Good Morning Everyone.

I wanted to take a minute and talk about some things....

Yall know the past 2 Years kicked my butt, with back surgeries, the move etc. But Thanks to yall I've gotten through it! Thank You ❤️

For the 1st time in 8 Years I took time off! How is it going? Well I've been sick the whole time and only got a handful of things done that I wanted to 😔 But it has gave me time to Think about things....

Some have noticed that I've Not been myself lately. Well it's due to some Bullies/stalkers. It's been so bad I thought about giving up my dreams. But I knew going into this (Breeding) I would have people against me and I understand that, breeding can be done wrong but it can also be done correctly, and we go above and beyond to make sure we do everything correctly. Why has this bothered me so much? Some of the Bullies and people spreading these ridiculous lies were what I thought were friends. I've come to realize if they are going to believe those people making up and spreading the lies than they truly were never my friend. If you hear something, come to me and ask I'll be honest.

When I started my Shop 8 Year's Ago I wanted to be Different. I wanted to Educate. I wanted to Rescue. I wanted to sale only products we believe in. I wanted to teach people about these Amazing Creatures!!! And that is Exactly what I'm doing and that is Exactly what I'm going to continue to do.

Mean people are trying to take this from me, guess what I'm not going to let them!

It was Announced the Other day all the Winners of This Years Reader's Choice Awards....and We Won Pet Store of the Year!! (Due to Bullies I took the post down almost immediately and never got to celebrate)

Well I'm Freaking Excited Yall!! We Won!

Thank You for Voting for us!! And Congratulations to All the Other Winners and Those Nominated!

Stay tuned I think I'll be doing some Specials next week in order to Celebrate our win!

Not only are they friendly, they are very knowledgeable and helpful

So why do you really want a parrot?

Sometimes you come across a video of a cockatoo dancing or cuddling, sometimes it's a video of an African grey with amazing talking skills, and sometimes it's a macaw with its beautiful colours.....

And then you think..... I want a talking parrot or a cuddly parrot BUT this is a tiny clip of that actual parrot's life. Do you really know what it takes to keep that parrot happy?

Parrots are wild animals and before you consider even welcoming a parrot into your family these are just some points you need to consider...

1. Time, how much time do you have to give a parrot? Some parrots have the intelligence of a child, would you leave a child to its own devices locked in a cage all day?

2. Space, parrots need a lot of space. The bigger the better! The cage needs to be big enough that he/she can stretch their wings out and still have room. Cages are expensive! They need space to fly and climb. Lack of exercise can cause bone growth issues.

3. Exercise and mental stimulation. As already said they need exercise daily but also mental stimulation, foraging, games, toys and time with their humans. If it's not enough, it can lead to behavioural issues, biting, screaming, destruction of your home, feather plucking and even self-mutilation.

4. Diet. You see that parrot food in the pet shop and think gosh that is cheap? That cheap parrot food is full of sunflower seeds - and those peanuts are slowly killing your parrot. Fatty liver disease and, if very unlucky, aspergillosis. Aspergillosis, an infection of a parrot's respiratory air sacs, is very very expensive to treat and often fatal. Have other parrots too? It will spread to them too! A good diet costs money and time to prepare fresh fruit and vegetables but is necessary for your parrot to live a long and healthy life and avoid the vet bills.

5. Not all parrots will like your whole family. They might only bond with one person - that means the rest of the family isn't allowed to feed them, clean them, or go anywhere near them. This is very common in African greys.

6. Parrots are wild animals, they bite! Even the tamest of them can bite. Be prepared to still live with them.

7. Vet care. Parrots need specialised vet care, not your general vet that treats your cat or dog. They need an AVIAN vet. These are limited, make sure you can get your parrot to one when needed, and they are expensive.

8. Noise. Parrots make noise ALL day, noise level depends on species but have you heard the noise of a screaming cockatoo or macaw? Have a look on YouTube - could your neighbours handle the noise too?

