Here's an excellent short video that explains why pet food needs to have supplements to achieve optimal nutrition.

In this second video on processed pet food, we're going to look at natural vs synthetic nutrients. What are the benefits and negatives of each? Can synthetic...

Valentine's day is coming up. So here's an idea you could gift to your bestie who has a bird. Or gift one to your own bird! Only a few available. 🦜💜

Ringneck owners: ‘Man, birds can be hard work.’

Cockatiel owners: ‘I dunno, it really doesn’t seem that hard, my cockatiel’s a sweetheart.’ *coughs in bird fancier’s lung*

African Grey owners: ‘…I think my bird is trying to collect my credit card details and place an order on Amazon. I’m typing because he can understand my spoken words and I don’t want him to know I’m on to him. I’m also typing in the bathroom so he can’t read this over my shoulder.’

Cockatoo owners: ‘WHAT? I CAN’T HEAR YOU’

Conure owners: ‘Can I bulk order band aids/plasters’

Lorikeet owners: *google searches* ‘How to remove pressurised liquid s**t cement from different surfaces’

Macaw owners: ‘Yo, anyone know how I can friend zone my bird without hurting his feelings? I feel like the walnuts are only gonna distract him for so long before he expects me to start laying eggs.’

Eclectus owners: ‘Honey, don’t forget to pick up the bird’s $80 worth of fresh fruit and veg from the supermarket on the way home tonight! And again tomorrow!’

Eclectus hen owners: ’Hello, 911? Oh hi Jerry! Yeah, send help, she’s got that look on her face and I’m gonna be bleeding out on the floor in about 3 minutes. Yup, door’s unlocked, wear riot gear. See you soon!’

Budgie owners: ‘Is my budgie ok? He hasn’t been acting like a cracked out toddler this morning and the stream of constant, ceaseless chatter had a pause for a while. I also saw him sitting still for a second. Is he sick?’

Ha Bert at Topflite is so cute! "I am always on hand to check his keyboard for loose bits. I often work overtime from home, checking seed until it’s time for bed. I’m very dedicated." 🥰

Wow, check out this fun new feeder for wild birds - and once it's finished, you can keep the shell and re-use it with other food. It also smells amazing with the limited edition cherry flavour (keep away from humans as it's for wild birds only!).

Just finished counting birds in our garden - got 13 sparrows (all at once), 1 seagull, 5 starlings, 1 tui, 2 blackbirds, and 5 pigeons flying past. What is living in your garden? It was really great to just sit quietly for an hour and listen to all the sounds.

Get out into your garden, count the birds, and build a build a picture of the state of our environment by taking part in the NZ Garden Bird Survey.

Our new friends at TOP's Parrot Food made a fun little video showing us how excited they were to send products to New Zealand. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!🦜

TOP's Parrot Food pellets are now available at Parrot Treats in New Zealand.

Skaaaaaarrrrrk! It's World Parrot Day, so let's make today all about me and my kākāpō whānau! 💚

It's been a big year for us kākāpō. While I've been relaxing, living my best island life, my whānau (family) have been hard at work raising 55 chicks. This brings our population up to 248 individuals, the highest it's been in almost 50 years. BOOM!

This wouldn't be possible without the help of my friends at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu and Meridian Energy, the national partners of Kākāpō Recovery.

Just finished loading some new toys to the store - some of these were supposed to be just in time for Valentine's but New Zealand weather had other ideas, which meant I had no time to upload them and you probably did not have time or capacity to do any shopping anyway. Hope you and your loved ones are safe and well now. New products are available at https://parrottreats.co.nz/collections/new

Harrison's is back in stock. Just finished unpacking 400 kg off the truck. Oof, hot work! All the lines are now available. And we now have the new bird bread! This has chia, quinoa, and flax, and can be baked or made into non-bake dough balls. 😋

You will notice that the prices have gone up, this is due to the manufacturer increasing prices, as well as the increased costs of shipping worldwide. I have absorbed some of these increases.

More new toys in store today, based on the results of our previous test - we've restocked all the popular items that quickly sold out last time. One completely new addition this time is a Rocket Piñata - larger than all our other piñata toys. Also a throwback to a toy we last had in 2019 - Nature Cluster. This is a rather big, very heavy toy, full of shells and wooden pieces; for the destroyers 🦜🦖

Just in time for summer, we have treats for ducks and treats for chickens! If you're out and about and feeding ducks, take some of these treats and please don't feed bread to ducks as it can pollute their water and make them sick. 😋🦆🐔🐥🐣🐤🐓🦜

We also have new tonic and canary/finch bells. See all new products here: https://parrottreats.co.nz/collections/new

Watch this kea solve puzzles. Parrots are very smart and need a lot of toys and challenges to keep them occupied 🦜🥰

Here’s a good idea. Also useful to repurpose all left over parts from used up toys.

Foraging Made Easy: Prepare homemade foraging toys in advance. Dedicate a small amount of time once per week to make toys out of saved boxes and safe items that you have saved throughout the week. This can be done while watching a TV show or relaxing with some music! By preparing items in advance, your bird will have fun new foraging opportunities available all week long.
