Hand-feeding Congo African Grey Babies

I have 3 adorable, baby Congo African Greys that I am hand-feeding. They are only 6 weeks old so I am accepting deposits. My babies are top quality, raised with the best of care and come with a 3 week written health guarantee.

Choosing a reputable breeder with whom you trust and feel comfortable with is as important as finding the perfect baby parrot. My knowledge, experience, accessibility and client commitment are what set me apart.

Standard Light Bulbs Must be Used in NuAge Bird Cages

I wanted to let you know that the full specturm bird cage light bulb that I just ordered from you will not fit the NuAge bird cage light fixture. The bulb has a broad area just above the screw-in part that makes it incompatible. 

Since you sell NuAge cages, I thought you might like to add this information about the bulb so your next customer doesn’t waste money on a bulb that won’t fit!

Lafeber’s Birdito’s are ONLY available from Lafeber’s at this time

My African Grey loves Lafeber’s Nutri-Nuts but the dyes make for cleanup issues and make it difficult to assess the birds droppings.

I contacted Lafeber and they confirmed that I cannot get the Nutri-Nuts without dyes anymore. They then came back and suggested Birdito’s as a possible option. They sent me a sample and Merlin loves them.

Additional Perils to Birds & Parrots

Friends, here are additional perils. 

  1. West Nile Virus — I bought a huge mosquito net, made to cover an outdoor gazebo, and put it over the cage and tuck it underneath, so no way can an insect get in. It is amazing how many different bugs I catch in that thing.
  2. Cold — I think you should sell thermal perches. All the birds love them, hot or cold. The older birds only want those. Medium is suitable for Amazons, conures etc. Smaller birds like cockatiels — use the size small.

Seeking Prosthetic Wing for My Amazon Parrot

I am wondering if there is any type of prosthetic wings available for birds or something that would be able to attach to my bird so he could use his wings to land safely if he falls.
