Sleeper: Swainson Toucan “Meaka”
One of my favorite things about Toucans is how they sleep. This picture is of Meaka, a Swainson Toucan I adopted from a lady in Sandpoint, Idaho of all places. She owned a petshop there and Meaka’s original name was Skittles. She didn’t know her name yet, so [...]

In my opinion, cuttlebone perches are one of the best inventions for parrots of all-time! My entire flock loves these perches in every flavor. I love giving my birds the colored perch that matches them. For example, I tend to mix it up but I find it a great photo opportunity to give Cash, my [...]

Trainee: Congo African Grey “Cressi”

Bather: Rose Breasted Cockatoo “Bondi”
I’ve always had a very diverse flock. Because of this, all my birds have reacted differently to certain aspects of thier life. For instance; bathing.
My larger parrots such as my Rose Breasted Cockatoo (Galah), Congo African Grey, Blue and Gold Macaws, Military Macaw, and Swainson Toucans have always [...]
