Single most asked question at Windy City Parrot?
“Why is my bird so messy”?
Kriselle and I had chatted on the phone a month ago.
She shared her plans to bring two baby birds into her home.
She was taking a year off from work and felt it would give her the opportunity to make the right home for the birds.
I’ll make a note here that I recommend she start leaving the house about 3 months before returning to work starting with shorter periods but ramping up to full 8 – 10 hour days to help the birds adjust to a “prolonged absence”Â
Much has been written about the bird cage. Almost every web site that tries to sell you a bird cage will offer information on how to purchase the right bird cage. Proper bird cage bar spacing, proper bird cage size – every bird cage website has an opinion.
At the end-of-the-day, much of the bird cage information you read boils down to just that, opinion. Am I starting to ruffle some feathers – good? The reality is, a reality we’ve built after selling a bird cage to thousands of pet bird owners.

Why Do Parrots Need Play Stands?
According to the experts, cage confinement can lead to obesity, depression, boredom and stress.
With an open airy environment, your companion birds gain a sense of freedom, a chance to explore, get plenty of exercise, and gain enhanced emotional stability.
