One way you can include your bird in the holiday festivities early on is by letting your bird be apart of the preparation!
Some birds might need some extreme desensitization with the holiday decor; lights, trees, ornaments, noise, music, etc… there’s a lot of things that go into the holiday that we [...]

Flock: Quaker “Libby”, Goffins “Theo”, Cockatiels “Tinky” & “DeeDee”
Since I am going on tour this November/December, I decided to have Patty (a blogger from the bird tricks blog) come and live at the house while we’re away for 2 years. It was a great work out for both of us, really. [...]

I recently came across a super nice 12 year old girl named Kate and she directed me over to her blog. Now, her entire blog is not made around the topic of parrots, but some of her posts are as she has become more and more interested in them.
So I wanted to take the time [...]

I think every bird should be accustomed to having his/her feet held. It’s just a firm opinion I have and it’s what I do with ALL my birds (okay, so I don’t do it with my budgies…)
I show how to do this using Hymie the Hyacinth Macaw in the video above. [...]

I’ve gone through WAY too many travel carriers with my birds. This one above was eaten by one of my many traveling parrots. When shipping your bird UNDERNEATH the airplane, they do not allow toys to be put inside the cage. Therefore, THIS happens!
I finally began modifying my own travel cages just to accomodate my [...]

Meditation Parrot: Blue and Gold Macaw “Jersey”
Dave and I got Jersey when she was 6 months old. We purchased her over the internet and had her shipped to Dave’s brother. He and his wife were the first ones to meet Jersey (and her brother Chayko) and had them for a [...]

Remember my “Bathing = Bonding” post about how I used the act of showering/bathing my birds to get them to be OK next to one another, even though outside of that environment they hated one another?
Well, I decided to try that AGAIN… and [...]

Holding: Baby Camelot Macaws “Tusa” and “Comet”
For the holidays I went to my parents’ house. Now… my parents aren’t really bird people. My mom had birds as a kid (lovebird, parakeet and cockatiel) and my dad had none. He’s pretty intimidated by parrots in general, actually (more-so macaws).
So, since my Camelot [...]

Looking at Each Other: Short Hair “Ninja” & Galah “Bondi”
I was a cat person before I was a bird person… so yes, I actually have a cat!
Now, cats and small birds like parakeets, budgies, parrotlets, cockatiels… birds of that size, DON’T MIX. Those types of birds just cannot stick up for [...]

We are all aware of the imfamous MySpace.com where people network like crazy and many have become famous from all their wide-received clicks! Well, now there is a My Space for Pets! I know, I know… I didn’t believe it when I heard about it either…
But it’s true. MyPetSpace.com (also IfPetsCouldType.com) is a place where [...]
