Q: Moving is stressful for parakeets, so avoid taking the bird out of their cage as much as possible in the first week or so that you bring it home. Taking it out too soon could cause them to get nervous and fly into things that could hurt them. You may ultimately opt to keep your parakeet fully flighted, but before your bird is hand-trained, it can be helpful to keep their wings clipped. This will keep them from flying away and hurting themselves while you teach them good out-of-cage behavior. Ask your seller if your parakeet's flight feathers have already been clipped. If not, visit an avian vet. Even if you want to learn to clip the feathers at home, a vet should show you how it's done and walk you through the process the first time. Always take your bird to a professional avian vet for a wing clip, if possible. An unbalanced clipping can cause your bird to crash land when it attempts to fly. Another option is to train your bird to "come" on command, much like a dog might. Hand training starts with you gently introducing your hand into the cage. When your parakeet is used to your hand, you can gently nudge them from their perch onto your finger. With practice and praise, you will eventually be able to train your parakeet to come to your finger using hand signals and vocal commands. It helps to keep treats nearby when you are hand training so that your parakeet learns to associate you with a positive experience. Hand training takes time, especially when you introduce verbal cues such as "up" and "return." Be patient with your parakeet.
A: Let your parakeet adjust to a new home. Get their wings clipped while you train them. Hand train your parakeet.

Q: The area you or your organization writes in likely already has a preferred style guide. If you want to create your own, consider starting with the preferred guide. It can give you an idea of what you want to include in your own. You don't have to write a whole new guide if another one covers the bulk of what you want. Instead, you can just note how your company differs from the main style guide. Decide what sections you think your style guide needs. Write clear headings for each of these sections, and establish a well-thought-out order for the sections. For instance, you may want sections on common mistakes, your organization's stylistic choices, tone, formatting, and preferred words and acronyms. At the end, you may want a quick reference section and an index. Divide these sections up with subheadings as needed to make it easy to flip through the guide. Add tabs to the pages after printing or use black markers printed on the edge of the page to delineate sections. The table of contents establishes the structure of your guide, making it easy to find everything else. Therefore, it should be right up front so your readers can find it easily. To organize your table of contents, place the main headings on the page in a bold font over to the left. Place page numbers indicating where these headings are justified to the right. Add subheadings and page numbers under each heading in a regular font. If your style guide is on a website, place the table of contents at the top. Each heading should be a link to the appropriate section.
A:
Check out other style guidelines in your professional area. Create clear sections and headings. Make the table of contents one of the first pages.
