How Do I Get My Bird to Accept a New Playstand?
Cynthia L. needs a bird feeding dish for her new bird’s stand:
The bird stand that I have came with stainless steel, 8 oz. bowls, my Grey loves to grab them and flip everything on the floor.
I need a heavy bowl that will fit.
Next, tell me how I get her to accept the nice new stand.
I have it in the same room, now 4 ft away from her cage.
If I have her on my hand and we walk anywhere near it, she will fly away.

Does My Birds Need Heated Perches and Warming Panels?
Barbara D. wonders:
I have 2 Blue Fronted Amazons.
I have a heated Thermo Perch in the cage but am concerned about the winter room temperature when I bring the birds out to the living room in their cage to be with us, their room is set for 68/69 but the living room is more like 66.
So I thought the Snuggle Up panel might be good to add to the perch.
They have not checked out the warm perch yet.
I have seen them on the heated perch in the winter before, this perch is second to lowest perch in their cage.
Should I raise the perch a bit higher?
