It is common for a newly bought parrot to refuse food and water for a day or two — usually out of fear of its new surroundings and a sudden change in diet.

How Long Can a Parrot Survive Without Eating, and What to Do
A parrot that suddenly stops eating may be ill or rejecting food; without food and water it may survive only 3-5 days, or about 10 with water. Causes include environment or diet change and disease. Observe, keep things calm and clean, and see a vet if diarrhea, fever, or lethargy appear.
Why Arowana Lose Color and the Risks of Forcing Quick Coloration
Arowana can fade because of heat, poor water quality, or long-term pigment feeds, and some fading is permanent. Many keepers chase rapid, vivid color, but the tricks used—restricted feeding, lower temperature, lower pH, reduced water flow—stunt the fish's growth and rob it of its natural stature. Balanced development matters more than looks.

Why Your Budgie Screams at Night and How to Stop It
Budgies are diurnal and normally settle down at night, so persistent screaming after dark usually signals stress, hunger, or a disrupted routine. Common triggers include fright, an off schedule, nighttime noise, and an unstable perch.

Should Rabbits Fast Before Spay or Neuter Surgery?
Rabbits should NOT be fasted before spay or neuter — they do not vomit under anesthesia, and an empty gut raises the risk of fatal gastrointestinal stasis. Spaying females at 1–2 years and neutering males around 6 months lowers reproductive-disease risk, and after surgery keep the environment calm, offer plenty of water and food, and watch the incision for infection.
