with similar shaped platforms can also help make it easier for your bird to access.

How to stop an overstimulated Conure from biting due to excitement?
Hello! It could be that Rico is going through a bit of "phase" and would benefit from some additional training on biting, or he may be understimulated, which is why he is getting so excited when you are finally home. Providing him with some enrichment such as puzzle toys he can chew on and has to work to get a prize from, playing music or a show while you're gone for him to listen to, or adding more time outside of his cage on play structures when you are home may help him to get a little more stimulation without resorting to problem behaviors. I'm also including a few articles that may help as well! https://www.petcoach.co/article/bird-biting-why-they-do-it-and-how-to-correct-it/ https://www.petcoach.co/article/basic-bird-care/

My green-cheeked conure has occasional red spots near its eye. Why?
It is probably from scratching or rubbing. As long as the spots resolve and there are no other symptoms, there is likely no cause for concern. Use concrete perches or clip his nails regularly to keep them in trim. (My African Grey gets the same thing occasionally).

First parakeet: What do I do for care, taming, and habitat?
Hello and congratulations on your new friend, King! Parakeets make wonderful pets, and they are a great first bird for a new bird owner. It sounds like you have everything in order, but I'd definitely get King some toys sooner rather than later as parakeets do require mental stimulation - they are very intelligent! Taming will take some time and patience. Using a perch to entice him to step up can be a good place to start, though I recommend waiting a few days to allow him to adjust to his new surroundings first. Yummy treats can be helpful - dried fruits and veggies are a good choice. Here are some good tips on taming your parakeet: http://www.budgiekeet.com/taming.html Good luck, and I hope King adjusts well! :)

Why get a pet bird? What are the best reasons to own a companion bird?
Ha. Well, I guess the main thing to convince someone of this (or really of anything I suppose) is to list all of the positive things about it. In a Sun Conure's case, I would use things in terms of its long lifespan, its beauty, intelligence, and general ease of care as reasons to have it as a companion. These birds are definitely known for becoming quite attached to their owners and bond to them somewhat like a dog or cat does to their people. Additionally, in terms of birds in general, these are usually pretty healthy as long as they receive appropriate diet and care. Hope this gets you your Conure!
