Cool off with a colorful, crunchy chop your parrot will love! This summer mix is packed with flavor and benefits. Kale is loaded with calcium and vitamin A for strong bones and glowing feathers, Baby bok choy is gentle on digestion and rich in vitamin C, peppers are crunchy, colorful, full of antioxidants and immune-boosting goodness, and squash is naturally sweet, easy to digest, and packed with beta-carotene. Chop it, mix it, serve it fresh and watch your bird dive in like it’s a summer picnic!

GA PSA: Recognizing that today is World Zoonosis day, we want to remind you that the Avian Flu is still active in our state and is considered a zoonotic disease.

Avian Flu and Zoonotic Transmission: Avian influenza viruses, especially certain strains like H5N1, can transmit from infected birds (domestic or wild) and other animals to humans.

How it Spreads: This transmission typically occurs through direct or indirect contact with infected animals, their secretions (like saliva, mucous, and f***s), or contaminated environments. For example, people who work with poultry or dairy cattle are at a higher risk of exposure.

Parrots with PTSD? It’s more common than you think

Trauma isn’t just a human experience. Parrots who’ve been neglected, abused, or passed from home to home often carry emotional scars that can last a lifetime.
PTSD in humans is marked by hypervigilance, avoidance, and strong reactions to triggers. We’ve seen parrots freeze in fear, scream at common objects, or lash out unexpectedly, all because of trauma. These birds aren’t “mean.” They’re survivors.

At Papayago, we take the time to understand each bird’s past as much as we can, build trust slowly, and offer trauma-informed care. We started the Fear Free journey a couple of years ago, and we incorporate those methods of reducing fear into our meet & greets and adoption homecomings. We continue working on incorporating it into the medical visits, crating, and grooming. Healing is possible with patience, safety, and love for some. Other birds will need the support of other birds in a sanctuary setting since they have lost trust in humans.

It's international joke day, and this one's for the birds.
Knock, Knock, Who's there? Hibiscus. Hibiscus who? Hibiscus for you!

Want to make your parrot’s chop pop? Add some hibiscus flower—a tasty, tangy twist with real health perks! Rich in antioxidants, supports heart health, and adds vibrant color and a floral zing! Parrots love the bold flavor and the fun of foraging through those crinkly petals. Use dried, organic hibiscus (no additives!), and mix it into chop for a nutritious splash of color.

Just don't let them tell anymore knock, knock jokes.
