Birds: Blue throat “Jinx” and Galah “Bandit”
It’s so important for our pet parrots to receive real, raw, natural sunlight… and I don’t mean just through a window. If you think about what they get in the wild, you will realize how LITTLE they get in your home. It’s a necessary [...]

Kissed: Galah “Bandit”

It’s so important to weigh your bird and chart its weight for at least a complete year so you know the ups and downs of the seasons, weather, age, and more of your bird. So you know what is normal, what isn’t and what is predictable. When your [...]

Eating pasta: Hyacinth “Hymie”
I had company for 10 days this month and it was sort of… crazy. Fitting in time for Hymie was harder in those ten days but I did have some great progress. I got him to eat three new foods!

Oatmeal
Creamed corn
I was eating oatmeal one [...]

The only way to test for iron storage disease in toucans is to do a liver biopsy and when Dave and I did so with our Swainson Toucan years ago, we found she was very high in iron because when we first got her we were told [...]
