I thought it was appropriate while introducing some of our newest divided cages to talk about the best uses for a divided birdcage. As luck would have it the following question came across my digital desk.

They warned me it was a slippery slope. A week away from my 62nd birthday I find myself a short white balding Jewish guy who’s become a “crazy bird person”.

Our apartment is 60 feet long and 30 feet wide or more in places.

In the morning I tend to domestic chores going in and out of rooms organizing, cleaning and while this is going on I have 95g of white feathers following me.

And if someone was looking through the window it would appear as though I was happily talking to myself because I’m carrying on a conversation with 95g of white feathers who happens to be in the same room wherever I am.

I have ordered toys from you previously. To be quite honest, I have probably ordered at least one toy from every place I’ve found online.

I have a 5 yr old Catalina Macaw that I have had since he was 6-1/2 weeks old. At 6 months old, he broke the bars of his first cage, then we got him a big “Kings Corner” Cage, and it didn’t take him long to learn how to open the latch on the door, so we have been duct-taping that for quite some time now.

What’s the single most asked question at Windy City Parrot? “Why is my bird so messy”? It’s not that “your” bird is messy.

Birds are messy by natural design. For us old folks, the talk you had with your folks was called the “birds and the bees” talk for a reason.

Bees spread pollen by going from flower to flower, thus we have more flowers.

My Bird Can Climb Over and Down the Cage Seed Guards

My Sydney (19-yrs) has finally figured out how to climb over and down the bottom apron of her cage. Has anyone else had this problem and a solution other than keeping her in her cage? The four dogs tend to leave her alone but can not take it for granted.

Having sold several thousand bird cages my recommendation would be to take them off. They actually are more to clean and can be dangerous to other large and small humans and pets in the household.

We’re going to start out with one of our favorite product lines Lixit. Do you really need a water bottle? Birds being the messy creatures that they are will poop in their water dishes regardless of placement.

This means the stray food, the poop, and other contaminants which carry bacteria get ingested by your bird. One of the easiest ways to overcome these problems is to install a Lixit water bottle in your birdcage.

Lixit water bottles enable you to introduce water simply for bathing and avoid having to change your bird’s drinking water throughout the day in order to keep it clean.