9. Mess. Oh boy the mess!!! Parrots chew, shred their cage paper, toys, throw their food all the time and are p**p machines! Can you handle this?

10. Do you love your scented candles? Your lovely smelling cleaning products? Perfumes? Get rid of them, they are toxic to parrots.

11. Parrots are a lifelong commitment they can live 70+ years so they are exactly that!

Do you still want a parrot? Please do your research and not a cute video on YouTube!

08/01/2024

I've debated on posting this but

Please do Research before bringing in a bird, lots of Research!

WE HAVE TO DO BETTER!!!

We have to Feed them Better, we have to give them Toys, The Correct Perchs, The Correct Cage, etc.

You CAN NOT give them an All Seed Diet.

Why?

Fatty Liver Disease

Symptoms of liver disease in parrots include:

Lethargy and depression
Loss of appetite
Diarrhea
Green urates or droppings
Difficulty breathing
Swollen abdomen
Itchy skin
Obesity
Poor feather quality
Jaundice, or yellowing of the skin

Not Only Fatty Liver An all-seed diet can contribute to malnutrition, obesity, heart disease, and other health problems.

Seeds are high in fat and calories, and lack many essential nutrients that parrots need. For example, sunflower seeds contain 49% fat, which is three times more than the average chocolate bar. Parrots can also become "seed junkies" and be difficult to wean off of seeds because they taste good.

A healthier diet for parrots is a formulated diet designed specifically for them, supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables. You can also include some seeds in your parrot's diet, such as millet or coriander seeds, which can provide beneficial nutrients. Millet is high in fiber and contains B vitamins, magnesium, and phosphorus. Coriander seeds can help with digestion.

Yes I post about this Alot and I Will Continue to Post!

When you do Rescue work and see these Gorgeous Sweet Smart Souls treated the way some are, it's heart breaking. We take them in, give them the love, diet they need, we fall in love but sometimes its too late. All we can do is Love them ❤️ 💔 😢 😭

There is Absolutely No Excuse for this. We have so many options out there to learn. Google/pages/Books/YouTube.

Please Do Better or Don't Get Them.

We are Currently Hand Feeding this Male Eclectus. He will be weaned onto Zupreem Natural Pellets, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.

He will be Ready for a Loving Forever Pet Home in 10-12 weeks.

Must have Parrot Experience!

Charming, eye-catching, and intelligent, eclectus parrots are captivating birds that make impressive pets. Their beautiful colors, talking ability, and lovable personalities have established this bird as one of the most popular pet parrots. This bird is one of the larger parrot species, and it does require the right owner with plenty of time and space to house this bird.

The eclectus is a very friendly and intelligent bird species described as gentle, tranquil, and caring. Eclectus parrots are also affectionate but are not very cuddly. Most thrive best when socialization is part of their daily routine.1 They cherish the time they spend interacting with their families. They are also sensitive and can quickly become stressed if they feel neglected.

Eclectus parrots join Amazons and African greys as being one of the best species for training to speak. They are quick to learn almost anything you want to teach them. Many people find them to be on the quieter side when compared to other parrots. They have a distinctive honk and other vocalizations that can be amusing the first few times, but loud and startling.

This species can be a good fit for households with children as they have a gentle nature. However, they don't like to be startled and prefer a calm environment. They are not big fans of constant loud noises like barking, crying, or screaming. Thus, it's essential to consider if your family dynamic is a good match for the bird.

An eclectus is unique in that these birds sometimes exhibit toe-tapping and wing-flipping. This behavior is similar to feather plucking, which is a common issue with parrots that feel neglected. However, when all three of these actions occur in an eclectus, it can be a sign of a severe health issue. Probable causes include stress and nutritional deficiencies caused by excess vitamins and minerals (like vitamin A), fortified foods, or artificial ingredients as well as eating foreign objects like beads. It's vital to see an avian vet right away.

The eclectus has a specialized digestive tract that is different from many other bird species. This bird needs to be fed a diet high in fiber and low in fat. It's also best to avoid too many vitamin and mineral supplements, which could lead to digestive tumors or abnormal behavior.

