How do you deal with an aggressive parakeet, without stressing her out?
Q. I have had my parakeet for several months now, the previous owner had said she had little contact with her when she brought her to my home. She was once hand tamed, but now when you try to hold her she bites you and hard. What can I do to keep from stressing her out but hold her to evaluate for any signs of injury, mites etc?

A. I work in a pet store where we receive birds who we must hand train ourselves. When they arrive to the store they are very much the same as your parakeet. Just be patient with her for the next couple of weeks as you try and socialize her again. If she wont come to you while shes in the cage at all, the easiest thing to do is to grab a towel to get her and rest her on your chest while still wrapped in the towel. This will prevent her from biting anyone and will get her associated with your scent and will help her become familiar with life outside of the cage. Within a week or two you should see a huge improvement and hopefully she will be at the point where you can reach your hand in the cage and she will come to you. As for her biting,… [cont.]

A. Find out why you're stressed about it. Do you not know the material? Does it seem like too much to do in the time you have? Do you think you are missing other things while you're working on the assignment? Find out what the problem is and address it. Eat something (healthy-ish) before you start so your body has energy, have your schedule clear so you can work without distraction or worries, be familiar with the material and/or find someone who can help or guide you. Outline ahead of time what you want to do or think you can get done during certain times, and try to stick to it. If you're staring at a paper, book or computer screen, make sure you look away at something every few minutes to relieve eye stress. Stand up and walk around (to… [cont.]

School is stressing me out way too much.. How do I stop myself from stressing?
Q. I'm 14 and I'm in the 9th grade. School is stressing me out so much recently. When the second semester of school began, we all started off with A's again, but ever since that the only thing my grades have doing is going down. This is really stressing me out because of the fact that we only have 9 weeks of school left... How do I pull my grades up, but yet how do I stop the stress?

A. First: Eat right, get plenty of sleep and exercise. A healthy body is the best defense against stress. Second: Make sure you are dedicating the right amount of study time. No accusations here, but are you spending more time on Y!A or other sites than you should? Are you playing more than you should? Watching too much TV? Third: Do you really NEED to get straight A's? Is it the end of the world to get a B? When I went to college I stressed about getting high grades but you know what? The people who scraped by got the same kind of job as me when we graduated. Forth: A truly happy person is well-rounded. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Enjoy life.
