Any suggestions on who to go to is much appreciated. No rescues are around me. Utah is very limited...

Hello! I’m trying to find an answer for this: why when F1 Harles get bred with F1 Harles, do the chicks (F2 Harlequins) get brown feathers, look sickly/ill, and most die around 10-13 weeks of age but it doesn’t happen to F2 Catalina’s or F2 Rubys. This has always confused me. Thanks! F1 =...

So, my recently adopted 3 year old B&G started screaming yesterday, similar to a woman screaming. I had my headphones in when he did it for the first time yesterday and it spooked the crap out of me. He did it again when I took my headphones off. But he seemed excited to do it, eyes pinning and...

Please help me out! I have a green-winged macaw I have owned for 5 years now. After his most recent molt I noticed that some of his feathers weren’t growing back in some places. I later noticed that every now and then when grooming himself, he would pull out a pin feather and eat it. Nothing in...