WARNING
Avoid feeding parrot mixes that contain artificial dyes, flavorings, or preservatives. These additives could cause your pet to lose their beautiful color and may even be toxic for this sensitive species.

An eclectus' daily meal should be about 80 percent fruits and vegetables—the rest can be parrot pellets. Give seeds and nuts as occasional treats.

Pros

Social, affectionate, and loves attention

Intelligent and a great talking parrot

Quieter parrot than the other talking species

Cons

Needs an aviary or large cage to thrive- Atleast 3 Feet Wide!

Does not like chaotic environments or constant loud sounds

Not a cuddly bird

‼️CHOP‼️

What is Chop?

We have alot of New Bird Parents and we have Alot of Amazing Followers who love to learn more about the care of their Babies so I'm going to continue posting Helpful Info!

You might have heard people talking about chop. It's a super healthy, fun way for birds to explore new foods or enjoy thier all time favorites.

Parrots are highly intelligent creatures. Just like people, they tend to love variety in their foods with taste, color and shape. Even the pickiest parrot can find joy in chop

Chop is a healthy, well-balanced meal for parrots that's made up of finely chopped fruits, vegetables, grains, legumes, nuts, and healthy seeds like Flax, H**p, or Chia. It can help parrots explore new foods and can be made fresh daily or frozen for later use.

A good diet will help reduce your vet visits from diet related illnesses, and will give your bird the chance to live out it's full life.

The one complaint we hear the most is "my bird is too stubborn and can't be converted!" This is simply not true. It has to be done correctly, but it is actually fairly simple. The keys are the ingredients you use and your method. Also, if there is a seed bar hanging in your cage or a bowl of plain seed, your bird will always choose the seed first. Dry seed is the equivalent to fast food for humans. It's both tasty and really bad for you. Most people, when given the choice between fries and a salad, will choose the fries. It's the same with our birds.

When converting to a healthy diet, we actually work on converting to pellets first. Once, a bird is converted to pellets, work on teaching them to eat their chop. One bonus, aside from an all around healthier bird, is birds on a chop and pellet diet will then see seed as a high reward. You can then use a very small amount of seed each day to help with taming or training a very shy bird or add to a foraging tray or a foraging toy.

Tips that we have found for making chop

Cooked quinoa and healthy seeds gets even the pickiest eaters to try chop.

Be sure to cool your cooked items thoroughly. Run under cold water till completely cool.

Beetroot is a favourite

Dried beans should always be either rehydrated and fully cooked and cooled or sprout them

Never use canned fruit or vegetables. Fresh or Frozen is best.

Use raw unsalted nuts and seeds

Foods to avoid: avocado (kills), garlic, onion, tomato stems and leaves, mushrooms, fruit pits and apple seeds, rhubarb, salted nuts or salted seeds, uncooked dried beans

Little to no nutritional value: iceburg lettuce and white potato

Always wash your Fruits and Vegetables

We Also Make this Fresh Weekly and Sale in our Shop. The Chop we Sale is also the same Chop our Bird's and Babies eat Daily!!

Molting....

What is Molting?

Just as mammals shed their fur and reptiles change their skin, so do birds molt their feathers. Yet, for some reason, people are often surprised and even freaked out when they see a molting bird.

There are even plenty of cases where new bird owners try to return their bird or bring her to a vet because of her simply molting. And while this is definitely ill-advised, it’s also kind of understandable – bird molting isn’t talked about as much as fur shedding or reptiles’ change of skin and as a result, some new bird owners get caught by surprise. There is nothing to be freaked out about, however – bird molting is completely natural and harmless and all birds do it.

Molting is an annual exchange of feathers, out with the old and in with the new, typically following breeding season. Feathers are replaced year round, as you might have noticed when a clipped flight feather magically becomes whole again, but the big molt will follow breeding season. As usual, nature has things well under control. Because both egg and feather production take so many nutrients from the hen’s body, they won’t occur at the same time so as not to be too depleting. There are many birds that line their nests with feathers molted after the eggs are laid and prior to hatching. It’s a good system.

