    Thanks

    Dear Dr. Tarah - our male parakeet has recently stopped singing. We rescued him from an office building window ledge about 4 years ago, so we do not know how old he is. He eats well, is pretty active, and plays with our other keet, a younger female. She sings all the time. We do not think he is sick or injured. Do you have any advice?
