🌿 Warmer Weather = More Lost Birds! 🚨

As the seasons change and we start opening windows and doors to let in the fresh air, it’s also the time of year when we see an increase in the number lost parrots and companion birds. A split-second moment—an unexpected gust of wind, a startled bird, or a door left ajar—can lead to heartbreak.

🐦 How to Keep Your Birds Safe:
✔️ Always check doors and windows before opening them. Even screened windows can pop loose!
✔️ Always use a harness or a secure travel cage when taking them outside.
✔️ Make sure all family members are aware of the risks—a distracted moment can be all it takes.
✔️ Even if your bird has had a flight feather trim, remember that a light bird + a strong breeze = unexpected lift-off.

Let’s keep our feathered companions safe this season! 🦜❤️

This is what goes on when we have feathered friends at our weekly adoption committee meetings! No longer quiet, eager to express their opinions, Hannigan and Ricky Roo have plenty to say about what goes on. They make sure we all have a good laugh and end our meeting with smiles.

A brief snippet from our recent chop workshop!🫛Look at that gorgeous, nutritious produce! We had a blast with this group of enthusiastic learners, as we dove into all things diet and nutrition. We are strong believers that being a lifelong learner is a great gift to give any companion animal in one's care! A strong diet forms a firm foundation for our birds to thrive. Thank you to all who attended the workshop 🔪🥕

Remember bobbing for apples as a kid? It was fun to splash around, make a mess, and get a treat. Birds can play this same game with various food items. Offering treats in a bowl of water can encourage drinking, provide mental stimulation, and be a novel way to introduce new food items. (Association of Exotic Companion Mammals- this is a fun game for rats, too!)

Eba is home! Lynne previously adopted Chiquita the cockatiel from us and reached out interested in adopting Eba, who's a 25-year-old Eclectus. She was specifically interested in adopting a senior bird like Eba who might be overlooked by other adopters. Lynne tells us that he loves to just hang out with her and just be perfect 🥰.