As feathers regrow, they poke through the skin as a prickly little stubs covered in a keratin sheath. These are known as pin feathers and are uncomfortable to the bird if they are bumped or pinched. My umbrella cockatoo’s head is currently covered with them and I try to use a gentle touch during cuddle time. He lets me know if I have been careless. Yours will too. Some birds get a little moody during this new growth period, but it is short lived and generally mild.

You will notice that there is a blood supply at the base of the new feather. This blood supply delivers the nutrients needed for the continued growth of that feather, and recedes as soon as the feather is fully developed. If yours is a un-mated bird, you will have to preen the areas that he can’t reach, such as the head and parts of the neck, by removing the sheathing around the new feathers. This can be a great bonding experience between you and your parrot.

During this time, a diet rich in vitamin A and calcium is a good way to help him with feather production. Orange vegetables like sweet potato and carrots and scrambled eggs, shell and all, are good sources of calcium. Frequent bathing and misting will help keep the irritating itching to a minimum.

Stress, injury, illness and poor nutrition can interfere with, or prevent, your birds molting process. My umbrella cockatoo missed an entire molt last summer following an illness. Many of his feathers were raggedy and worn looking by the time he replaced them this year. Check to see that the new feathers have grown in without abnormalities in color, markings and condition.

Some cool feather and molting facts:

When a bird molts a wing feather, he will automatically molt the corresponding feather on the other wing to provide a balance and stability during flight.

Feathers comprise 10% of a bird’s body weight and they weight 3 times as much as their skeleton.

Even a small bird like the parakeet has between 2000 and 3000 feathers on its body.

Small birds can have their first molt weeks after fledging, while larger birds might not molt until 9 or 10 months of age.

Omg Look at these 2 Babies!!

These Double Yellow-headed Amazons are getting so Big!!!

We are Taking Deposits to Hold Now. They will be Ready for Loving Forever Pet Homes in about 8 weeks. They will be weaned onto Zupreem Natural Pellets, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.

There’s nothing shy about a double yellow-headed Amazon parrot. These birds are talkative, boisterous and inclined to burst out in song. Males are known for doing what is best described as a mach strut — tail feathers flared out, sliding across the floor while making shrilling sounds.

Personality isn’t a problem for the double yellow-headed Amazon parrot — it has character to spare. This Amazon talks well and is quick to perform antics that will delight its owners.

Destructive behavior can also be a problem with Amazons, who will gladly chew the furniture instead of toys. Supervision is essential to keeping this bird safe and the house intact. The DYH can live up to 80 years of age, and needs an owner who understands the responsibility of caring for a bird with this lifespan. On the positive side, this bird is highly trainable and wants to please its human companions

All in all, the double-yellow headed Amazon makes a great companion for the person who understands its needs and who is willing to accept it as it is — a charming, hardy, talkative, noisy, oftentimes moody bird who is at once independent and intensely attached to its human friends.

Black-capped conures make beautiful, fun-loving pets. While they do require a great deal of attention from their owners, they always seem to reward human efforts with their hilarious antics. They enjoy interacting with their owners and crave daily playtime and attention. These birds will become easy-going and friendly with family members but can remain a bit shy with strangers.

Conures do best in a household that is active and bustling, as the activity keeps them interested and stimulated. If you are interested in a black-capped conure, make sure you have plenty of time to socialize and interact with the bird.

Green Cheek Conures are known for their curiosity, s***k, and playful nature are great characteristics in a pet bird. Mischievous and engaging, green-cheeked conures pack a lot of personality into a small package. The fact that they are less noisy than most other parrots—and more affordable—adds to their appeal.

Green-cheeked conures are popular pet birds. They are affectionate and playful and thrive on time spent socializing with their owners. These birds like to be held. Like all birds, green-cheeked conures can be nippy and uncooperative at times, but as a general rule, they are among the most easygoing of the conure species.

