Every once in a while we get a request for bird leg bands. Because of the variety and broad selection necessary to satisfy every birders needs it’s a category that we choose not to cover at this time.

Do you know of anyone who makes cages for disabled birds? I’m looking for something probably made of plexiglass for a Congo. He/she is about 7 weeks old. Has a bad right leg. He is standing on his left & seems like he will perch.
I’m going to be moving him into a plastic bucket that I can make perches for. If he learns to perch, I’ll be looking for a cage. It was an option to have the leg removed. I hate to have the leg removed if I don’t have to. It would get caught in any cage bars of the birdcages on the market. (more…)
Clicker training is a great way to teach your bird positive behavior. Clicker training is especially useful with problem birds and parrots because it can help in making positive changes with your birds.
Clicker training helps make your bird do something willingly. Clicker training has been used on dogs many zoo animals. Dolphins use something similar to clicker training except they use whistles instead of clickers which are heard better underwater.

I was comparing your full spectrum 25 Watt Daylight cage Bulb to the Avian Sun full spectrum 26 watt bulbs sold by zoo-med. What is the UBV wattage (UVA + UVB+ Visable+TRUE full spectrum per ZOO MED)?
Thank you for your inquiry.
We do carry a 25 Watt Full Spectrum Spiral Compact Fluorescent Bulb which retails for much less than the ZooMed bulb.
You have a big bird but you throw out the 20 phone books you get every year (we get that many in Chicago)

Hi Mitch
I use clothespins too but I have never been able to find out what the metal is made out of. Also, do the balloon weights have lead in them as the weight?
A woman just called to say she wanted to return the Bell Tower bird toy pictured above. I asked her what kind of bird it was for and she said…
Can a Lixit Bird water bottle stopper be washed in the dishwasher and/or wash by hand in lukewarm soapy water?

I have another problem and this is with the LIXIT 5/8 nozzle. I just got that bottle mounted last night and this morning I found the water half gone and the papers beneath were saturated with water.
