Hi Everyone

Today we have learned of the passing of Sally Blanchard. Through my eyes, and to all that know of her amazing work, a pioneering icon of the parrot world. An absolute legend and a devastating loss that will be felt by so many.

Personally I (Ginny) have shed a few tears on hearing and reading this news. I recall the pleasure of hearing Sally speak about parrot behaviour at an event in the UK around 20 years ago when my Black Headed Caique was in full 'terrible two's mode'. Moreover, I had the privilege of sitting with her over lunch and exchanging stories about her Black Headed Caique, Spikey, and my own Ollie, who was presenting me with some challenging Caique behaviours at the time. I distinctly remember waggling my freshly plastered finger at Sally and telling her wryly that the concept of 'show no fear of your bird's beak' (something I read in her book) had resulted in my ravaged finger. Inevitably, as we unravelled the scenario leading to my ravaging, it very quickly became apparent that the fault was entirely mine for not reading the signals and not adapting my own behaviour. All that said, Sally did concede that Black Headed Caique's in particular, don't necessarily follow the rule book therefore I should prepare myself for a rollercoaster ride!

We still have Sally's books on the shelf, we still reference them and recommend them.

What a dedicated, talented and beautiful person. What a devastating loss to the bird loving community and to her friends and family.

We salute you Sally. Fly high with Spikey and Bongo Marie and with every other soul you have touched.

Ginny & Kim

We thought we would start introducing you to our little flock by starting with Jim (aka Jimmy Choo / Jemima / Tatty) the Senegal!

Jim is a rescue bird that we adopted in 2010. It was believed he was 6yrs old which would make him around 18yrs now. He was very loved by his previous owner but they were no longer able to look after him due to a change of job. He came with lots of toys and a bag of Harrisons. Jim is bonded to me (Kim) although loves Ginny in his macabre way.

One Christmas he became unwell and he pulled out most of his feathers overnight. He was rushed to our avian vet where he underwent a series of tests and scans and eventually diagnosed with a non-identifiable neurological problem. It was during these scans that we also found out that Jim was a girl!

Jim was prescribed a series of medications that I had to learn how to administer with minimal stress for both of us... without losing any digits!

Sadly Jim has never retained his beautiful feathering as he continues to mutilate it in cycles. One minute he looks very handsome with lots of yellow, orange and green starting to show through and then, just as we start to get excited, he strips himself down to
his fluffy pyjamas again – hence Ginny’s nickname, Tatty! As a result of his feather mutilation, he can no longer fly although this doesn’t hamper him in the slightest as he scampers round his room on a series of ropes and platforms, often managing to beat Ollie and Scottie into the aviary to steal all the treats.

Jim loves his food and is a very healthy eater. He loves foraging in tubes and boxes although his favourite hobby is trying different ways to get close to Ginny to stop her giving attention to anyone else. Jimmy particularly enjoys cuddles every night with Mummy before bed.

The chop consists of: Basil, grated carrot, grated courgette, tomato flesh, coconut, pomegranate, celery, sweetcorn, cucumber, radish, passion fruit, sweet potato, butternut squash, peas, sprouted alfalfa, sprouted broccoli and a sprinkle of our Just Organic Shoots!

Why are our activated walnuts good for your bird? 🦜

1. Raw nuts contain natural enzyme inhibitors to prevent them from sprouting in dry, unsuitable conditions. Unfortunately, these natural inhibitors also prevent the nut from fully releasing their nutrients. The process of soaking or ‘activating’ breaks down the enzyme inhibitors, following which, all the nutrients are then properly released, delivering a boost of vitamins and minerals when consumed.

2. The same enzyme inhibitors that prevent the release of the nutrients can also make the nuts less digestible than those that have been 'activated'.

3. Activated nuts taste better. Once activated, the nuts lose any bitterness and chalky texture and are left light, crunchy and naturally sweet.

Head over to our shop today to find out more!

We recently received a lovely review from one of our customers, Caroline:

“My caique loves his parrot tea & the organic shoots & forage mix. It’s so difficult to find healthy, balanced parrot food that’s easy to serve, so this makes my life easier as well as my boyo happy. Great delivery service too.”
