Yes, I admit I am reusing the photo from a couple of days ago. But I had so much fun taking that photo and I wanted to tell you that there is a new fun video up on the YouTube channel. It feels like the first time in awhile that I have filmed something fun, I hope you have as much fun watching it as I had filming it.

Great news! Our coronavirus tests have come back negative today!
Lucy is keeping me company as I still do not feel 100%, but we are so happy to be negative for the virus.
Lucy is enduring a terrible Molt We are aware of her feathers and if they do not improve soon she will be taken to the vet. However we are confident at this time that this is just an extremely bad moult.
I have also filmed a small update to that video.

Oh my gosh I can’t believe this! I’m a bit stunned. As you may be able to see from the photo, I have tested positive for coronavirus. 😱 sadly this may not come as a surprise to anybody who has seen my latest YouTube videos.

I am devastated. There is a video on the Orkney Parrots YouTube channel that explains everything better than I feel able to right now. I really hoped that this day would never come and I certainly never envisioned anything where I would attempt to call out a huge organisation on social media.

Belated happy hatch day Lucy. Also I have a question for all of you.

I’m sure I must sound a bit distracted though.
Oh and please note this is not my office space.

Hi everybody, I would just like to apologise for my recent absence. My guide dog Barney was taken unwell and required surgery. His body suit will be removed for the final time today. His stitches have now been removed and he appears to be making a slow, but good recovery. If you have not received a dispatch notification recently, I would like you to know that I will be caught up on orders by the end of today. They will all be posted tomorrow morning.

I have sneaked out for a treat 😋 I wanted to ask if people could leave their suggestions for a new recipe in the comments. Also please feel free to entertain us with the treats you sneak out for too.

Happy New Year from Orkney Parrots. Today I am going to be packing orders (received over the Christmas period) while being tapped up away from the elements.

Did you know that Orkney Parrots sells foraging toys? I have been in talks with tornado Scot and we have come up with a promotion idea I love! 😍 starting from now any order of any of the mixes that is placed between now and the 10th of January will include a free toy for your parrot to try. 👏 while stocks last.

What are your parrots having for breakfast today? This is what my three ladies are currently enjoying. The ingredients are little gem lettuce, oregano, carrot, baby corn, courgette and bell pepper. These are all ingredients that can be found in many of my mixes. Today I am going to be packing your orders that I have received during the sale.

It’s not too late to grab a bargain as this is the last day for pecking one up.

Christmas has arrived at the Orkney Parrots house as well as a sale.

30/11/2021

Update on the technical problems. I am really pleased to let everybody know that I now have a new printer (purchased from a local business) which has been set up today. Things will get back on track tomorrow and any order that has been delayed should be posted by Friday at the latest.

Yellow pepper, carrot and lettuce: these are just some of the things that my own three parrots enjoyed for lunch. 😋 you can find all of these vegetables and more in my original mix.

I don’t suppose Barney read the Guide Dogs handbook. 🤣 who do you think causes more mischief, the parrots or my guide dog?

12/10/2021

Just waiting for lots of these to dry. 😋 they appear in so many of my recipes.

11/10/2021

These peppers are destined for the next batch of the bird nerd Sophie mix. I am also just putting the finishing touches to the current batch of the soaring wings flock mix too.

08/10/2021

I don't know what affect I have applied to this, but this is some of the kale for the Soaring wings flock mix. 😋 yum yum

08/10/2021

And here is what gives the soaring wings flock mix its unique minty aroma and flavour. If you're feathered friend is mad about mint, this is a mix they will love to try.

08/10/2021

Violas anyone? Today I am continuing to work on the latest batch of the soaring wings flock mix. If you do not already follow them, I would definitely recommend checking out their Instagram and other social media channels. If you would like to pick up some of this latest mix (containing these edible flowers) please follow the product tags too place your order on orkneyparrots.com 😋 The flowers in this photo have been sourced from a specialist for the purpose of eating. If you would like to include edible flowers in your parrot’s diet please make sure they are free from pesticides and have been growing for the purpose of being eaten.

Good morning!
I just wanted to jump on here quickly and give you an update about what has been happening.
I have had a small backlog of orders. However I am taking the last of these to the post office this morning.
This was partially caused bye a batch of vegetables not turning out in the way I hoped for.
However I have now takin steps to streamline things and hopefully this will not happen again.
