Thee who tore up the Netflix mailer: Umbrella Too “Linus”
Randomly almost every day I will take a walk with Patty and Linus to the mailbox. It’s something Patty did with him back when she lived in Austin and I always would invite my cat along with me so to have Linus [...]

Playing: Grey Parrot “Cressi”
Rough housing your bird is actually a VERY good thing to do with them early on. It’s a form of play that some birds LOVE and NEED. Other birds, maybe not so much, but every bird can enjoy it. Even my most mellow parrot, Bondi, lets us know [...]

Bird pile: Camelot Macaws “Comet” & “Tusa”, Blue Throat Macaws “Zoey” & “Jinx”
So recently my flock got to meet Zoey, the newest freeflight student! It was a playful mess of fun with her around! She wasn’t at all intimidated by the “older” birds (I still think of them as babies) and [...]

These toys don’t last long at all in my house… they are popular and very fun among my macaws. Not to mention, they’re a great source of play and calcium so make sure to give your birds some of these every once in a while!

Lately my Camelot macaws have been all about wrestling each other on the ground while on their backs! They have tried to get me to join in, as well as Jinx (blue throated macaw) but neither of us are willing to join in… we don’t want to accidentally get hurt with [...]

I am SUCH a huge fan of the monthly toy program, this video above is one of the toys we got last month on the toy program (the toys are different every month!) and my flock loved it! This one is a bird kabob and it’s awesome.
The texture is what the [...]

Shown: Swainson Toucan “Fiji”
I can’t stress enough that no matter what type of bird you have, you need to change their toys around at least once a month! It’s so essential for their well being and mental health. They need change and fun and play – just like we do on [...]
