My Budgies Beak Broke Off – Can I Fix It?

Stevie Van Zandt requested your answer

I have a rescue budgie, the top of his beak was almost totally gone, just barely hanging.

I removed what was hanging and she seems ok, I made a “mush” for her to eat. Will the beak grow back?

Hello,

I look forward to getting your email every Sunday and reading it has become as much a ritual as the old Sunday paper.

Thunder laid four eggs, one of which was fertilized.

Are Mites Making Making My Macaw Miserable?

Hi Mitch,

Always look forward to your Sunday articles, thanks!

Madeleine is a (Blue & Gold Macaw) rescue from a home where she was malnourished, neglected and abused.

I was able to negotiate relinquishment but it’s been a year of learning for me, we bonded and I decided to adopt her instead of fostering.

This has become a helluva slippery slope.

They are in this big beautiful Prevue F050 aviary.

They’ve created their own micro culture.

Think of a bunch of garden hoses banded together arbitrarily shooting water out one or the other.

As opposed to a “firehose” of information.

Now you know what fielding questions about captive bird care looks like to us.

We don’t know where it’s going to come from – Disqus, our blog, one of three ways you can contact us directly on the website or email.

Just organizing the questions is a task in-and-of-itself.