We have this Gorgeous and Goofy Female White Belly Caique Available!!

She is weaned onto Zupreem Natural Pellets, Fresh Fruits and Vegetables.

$2000

Must have Parrot Experience!!

While African Greys are prized for their intelligence and Amazon Parrots for their love of the spotlight, caiques are perhaps most known for their mischievous and playful demeanors. They are notorious troublemakers and are very energetic and curious. In the wild they are known for their climbing abilities, and the same is true as pets. A common nickname for caiques is the “dancing parrot” because of their propensity for hopping and climbing. They are also adept at learning tricks.

Caiques have a lot of energy, and there is never a dull moment when they are around, so they are a great fit for owners who are willing to deal with birds with strong personalities but who also know how to have fun. While they are not as known for their talking or mimicking abilities as many other types of parrots, they are able to produce high-pitched calls, and can even be taught to whistle.

Caiques are considered one of the most intelligent bird species

Caiques are known for the strong bonds that they can form with humans. They love attention. They can be quite affectionate and enjoy time playing with a human companion or just sitting with them. If you're looking for a new best friend, this may be the species for you.

These birds can also become cranky at times and can nip or, in the least, find ways to use their beak when interacting with people.

Since they are intelligent, they also make pretty good escape artists. Ensure their cage is sturdy and can keep these crafty birds safe. A wrought-iron cage is best since they often try to chew the bars.

They are very active and will needs lots of toys and room to play!!

Caiques are active little birds and are unique in that they seem to prefer to walk more often than fly. Caiques enjoy floor time and you will enjoy watching them on the floor or any large flat surface. They have a unique hop that is charming and endearing. They appear to be a windup tin toy that hops along in a very amusing way.

Pros

Social and affectionate

Can mimic sounds, perform tricks, and dance

Cons

Not a great talker

Does not get along with other bird species

07/04/2024

PLEASE STOP USING DOWEL RODS!!!
(The perchs that come with cages)

I'm going to continue posting this monthly!

Do your feathered friends a big favour and make sure they have natural wood perches.

Straight dowelling perches that come as standard with cages, are very damaging to their wee feet over time leaving our birds with very painful twisted feet or toes.

Perches don't need to be expensive, you can get them for free from many trees and your bird will have great fun stripping and chewing the bark too!

A list of safe woods to use for perches can be found on our Page.

Another Amazing Field Trip!!!
Look at These Smiles ❤️
Thank You to David, Alicia, Karen and Analiese for Helping I truly appreciate you all ❤️

06/01/2024

Cage Size!!

Always make sure your cage is atleast 1.5 times your birds Wingspan. Bigger is always better.

This is important because a bird should be able to totally extend its wings (in the cage) and flap them vigorously for exercise. Remember, however, that the more perches, toys, food stations, etc. placed in the cage, the less space is available for adequate wing exercise.

Larger cages and enclosures are better than small ones. For birds that are out of the cage most of the day, 1 ½ times the parrot’s full adult wingspan is the minimum enclosure size. For those birds that spend considerable time in their cages, 2 times the parrot’s full adult wingspan is recommended. Ideally pet birds should be encouraged to spend time out of their cage, not only for exercise but for social interaction with humans and other birds. However, spending significant amounts of time outside the cage does not justify smaller housing.

In the wild, parrots find security from threatening situations by flying away or moving to the top of nearby trees. In captivity, birds will also try to move up and away when scared. Unrestrained pets will try to get to one’s shoulder or head or fly up on curtain rods, ceiling beams, etc. Caged birds will move to the furthest part of the enclosure and/or fly panicky back and forth looking for a way of escape. Small cages do not provide security. Studies have shown that when presented with larger enclosures, even though the birds may be fearful at first, they eventually acclimate and prefer the addition of added space.

Regrettably, many birds live for years in the deprived environment of a small cage. They may become fearful and phobic; some may not even venture out of their cage, even if it’s left open. It can be a sad, depressing life for these birds and we wonder why they develop abnormal behaviors such as feather picking, screaming, and biting.
