Hi Kelly
Whereas most people are scared of heights, I am scared of widths.
To that point, call me crazy but I find that little box on Google plus is a bit narrow.
Plus (is that google speak?) I’m feeling rather chatty after taking a five-hour energy.
From a recent Facebook thread
Donna, Donna, Donna
Normally I would jump into high gear and do some real micro fact checking on the subject.
Alas, it’s St. Patrick’s Day and my best friend, John Jameson and I have been chatting.
I have a cockatiel that has had extreme polyuria for years.
The vet believes it is liver damage.
He is a heavy whiteface pied.
Those mutations have been known to develop liver problems.
I am searching for ways to help his polyuria.
He is otherwise healthy and happy.
(sorry couldn’t find a white face pied pic)
What’s a feather?
It’s a product of the protein known as Keratin and comes in three flavors: contour, sensory, and down – feathers.
Feathers perform far more services for birds than you probably ever thought.
 We talk a lot about your bird’s foot health so when I saw this article, it was one of those “wow” moments. the importance of your bird’s foot health can not be overstated. The following is a post from ArsAnatomica on tumblr.

Hi, Love your website !
Thank you for that.
I’m hoping you can help me with training and integrating my birds.
I made the mistake of getting 4 budgies at the same time.
Doh !
Hi Mitch. Just a comment of concern.
Clearly, I understand the need to know a bird’s sex but I’m also very concerned about this kit that anybody can buy, including many of the idiots out there that own birds.
Editors note: not my words
Do you really want to encourage all owners to pluck their birds feathers and cut their nails too short in order to get blood for testing?
There are experienced owners out there that could do it but there are probably many more out there who could cause an emergency and pain.
I have lived with 17 budgies but I would would still go to a vet for something like that.
I wish you would write a follow up to that article to inspire caution. The article makes me very nervous frankly.

Hi there,
This is my first time at your store.
I love it!
I have 2 White Bellied Caiques (WBC) and a Green Cheek Conure (GCC).
Species Profile White-bellied Caiques on HARI.com
One of my WBC, Jaden, has the Bornavirus and has been near death many times his first year and a half.
We upped his Celebrex and he’s been free of symptoms for 11 months.
He only gets Harrison’s High Potency with some soft fruits.
So we were about to leave the Birdie Boutique the other night. Five minutes before close and we get a call.
