Merry Christmas everyone. Keep safe and rest well.
Liefie loving our jacobiez pellets.
We gave the owner a sample pack and she didn't even take a second to eat it when placed in the cage.
What cab we say, parrots know good food when they see it.
We are so thrilled liefie loves the new jacobiez no corn, no wheat, no soya pellets.
A well balanced and nutritious meal for every day use.

Are our toys suited for larger beaks?
The answer is absolutely. Although we use thin slices of raw pine , larger beaks also tend to enjoy softer wood that is easy to chew and destroy.
Obviously, you need also to offer harder and larger pieces of wood for that beak maintenance but our thin slices of wood shred to the very last piece which makes it that much more fun and enjoyable for your feathered babies.
Look at Dutchie our resident parrot, he's favourite thing to chew on is our thin slices of wood. He takes he's sweet time to chew off every little last piece and enjoys every minute of it.
Are our toys suitable for larger parrots?
YES.
Will they be destroyed?
ABSOLUTELY
BUT, after all that's what toys are made for, no?
To all clients wondering whether our toys are suitable. Just cause your parrot is big it doesn't mean they don't like it small.
Have a great end of week everyone.

We can't get enough of how incredibly cute and determined little Alex is. Thank you so much for the share.
We love to see your videos and photos of your feathered ones having the time of their lives.

World of birds ~
Order ready to be dropped off tomorrow by World of Birds - Official Site.
They stock both our toys but also some very affordable toys made especially by us that visitors to the park can purchase and donate to the parks birds. How amazing is that.
Enrichment is so important. This is a great initiative from world of birds. Although they do provide toys to the parks birds as often as they can, visitors can now also donate to their favourite parrot and help enrich a parrots life. I'm sure most of you are aware that most of the parrots there were surrendered by people who could no longer look after or want their parrots. World of birds kindly opened their hearts and home to them so why not help them by spoiling a parrot on your next visit.
Why not make a day of it.

#parrotboarding #freebirds #freeparrots
At jacobiez pet boarding we take on a small amount of animals at a time so that each animal is integrated into our flock and daily routines rather than simply being fed and cages cleaned.
All parrots have as much outside cage time as possible even if they are not tame. They get daily sun (weather dependant). Most birds are kept on our stoep aviary during the day where they are kept safely out of cages. This is obviously done under supervision.
Here is a video of one of our boarders enjoying her free time and fresh mielies. She is a medical boarder. She came in very sick and unwell.
I specialize in medication boarding and am qualified in this.
Peggy came in emaciated with her beak completely thickened to the point her bottom beak was pushed outwards and her top beak was inside the mouth. I suspect she hadn't been able to eat well for the last two month and that is why she was so skinny. Her jaw seems to have stretched as a result and the bottom jaw hangs. We trimmed the thickened inside part of the top beak and to our surprise the beak was able to close normally again and she is now able to eat again. She must have been incredibly uncomfortable. She gets twice daily crop feedings as well in order to regain her weight. Her mouth was full of ulcers so with meds and our daily vitamin injections the ulcers are finally clearing up. I remove dead tissue daily in and around the mouth and she is finally starting to use her tongue again which was swollen and covered in infected tissue. I am so proud of this little bird. What a fighter through all the odds and daily handling.
Please contact us if you have any concerns about medicating your parrot or any exotic animal once they are released from hospital.

These 2 beauties, both 20+, have been with us for a week now for conversion from sunflower seeds to pellets and fresh food, as well as medicating…
