Lee asks
Hi Windy City,
Does anyone out there clean their perches with peroxide?
Is it safe?
I’ve tried various surface cleaning methods followed by baking.
Most recently, after cleaning off loose debris, I soaked in bleach water, then steamed with a brush attachment.
During a cold spell, so I did this indoors.

My husband continues to sit with his grey parrot to encourage him to eat.
He will sit there for as long as a 1/2 hr. per sitting.
There are times the bird will bang his beak and screeches to get him to sit there so he can eat.

I’m not sure when we started selling TOP’s Parrot Food formally known as Totally Organics.
The distraction of moving to Indiana allowed us to move a little away from focusing on “the devil’s in the details”.
We noticed the packaging had changed as well as the titles of the food but did not really drill down into this bird food line until recently.

Panama Amazons
(aka the Panama Yellow-headed Amazon)
My Panama Amazon (26 years old..all with me 😉 had a very long hormonal season (approx. 4 months).
During that time he followed me from room to room and ate a lot of food, especially PB sandwiches and apple chunks, corn, and Nutri-berries.

We get the following phone call on a regular basis.
Me: “Hello, Windy City Parrot”.
Caller: “Hi do you all sell talking parrots?”
If you are a bird person you know there is no such as a “guaranteed to talk”, parrot.

It’s spring, which means some of you may have noticed your bird’s behavior has begun to change a bit which may mean, your bird’s hormonal cycle has begun to change.
You can expect many changes but above all expect the unexpected.

In the wild, birds will land on most any tree regardless of perch size
Or
Why we don’t know Jack about proper perch sizes for caged birds
All these bloody geniuses on the Internet.
YouTube rock stars of bird care.
Where are you getting your information?
Avian vets have the ability to predict the outcome of interactions between multiple birds.
“Don’t put that bird near the other bird – an attack is imminent!”
