Did you know....?
Like dogs & cats birds need mental stimulation to keep them happy. We'd love to hear what you have taught your bird to do and how you keep their minds busy.
Below is some information from North Nowra Veterinary clinic regarding mental stimulation for your birds.
As most of you know, birds are extremely smart animals. This applies to birds as small as budgies all the way through to our larger pet birds. They need to keep their minds busy and active to deter them from developing bad habits such as undesirable chewing, biting, screaming, plucking and more. A great way to do this is by training them. Train them to “step up”, pick up items and put them in a box, walk through an obstacle course………the list is only as long as your imagination.
There are lots of videos on the internet to show you how to train your bird using positive reinforcement. Most birds will absolutely love their training sessions but keep them short and sweet. Use their favourite food as their treat. Try small bits of almond (crushed or slivered), pieces of corn or sunflower seeds.

Did you know….?
Homemade dog treats have benefits beyond being budget-friendly they also ensure that you know exactly what you are feeding your dog. There are no hidden chemicals, no suspiciously-sourced ingredients and you have total control over what goes into your dog’s body. However, you should still take care to find out exactly what foods should be avoided, and the best place to find that out is by asking your veterinarian.
Along with being free from harmful ingredients, homemade treats can make an ideal training tool, especially when made in smaller sizes.
Homemade treats don’t contain the same amount of preservatives, fats and chemicals that regular store-bought treats contain. This is simply because homemade dog treats don’t have to sit in bags on store shelves for weeks at a time, so homemade treats can contain the freshest and most natural ingredients available. These healthier ingredients do more good for your dog’s digestive system, and they also contribute to healthier hearts, teeth, gums and fur.
When it comes to recipes and ingredients, there is no one-size-fits-all. Dogs of different sizes, breeds and ages require different diets and nutrition, so you may not find something that will be perfect for every dog.
If you want to find out what ingredients and supplements are best for your beagle, boxer, whippet or collie, your best bet is to set up an appointment with your veterinarian to discuss the health and nutritional needs of your specific breed. They will point you in the right direction.
If your dog has been eating store-bought treats its whole life, then it’s wise to introduce these fresh ingredients into their diets slowly. Keep an eye on how your dog reacts to the food, and always make sure that you’ve checked with your vet before feeding your dog anything new. When it comes to fresh ingredients, it’s always best to offer the food in moderation.
Below is a simple recipe to get you started.
• 300g wholemeal flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 250g peanut butter (xylitol free) or banana or pumpkin
• 150ml water
• 1 egg
• 2 tbsp honey
• a little plain flour for dusting
• Preheat the oven to 180c and line 2 or 3 baking trays with parchment paper.
• In a large bowl add the wholemeal flour, baking powder, peanut butter and water and mix well with a spoon. NOTE: Peanut butter can be substituted with Banana or Pumpkin
• Add in the egg and honey and mix again.
• Dust a work surface with a little of the plain flour and roll the dough out to about ¼ inch thick.
• Use a cookie cutter to cut out the shapes and place on the lined trays.
• Collect the scrapes of dough up, roll out and continue to cut out the shapes until all the dough is gone.
• I made 33 cookies from this dough but it will depend on the size and shape of the cutter that you are using.
• Once the trays have been filled bake in the oven for 12-14 minutes until golden brown.
• Allow to cool for a few minutes on the trays before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
These treats can be stored in an airtight container for 3 days or alternatively can be frozen.

💔💔??WHY NOT US??💔💔 Meet Finn (male) and Charlie (female), both 2 years old kitty cats. 💙💜
❤️❤️❤️ WE HAVE NOW BEEN ADOPTED TOGETHER❤️❤️❤️ 💔💔??WHY NOT US??💔💔 Meet Finn (male) and Charlie (female), both 2 years old kitty cats. 💙💜 Finn and Charlie came into the shelter when they were surrendered together due to a deployment in the family. 😔 Even though they came from the same family they are not bonded and could be rehomed separately without issues, but they do enjoy each others (or other cats) company and would love to go to homes with other kitty friends.😻😻 Finn is the super outgoing and cuddly lap cat. Charlie is more reserved and prefers to be loved on at arms length. 🥰 They both love playing with toys🎣, rolling around in the sun☀️ (especially on concrete) and napping the day away💤. Finn and Charlie are so patiently waiting to be whisked away to loving new homes. Could this be you? 😽🤞 Below is their individual PetRescue profiles where you will find more pictures, information and where to apply to adopt ❤️❤️ Finn 💙 https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1040895 Charlie 💜 https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1040892
💔💔WHY NOT ME?💔💔
❤️❤️❤️ADOPTED!!❤️❤️❤️ 💔💔WHY NOT ME?💔💔 Introducing Miss Sierra. Sierra found herself in care back on the 11th November 2023 when she was found nursing a litter of kittens in someone’s yard! They all went into foster care and soon enough all her babies found their own loving homes, yet Sierra is still on the hunt! Sierra loves to play, her favourite is running up and down scratch posts and crash tackling her toys. Sierra loves belly rubs! It’s her absolute favourite. She is also a profession biscuit maker, always busy kneading dough wherever she is. She loves attention so much. Sierra would be happy to share a home with another cat, as long as they can keep up with her! She isn’t 100% sure of dogs, but could possibly live with a cat savvy and respectable pupper. Sierra is the sweetest goofball and is so deserving of her own home to run free and play all day. If you’re looking for a playful cuddly little mate then Sierra is your girl! 😸💋 For more information or to apply for Sierra please follow the link to her profile 👉 https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1012562 💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️💋❤️

