I forgot about how much adjustment most parrots need when moving to a warm weather place like Florida. My birds came from Saipan, which is pretty much like Florida but maybe more humid? Not sure. It’s pretty close…
I make sure that my parrots have plenty of water in [...]

On the couch: Military macaw “Cash”
After 5 months of my military macaw hanging at Missi’s place, he came back to live with us and I have to say, I was damn excited to see him again!

“Before”
I love aviaries because you don’t have to clean them as often as indoor cages, and because it’s SO easy to create ways for birds to forage in them by just using the grass at the bottom (unless you have cement).

My local PetSmart is only a mile away in Waterford Lakes here in Orlando, Florida. And when I recently went in there to check out some cat doors for my cat, I was at the check out and saw Simon’s empty parrot cage. That wasn’t usual. Normally, Simon [...]

Not only should you be changing your bird’s bottom of the cage (liner/newspaper) at LEAST once a week, but actually washing down your bird’s cage is just as important.
If your cage fits through your doorways, simply wheeling it outside for a nice power wash is key. If it [...]

For those of you that remember my Traveling in Style post, you will appreciate this one.
Originally, we equipped our trailer with enough cages to accomodate our flock when we would be traveling a bit. However, it was never meant to be “full time” traveling based on [...]

Coffee time with: Galah “Bondi”
It’s really important to include your bird in your daily routine as MUCH as possible. Especially if you’re a very scheduled person. Finding those chores and times in the day where your bird can be a part of it all is super important and good for your [...]
