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.

This means either your bird is extremely sick or something is really bothering it, like its surroundings or something.
You should firstly take him to the vet right away if this has been going on for a long time.
If it was very recent, check the cage surroundings for things that could be bothersome, such as an air humidifier, dehumidifier, heater, air conditioner, etc

Why does your budgie have a lump on his chest?
Budgies are very susceptible to fatty tumors, especially if they are fed a seed-only diet. Some fatty tumors are harmless, but some are not. Your vet can make that determination, it's not something that can be figured out over the internet.
Budgies can't pull out feathers that they can't reach with their beaks. If a bird is losing feathers on its head or neck, the problem is not plucking (unless a cagemate is responsible for the plucking). Bald spots are not normal for budgies, even elderly ones. You should consult an avian veterinarian.
