Re: Citrus Fruit

I've read that you should avoid giving your IRN cirtrus fruits - does it hurt them. I was given an IRN, named Rosie. He loves oranges - but I won't let him have any more until I know if this is true. As long as you remove the pips there is no real problem with oranges (i dont know about other citru...

Gloves are very controversial in the parrot world, lol. I believe it can be alright to use them. Simply because of this fact: A bird who only knows gloves would be terrified of hands. So it stands to reason a bird may bite a gloved hand. That's better than biting my finger! It's difficult not to je...

If I may offer some advice... no gloves please. I know the bites hurt and I too used a golf glove at first until I was taught better. As long as you use the glove you are sitting back the day he or she becomes tame. My bird bites when I try to get her out of her cage mostly, therefore, I use a 'ste...
