Hi everyone, Six months ago my 3 1/2 yo CAG plucked her entire chest and neck overnight.
She had never touched a feather before.
The only thing I have determined that may have caused it was a lack of sleep. (more…)
Mango Pet in Smithfield Rhode Island USA is one of our favorite vendors. Eric Christopher, Mango’s president is a talented engineer who knows about making avian specialty products for people who own pet birds.
Do the dimensions stated in the bird cage listings include seed guards?
The listed cage dimensions do not include the dimensions for the seed catchers. In general figure an additional 10 inches side-to-side and front-to-back. Using the seed catchers is optional, we don’t suggest using them, they are just another thing to wash and the birds do manage to toss things beyond the seed catchers anyway.

A recent request for information:
Hey guys, how about putting out some info on barometric pressure, and how it effects parrots, as well the wild birds. I’m here on the east coast getting ready for the BIG hurricane and my Parrotlet is acting a bit nervous.
We have known for a long time birds will eat more as air pressure falls. This is because birds know that they have a hard time getting food during a storm and storms are usually associated with falling pressure so by having this innate ability to detect falling air pressure to predict a storm, that gives them more time to prepare much like we do by watching television or listening to the radio and then going to the grocery store.
I did review what we have used, but I already know he will love the toy, but I haven’t put it up yet. I will review it though as well.
I do have a question….what is a regular customer in your eyes? How many purchases and what time frame?

1) I’m assuming that a 32″ wide cage is sufficient. Please correct me if I’m wrong.
Yes, you are correct a 32-inch wide cage is sufficient. That said we believe there is a general misunderstanding of cage sizes in terms of the content found on the Internet. The size cage that a bird needs is really more dependent upon lifestyle both yours and the birds.

Hi there,
I bought the 18″ d 14-1/2 ” Prevue Pet T3 cage liners. I have used these before and when I opened the 14-1/2″ roll it was smooth paper

I have a question and I hope you can help? My Severe Macaw is 26 months old. I had him in a play-top birdcage until about 6 months ago.
He is now in a dome cage. In the play-top cage, he would play with his foot toys at the bottom of the cage and climb all around. Now that I have him in a dome cage he will not go to the bottom of his cage. If he drops a toy or food he won’t go to the bottom at all. (more…)
Every once in a while we get a request for bird leg bands. Because of the variety and broad selection necessary to satisfy every birders needs it’s a category that we choose not to cover at this time.
