Question
Hi! It's me again. Butters loves her two cages but another problem has occurred with my birds. I'm sure I will need your help alot considering I have 2 dogs, 2 cats, 5 birds (3 babies), 2 fish, 1 hamster, and 1 lizard.
We're keeping 1 baby bird and the rest are leaving. But the bird we're keeping (Kiko) isn't very welcomed by his parents. His mom shoves him off the perch and never cleans him. His dad cleans him sometimes. They can eat on their own. Kiko always sleeps by his lonesome while the other birds sleep with their mom and dad. It seems that Kiko parents don't like him very much. And we are going to keep Kiko. What do we do?

Answer
Hi Kegan,

I'm glad your hamster likes her cages.  Unfortunately, I don't know anything about birds (just gerbils, hamsters, and mice), so I'm afraid I can't help you with your problem.  However, there are bird experts at allexperts.com, so I'm sure someone will be able to answer your question :)

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask :)
