How Are Feral Parrots Surviving Feral Cat Genocide?
I’ll let this sink in – I call it “sanity” A follow up to:
Debunking the myth of feral cats devastating US songbird populations
3,700,000,000 birds (feral cats *by themselves* through simple math are killing an estimated 1.4-3.7 billion birds per year… )
(If you accept statistics with a plus or minus 110% statistical accuracy)
1 year = 8,760 hours = 422,374 birds being eaten by feral cats every hour 24/7
8,447 birds being eaten by a feral cat in each of the 50 states every hour 24/7

How Not to Build Outdoor Aviaries for Large Macaw Parrots
Lil M. writes,
We want to build an outside aviary for our macaw. I would like to have a secure structure, safe from predators.
Our location will be Clarksville, TN. I’m looking at ideas online but thought perhaps asking an authority on the subject would be the best way to start researching.

Bird Cage Dish for Older Cage Issues
Find all our birdcage crocks & dishes here
I ordered these dishes for my cage using the dimensions you listed on your website which are #01 dish measures 5″ across the top including lip. (4 1/2″ not including lip) 3″ tall.
When I received these dishes I checked them and they do not fit my cage. And the reason they do not fit is that they are not the dimensions you state on your website.

Bird Cage Lighting Need Not Be So Complicated
Attn. Mitch Rezman
Fluorescent lights.
The recent post here on Vit. D led me to more research. It appears most if not all of the Windy City Full Spectrum lights have simple magnetic ballasts, producing visible flicker. This is proven for chickens and assumed for the likely better eyes of psittacines with their mainly flying lifestyle.
High-frequency electronic ballasts are now standard for indoor fluorescents where human health is a consideration as the high-frequency flicker is far faster than our visual system can perceive. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_ballast>Electronic Ballasts) Commonly about 3500 Hz in Compact Fluorescent Lights. HF ballasts are now competitive with previous mains rate (120Hz) magnetic ballasts products and are offered in full spectrum phosphors lights.
