When will it be safe to get rid of wasp nest in the bird box?
It's generally safest to remove a wasp nest in a bird box during late evening or early morning when wasps are less active. Wait until late fall or early winter when wasps have died off or left the nest for the season. Always wear protective clothing and consider using a professional pest control service for safety. Avoid removing the nest during the warmer months when wasps are active and can become aggressive.
Cockatiels could fight for numerous reasons. It could be breeding season and they are fighting over a mate. They could fight over a particular nestbox or could be attempting to chase another bird away from their territory during breeding. A male may want to mate or preen a hen that isn't interested or vice versa. They also can fight because of jealousy if one bird is getting more attention than another. They could be overcrowded in their living space and need more room. The reasons are endless
Cockatiels are like any living creature. They do not always get along for various reasons and sometimes fights occur. Usually however they are nothing more than a lot of noise and wing displaying and neither bird gets physically harmed. If one does however get injured then the offenders will need to be separated into different cages.

Your budgie keeps flapping but is clinging on to the cage?
Your budgie is trying to exercise. He cannot fly properly, but if he grips the cage and flaps his wings, he is getting some of the exercise he craves.
Just because the bird seems to want to fly, do not allow it to. A budgie on the loose in a house is a recipe for disaster for the bird.
Why do my parakeets keep pooping in the food bowl when it's above the perch?
Birds don't really control when or where they poop - they just, as Nike would say, do it. So if they are sitting on food bowl, that's where they'll 'go.' It's not uncommon for a parakeet to perch itself on the edge of its food bowl.

How do you keep black birds away from feeders in your yard and let the blue birds and cardinals eat?
- My friend who is a member of the police department swat team uses an air rifle.
- You could paint the feeders blue & red. This may not keep the black birds away, but it should draw more blue birds & cardinals. Bluebirds are very territorial and if you get enough of them, they might run the black birds off.
- Use safflower seeds in the feeder, instead of corn or sunflower seeds. Blackbirds and sparrows don't like them, but cardinals do.
After feeding birds for 15 years, I can tell you that there is no successful way to keep the blackbirds away from your feeders. The best you can (which is better than the two ways above) is to invest in the feeders that only allow the small birds to eat. Some have weighted ledges and are designed to keep squirrels out, but also make it difficult for the heavier big birds. And some have a cage like apparatus around the feeder that allows the little birds to enter to the feeder but keep the big birds out. However, even this is only partially successful, because there will still be ground feeders and blackbirds that will come and sit hoping to figure out a way to eat your seed.
You will have to spend a lot of time with your parrot, parrots have to become tame and that will probably be the only way to get them to stay on shoulders. Clipping their wings are to be safe, To do that, just open the wing and cut all the primary feathers, the longer flight feathers, but leave the three outer feathers so when the wing is folded it looks normal.
Carrier pigeons are not trained to fly to someplace, but rather back to a place, specifically their home bases. This is why they are also called homing pigeons.
By taking pigeons to various other locations, they could be released there and would instinctively fly home.
