Do small animals and birds need to have water bottles rather than water dishes?
From the beginning of pet keeping, animals and birds have been offered water in open bowls placed on the cage floor or mounted on the sides of the cage.
Additional Conure Species
There are many types of conure parrot species. We hope to have this list sorted into small medium and large Conures in the near future.
Remember, every conure is a parakeet but not every parakeet is a conure.

Lafeber Company History
The story of pet bird nutrition in America is, in many ways, the story of Dr. T.J. Lafeber and pet bird care in America. Dr. Lafeber graduated from the veterinary college of Iowa State University in 1949. Early on, much of his practice, in the suburbs of Chicago, was devoted to dog and cat medicine.
In the early 1960’s, Dr. Lafeber was asked by the A.V.M.A. (American Veterinary Medicine Association) to chair their newly formed avian medicine committee. Dr. Lafeber agreed. For many years, in the late 60’s and early 70’s, Dr. Lafeber’s pet bird hospital was the largest in the United States.

A burglar broke into a house one night. He shined his flashlight around, looking for valuables when a voice in the dark said,
‘Jesus knows you’re here.’

Can the Feather Tether® be used with an older bird?
Yes, however, if you are working with an older or difficult bird you may need to follow a few more helpful hints.
For example, just like training a dog, a bird may pay better attention if you try using the harness during a time when she is hungry and you can use its favorite food or treats to help distract her.