❤️❤️❤️SENIOR CATS❤️❤️❤️ We currently have 4 beautiful oldies waiting for their perfect retirement. Ottis is 12 years old. He sadly came into care after his owner passed away. He’s a beautiful boy who needs someone understanding and willing to allow him to settle in his own time. 🧡🧡 https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1023421 Josef is our oldest, at 17 he found himself with us after being found wandering the streets! Although he’s getting on in age and is a bit rickety he is still the cuddliest, sweetest boy ever. 💙💙 https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1021519 ❤️ ADOPTED❤️Mozart is our quiet 10 year old. He originally was brought to us after a relationship breakdown. He’s a sleepy boy, who loves to be held like a baby and get belly rubs. 💜💜https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/1008504 Peanut is our gentle 10 year old lady. She was surrendered after some health problems with her previous owner.

❤️❤️ ADOPTED ❤️❤️ 💔💔WHY NOT ME?!💔💔 I am the beautiful Chief💚 I arrived at the shelter on the 8th of November 2022 when I got lost and my family didn’t come looking for me! I have been in search of my forever family for over 3 months now and in that time I have not had one meet and greet or adoption application 😭😭 I am currently the longest resident🥺 I am the shelters big friendly and gentle giant! I just crave love, cuddles and a family to call my own💕 I am a super smart boy and know how to sit, shake hands, drop and I appear to be housetrained 👨🎓 Being a big boy I can pull VERY strongly on the lead! I am much better walked in a harness and will require an owner who has the strength to hold me💪🏽 Although I am strong initially I tire very quickly. Walks and trips out will need to be kept short and sweet! I would much rather be chilling in the air con😴 When I first arrived at the shelter I was extremely social with other dogs, however since being in a shelter environment for an extended amount of time my behavior towards them has started to deteriorate. Once settled in a home further socialization with other dogs in a controlled environment would be very beneficial for me🐾 I may find cats & pocket pets a little to fun to chase so am recommend to not go to a home with them 🐱🐰🐔🚫 I have been diagnosed with Hip Dysplasia, mild in my right hip and more severe in my left. I do not require medication at this stage but may require pain relief in the future🧑🏻⚕️ I am 5.5 years old and $100 to adopt! I am available for adoption through an application process, if you think that you have space in your heart and home for me (and for more information about me and/or to apply) please follow the link👉🏼 https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/938006?fbclid=IwAR3WU3BuHX8mA0JkPpb-2F9dlfcJuaK7XOlr3Z_hRYn746plH0i0PIZcvuQ 💚💚💚💚💚
🌞☀️🌈ICE BLOCK DAY🌈☀️🌞 At the shelter when it’s too hot to play outside we love to make the kids yummy ice blocks to help keep them cool but also provide a fun activity for them. Not only do they enjoy how delicious they are but they love the task of having to work for the best bits! The bone! We hope you enjoy this insight of how we help keep our dogs cool and busy 🌟🤍
❤️🥳MOO HAS LEFT THE SHELTER ❤️🥳 A huge thank you to everyone who shared her around to help find her perfect family. Finally the day has come! She’s now going to live the best life with her new brother and sister and we could not be happier ❤️❤️

Train me tuesday
❤️❤️ I HAVE NOW BEEN ADOPTED ❤️❤️ 🐶TRAIN ME TUESDAY🐶 Today i did a short training session😁 Did you know that training sessions with us doggos should only be a maxinmum of 15 minutes!😮 how easy is that... 10-15 minutes a day working on our manners means a much more well behaved best friend. Some of us have longer attention spans than others so each session needs to be altered to suit. Here i am working on: -Sit -stay - Not jumping up weather the person is standing or sitting down - walking beside someone instead of cross crossing and jumping up APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR WALLY Please go to the link below for more information and to access the online application form. https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/924309
TRAIN ME TUESDAY🐶
My first ever training session today went extremely well!🌻 Here i am practicing how to: -Sit and shake -high five -Loose lead walk -off lead walk - "touch" (which i grasped within 10 minutes of training! 😮) - Recall and of course i needed belly rubs and a nap on the lounge for all my hard work 😅 I am only 12 months old and have been waiting for my forever home for 90 DAYS now!🥺💔 APPLICATION PROCESS APPLIES FOR MOO Please go to the link below for more information and to access the online application form. https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/918273

SPECIAL HOMES NEEDED
❤️ BOTH NOW ADOPTED ❤️ 💜Mykola and Reo 💜 Mykola and Reo are from seperate litters but were both born with heart murmers. This does not slow them down or phase them in any way as you can see from their cheeky personalities and lovable nature. The ideal home would do an echocardiogram and further testing but they are just as happy going to a home that is willing to love them without further diagnoses knowing they may not make it to old age but have a full and happy life until then. Do you have space in your heart and home for one of these boys?🥰 Mykola - DMH - Male - Black (Grade 5): https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/917391 Reo - DSH - Male - Grey/White (Grade 4): https://www.petrescue.com.au/listings/914975
