Mitch,Â
Thanks so much for spending time with me on the phone. Very much appreciated.
As discussed, I will be getting a single Linnie. Most likely, it will stay at one. There is a small chance it could expand to two birds later … but not in the plans right now. I just mention that in case it influences your recommendation. Wouldn’t want to have to change cages later in this unlikely occurrence.
Clicker training is a great way to teach your bird positive behavior. Clicker training is especially useful with problem birds and parrots because it can help in making positive changes with your birds.
Clicker training helps make your bird do something willingly. Clicker training has been used on dogs many zoo animals. Dolphins use something similar to clicker training except they use whistles instead of clickers which are heard better underwater.

 Parrot breeders all over the world trust Hagen Tropican Mash Hand-Feeding Formula for providing their precious baby birds with all the essential nutrients necessary for excellent growth and brilliant plumage.
A stick can be any type of long rod, preferably wood, and something that your bird can comfortably grab onto. Although a birdcage perch would seem to make the most sense they are usually too short.
A 3 foot dowel rod of the appropriate diameter can be purchased from your local hardware store or home improvement store. A broomstick can be just as handy. (more…)
I was comparing your full spectrum 25 Watt Daylight cage Bulb to the Avian Sun full spectrum 26 watt bulbs sold by zoo-med. What is the UBV wattage (UVA + UVB+ Visable+TRUE full spectrum per ZOO MED)?
Thank you for your inquiry.
We do carry a 25 Watt Full Spectrum Spiral Compact Fluorescent Bulb which retails for much less than the ZooMed bulb.
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.
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.Â
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!

You have a big bird but you throw out the 20 phone books you get every year (we get that many in Chicago)

Hi Mitch
I use clothespins too but I have never been able to find out what the metal is made out of. Also, do the balloon weights have lead in them as the weight?
To all Concerned:
I have received a very generous shipment of food from Higgins Premium for which I thank you all so much.
Upon opening the Sunburst Gourmet Food Mix, I see that I indeed received a badly mixed batch the first time. This bag was nothing at all like the initial bag I received. This one was full of large fruit chunks, seeds, and whole nuts.

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.
