An oft asked question by caged bird keepers is “how do I give my bird powdered supplements”?
Pet bird supplement manufacturers are very good at letting us know what is in the supplements and providing us with precise dosages based upon the size of the bird.

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.

The biggest misconception about organic is its purity. The majority of people assume organic means fully natural and pesticide-free but this is not close to the truth.
Bird toys are to the bird cage, what leaves are to the trees your bird would be living in in the wild.
It’s said birds live by the 60/40 rule. They spend 60% of their time looking for food and 40% of their time trying not to be food. Looking for food is called foraging.
A Cockatoo parrot living in the wild will fly as many as 100 miles in a day. The bird will have several dozen stops and regular feeding places. At each stop they’ll use their strong beak (and claws) to look for food.
