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.

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.

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.

We talk about the 60/40 rule a lot. In the wild birds spend 60% of their time looking for food and 40% of their time trying not to be food.

Do I Really Need The Largest Bird Cage I Can Afford?

We posted the picture above today on Facebook and one of our fans commented: “I sure hope this macaw doesn’t live in that tiny cage” my response may be a bit of a shock but I don’t necessarily have a problem with that.
