I so much appreciate your phone call yesterday–thank you!
The cage arrived about 5:30 yesterday evening via UPS. Our UPS guy has been delivering here for years so he brought it all the way into the house for me, which was great! He loves our dog so he even stayed a few minutes to play with her! LOL!

 A part of animal rescue goes beyond that of helping dogs, cats, or even bunnies. Exotic bird rescue needs just as much help from the community as organizations that help those with wagging tails.
Can a Lixit Bird water bottle stopper be washed in the dishwasher and/or wash by hand in lukewarm soapy water?

Hi there,
I was referred to your website by some folks who have purchased from you in the past. It is generally known that HQ makes a very good cage. I have looked at some of the other cages you have to offer and wanted to know how they compare.
I have seen the Prevue Select cages but haven’t seen any reviews or information on the web as to the quality, ease of cleaning, etc.
I notice that the Prevue Select 3152 is more expensive than the HQ 80024 and wondered if it is a better cage overall.
The other line I am curious is AE, any suggestions?
Thanks
Adrian
Working on the Windy City Parrot website late last night and the movie A Hard Days Night, starring the Beatles came on. I remember going to the Howard movie theater as a sophomore at Sullivan High School in Chicago.
My kinky hair (when I had hair) forced down over my forehead, a turtle neck dickie and bell-bottom trousers made me look well, maybe I need to delete that part of the memory.
I have another problem and this is with the LIXIT 5/8 nozzle. I just got that bottle mounted last night and this morning I found the water half gone and the papers beneath were saturated with water.
It’s hard enough to house a parrot in a cage let alone two especially when they come from different continents (Senegal’s are from Africa and Quakers are from South America). We just received a call from a woman who bought a bird cage from us less than two years ago. At the time she was about to acquire a Quaker and Senegal parrot – both just recently weened. (more…)
Dear Windy City Parrot,
Overall, I was happy with the order. My only concern is the treat sticks I redeemed my points for are made for large hookbills and we have Bourke’s parakeets.

One of the best ways to ensure your bird’s good health is to weigh it on a regular basis.
By using a good quality gram scale (you don’t have to spend a lot of money on it) you will have one of the best preventative health tools that can provide red flags to any potential problems before they develop into something a bit more serious.
We don’t recommend using a spring-based scale used for measuring kitchen ingredients because we are seeking accuracy. (more…)
