What should I do if my parcel arrives damaged
You must sign for the parcel as damaged and contact us by email with images of the damage. If Cages arrive and they are badly damaged, you should refuse the delivery.
My bird’s Nails are very long, do I need the vet to trim them?
Usually, the nail trimming perch will do the trick. Remember to buy bigger rather than smaller so the bird’s nails sit on the perch rather than wrapping around it. You`ll find them under Perches, then Nail Trimming Perches, or click the link below.
How can I stop my bird feather plucking?
There is no cure for feather plucking. Full stop! You must rule out any health issues with your vet. Once done, don`t blame yourself! Provide your bird with foraging toys, shredding toys, and love and care. A UV lamp may help. Regular spray baths will also help stop any dry skin. A plucking bird is not necessarily an unhappy bird. Link below to toys which may help, along with some of our pluckers’ food mixes and packs
I need to rehome my bird. what do I do?
First, please make sure it is the right thing to do. Don`t rehome your bird because you think you are not good enough or that the bird would be happier elsewhere. That is not necessarily the case, and if things are not going right, again, please look to some of the forums and groups on our links. However, if you do decide rehoming is the option you want to take, please contact Problem Parrots or a reputable bird charity.
Which is best, pellets or seed diets?
This remains an ongoing debate. We believe a mix of both to be the best for most birds. we only sell top-quality bird seed mixes, so find the one to suit your bird type and add some pellet complete diet. Roudybush, Hagen, and Harrison’s are the most popular pellets we sell.
If I do decide to try to convert fully to pellets, how do I do it
Usually, the Roudybush pellets are the best way. There is a soak and feed available, but also a wide variety of sizes in pellets. Introduce a new diet gradually so you do not stress your birds’ liver.
Which UV Light is Good for My Bird
If your bird is particularly destructive, you may prefer the floor-standing lamp as opposed to the cage-fitted ones. Most avian vets recommend uv lights to help birds process calcium, help with feather plucking and general behaviour. Link below to lighting.
Does my bird need a vitamin supplement?
It is generally recommended that African Greys and most other birds have a calcium supplement, especially egg laying birds. Calcivet is most popular for birds on a seed diet and FeatherUp is good for birds who are moulting. If your bird is very young or on a pellet diet supplements are not recommended
How Do I know if my bird is ill
General signs of illness are, fluffing up, tiredness, discharge from the nose, loss of appetite, loose droppings, discolured white part to the droppings (though this alters depending on what the bird has eaten), wheezing, heavy breathing, change in behaviour, weakness in his grip. These are all signs that your bird is ill
What should I do if my Bird Is ill
Seek advice from an avian vet straight away. In the meantime keep your bird warm and hydrated. Guardian Angel is particularly good for ill birds as is Harrisons recovery formula. Both found on the healthcare pages. Do not attempt to spray your bird or take it out of familiar surroundings. If your bird is unsteady on his feet lower the perches and put a towel on the bottom of the cage.
If your bird is gasping or has shallow breathing either take him into a bathroom where it is steamy, nebulise with F10SC if you have any to hand or boil a kettle and put steaming water near him for him to inhale.
