Question:
Is it safe to leave glasses of soda where my bird can find them?

Don't leave glasses or cups containing any amount of liquid where birds can find them. Birds have fallen head first into containers with only a small amount of liquid in the bottom and drowned.

Q.
Dear Bird Guru,
When I was younger, around 8 years old, I got an Alexandrine parrot as a pet whom I hand fed and had for about 6 years. She was a very tame happy bird until we got a dog, and she started to get a little bit weird. She would pluck her feathers and make really loud noises. Not knowing what to do, my mother called the breeder and he told us that she needed a mate, and to give her back to him. Its been 3 years, and she hasnt bred, although she is with a male bird. I worry everyday about her because now that I work with birds in a pet store, I know there are other things you could do for your parrot before you result to giving her up. I feel terrible for what happened and I would do anything to have her back and make things right. I am willing to work with her but I am worried if bringing her back home would be worse for her. Since she`s been at the breeder she was not played with and just stayed with the other bird but I really think she wasnt meant to be a breeder bird because she was our pet for 6 years. Please, what is the best thing we can do? Would it be wrong to take her back? Would she have more trouble adapting...? I cant stop thinking about her and Im willing to do whatever it takes.
Thank you for your time,
Amanda Dookie
