Seeking Prosthetic Wing for My Amazon Parrot

I am wondering if there is any type of prosthetic wings available for birds or something that would be able to attach to my bird so he could use his wings to land safely if he falls.

My birds left-wing has been partially removed right before the 2nd joint of the wing connects.

So he has a partial wing but not enough wingspan to help him land safely when he loses his balance and falls.

Using Hagen Prime Bird Vitamin, Mineral & Amino Acid Supplement.

We’ve been getting a lot of requests lately for information on Hagen Prime Vitamin, Mineral & Amino Acid Supplement. One of the most asked questions is “Does my bird need a vitamin”?

First of all, if you are not sure – check with your avian veterinarian and get a health evaluation or assessment. You can always give us a call toll-free at 1-877-287-0810 or e-mail us [email protected] for a vet referral.

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…)

Hi Elaine

We received your order.

Upon examination of your order, we see you ordered a MEDIUM thermo perch for a bird that is too large for a medium thermo perch. A Scarlet Macaw will need a LARGE Thermo perch.

The medium could break and is not thick enough for such a beefy bird. A larger perch is required for such a large bird so it does not have to grip it so tight to hang on.

Getting Your Bird Play With Bird Toys

How many times do you get a new toy for your bird, stick it in the birdcage close the door, and then go and work on your computer or watch television?

Then you wonder why your bird chewed your television remote or the wire to your mouse. Introducing a new bird toy into your bird’s cage is no guarantee that he or she will engage it. To complicate this people will introduce new items into the birdcage when they get home from work as the sun is going down.

The problem with introducing new items in the birdcages around sundown is the shadows that can be thrown which may scare the birds or the birds may become phobic over these new items.

Bird Cage Liner Paper from Prevue Pet

In speaking to one of our customers who has a Sun Conure – I asked her for her reason for using these T-3 bird cage liners. She said her Sun Conure like to chew paper and whenever he chewed newspaper he ended up with ink all over his feathers that was very difficult to get out.

I recall when the movie Finding Nemo came out. Parents flocked to pet stores buying clownfish. As a result, the number of clownfish fell. These saltwater fish were brought home and put in fishbowls filled with tap water.

We haven’t had the inquiries I expected with the release of the movie RIO a story about a parrot. And I’m glad. Not that publicity is unwelcome but far too often we see pets being introduced to children and proper care is not given resulting in sickness and death. (more…)
