& How They Make Your Bird 1st Cousin To A Crocodile
Last week we chatted about a macaw and the demise of its human lungs. It’s unfortunate but sometimes we are more concerned with our bird’s health than random human beings and I get that so let’s spin 180° and talk about respiratory issues that our birds may have,
First a Popcorn update – this is what you look for in a vet:
Today it's email, or you are pinned - tweeted - snapchatted - facebooked and plussed. Back in the day, some announcer would say "keep those cards and letters coming".…
Popcorn update: Catherine, me and our avian vet Dr. Byron decided to bypass the brooding period. We just exposed Popcorn to 72 hours of light to help (hoping) shut…

Mitch mentioned something to me the other day that I had never given any thought to the cage canopy. I had more or less arranged toys in the top part of the cage, from instinct I suppose, but never knew why I did it or thought that others might not do exactly the same.
In the wild, parrots and other types of flighted birds (as opposed to emus and ostriches (that can’t fly) spend a lot of time foraging, often on the ground. All the rest of their time is spent in the upper branches of trees.
This provides the best cover from predators by preventing the things that want to eat birds from easily spotting them while the rustling of leaves alerts the birds to the presence of some creature in time to make every effort to escape the danger. The birds play, sleep and nest for the most part in the top one-third of the tree canopy.
