When I got my Quaker, I was at a bird fair and she was a baby. All I was told was that Quakers were very sweet. I'm very attached to her now, but she is a mean bird who bites hard. Since I obviously didn't train her well as a baby, how can I fix this problem? She is a year old now.

Go back to basics and train her to accept you, then trust you. Speak to her quietly as often as you can. Hand feed her, but if she bites, offer the food on a spoon, talking to her all the time she eats. Try clicker training her; click when she eats from the spoon. Soon, she'll associate food with the clicker and be eager to work out how to get food. Then you click when she is calm and reward her with a treat to teach her to be good.

I am in middle school and usually participate a lot in class and answer the teacher's questions, but since I got a retainer I can't speak properly. How can I fix this?

Explain to your teacher that it will take a while until you will be able to speak normally and I am sure they will understand this. If you practice speaking...

A year ago I thought I was bisexual and told all my friends. After some time I figured that I was just confused. I didn't tell all my friends that, and now I think one of my lesbian friends likes me. What do I do?

First off, you should just be able to "come out" to your friends yet again. That'd be step one, and probably the most difficult of them all. The problem with...

I have two ferrets, a kit and a 3 year old. The three year old is just fine with Ferretone but the kit prefers to go other places to lick it off. How can I keep my kit on my lap while I cut her claws?

Break it down into smaller steps, with the first one being teaching the ferret to stay on your lap (without cutting the nails). Do this by petting her on your...

I am bisexual. I told my mom this and she told me it was “just hormones,” and she’ll “keep it in her mind". I want to tell her I’m serious about this but I’m not sure how to. She supports the LGBTQ community.

Sit down, look her in the eyes, and tell her that you are certain about you sexual orientation with a very serious face. if she truly supports the LGBTQ community,...

What should you do if you ask a girl out over a year ago and she says that she'll date you when she's ready? And what if you hang out with her as friends and flirt with her, but are afraid to ask her out?

It sounds like you’ve already asked her out if she’s told you she’d date you when she’s ready. She’ll let you know if and when that date arrives. In the...

My guinea pig is wheezing and lying very still with her head down. She is about one year old. Will she recover?

You should take her to the vet ASAP. She could have a respiratory infection. The vet can evaluate her and inform you of your treatment options.

This boy and I like each other, but we just met last week. So, we're going to be friends for now. But he told me he caressed my hip and I didn't notice. What does it mean if he does? that?

This means that he softly touched your hip with his hands or fingertips. Caresses can be friendly or romantic, so you may need to ask him about his intentions.

I am 58 years old, and I no longer have an imperforate hymen. BUT my mom told me many years ago (she is gone now) that the pediatrician told her to use a washcloth on me as an infant and open what must have been this type of hymen tissue up. Any knowledge of this "treatment" anywhere?

This type of treatment is more commonly used to treat what is called labial adhesions. This is when the labia or outer lips of the vagina essentially stick together. You...
