Upside down: Galah”Bondi”
The first bird I ever trained to go upside down and do the “bat” was my galah, Bondi, who is currently 4 years old. The second bird I trained to do the bat impression was my blue throated macaw, Jinx, and most recently I trained my 1.5 year old [...]

Recently Dave joined me this month in trick training and just overall training our parrots new things… and one of the ideas he had was training them all to fly through hoops! So we got home hula hoops from our local Walgreens and started the training immediately.
Dave had already trained Tiko, [...]

I’ve just been on a training frenzie lately, I know!
My goal is to catch my entire flock up to speed with where my cockatoo, Bondi, is. She is our “pro” training parrot. She knows so many things and learns super fast (but gets bored easy, too) and I just want the [...]

I decided to teach my African Grey how to spin in a circle and I wanted to get it all on film so you guys could see how it works, real time. However, my camera ran out of memory during my “blurry” session in the red shirt. And I didn’t actually [...]

Hanging from Me: Congo African Grey “Cressi”
Yes, my African Grey parrot could pretty much pass for a monkey the way she plays on me. She hangs from anything she can grasp; clothes, hair, hands, shoes, anything. And I don’t mind – most of the time – as it’s hilarious and entertaining [...]

I was staying at my parents’ house in Sandpoint, Idaho (I sometimes refer to it as Sagle as well) over the winter holidays with my flock and my mom kept receiving beautiful bouquets of flowers from friends, family and co-workers. She actually got so many she started putting one in each [...]

In the video you will first hear my Congo African Grey say, “Cressi!” which is her name. She is mimicking a man’s voice though, not mine. The loud whistling that follows is also her (she is the best whistler of the current flock). But then she stopped… because she and Bondi (the galah pacing on [...]

I’ve been reading a lot about healthy foods for my parrots. And I’ve found that brown rice is super healthy and be given on a daily basis! The interesting thing about brown rice vs. white is white I’ve always made on the stove top while brown rice has to be baked [...]
