Siblings: Blue Throated Macaws
My baby blue throated macaw is growing up! He or she is finally looking blue and the nice black beak is showing. Looks like they have to grow into their feet now!

Most people, when buying their first bird, think to get a second one so the first doesn’t get lonely. But then they fall into the groove of, “My bird doesn’t want anything to do with me” and that’s because you got it a friend. This friend goes through it all with them, and he trusts [...]

When buying a cage for your bird, you need to know the correct bar spacing. This varies depending on the size and capability of your bird. Ideally, pet parrots should be provided an outdoor aviary as large as possible.

Of: Keel Billed Toucan
Fiji is my three year old Swainson Toucan and ever since learning and really just diving into the world of freeflight, I’ve wanted to convert my entire flock over to it! Especially after having much success with my Congo African Grey, Cressi.

Sibs: Blue Throated Macaws
This is a picture of two blue throated macaw babies. One of which, is mine! I have already picked the name (with the help from Dave) of Jinx (Jinxi for a nickname). The reason for the name comes from the word “jinks” but we wanted to spell [...]

Getting lovin’: Swainson Toucan “Meaka”
The question I get asked the most about toucans are, “Are they cuddly?” well, I think this picture says it all. This is my Swainson Toucan about a year and a half old at the time. She was always gentle and cuddly and would rub her head [...]
