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.
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.
I am writing because I wanted you to know that Higgins has reformulated their Sunburst mixes.
