Yesterday was national parrot day.

I didnt post, i was busy with birds. Alot of rescues and people celebrated the joy that birds bring into our lives. I agree parrots make our lives wonderful.

I see those same people shame, post pictures of peoples unfortunate situations, shame people for not reaching out for help. Use people an example. That helps no one. People do not reach out for help, they let things go to far because of shame, repercussion’s, being made an example of publicly. None of that helps anyone much less the birds. There is no actual education in doing that.

Parrots are apart of peoples lives, education, help and assistance is sometimes what the people and parrots actually need.

How do your birds like to be bathed? Misted, a bowl, sprayed?

Amazons lack a preening glad and need an extra bath. A few other species also lack them.

Pumpkin here likes the full in the shower drowning experience. (Note no birds were actually drowned)

Lets talk about my favorite species, Amazons.

There is particular misinformation that amazons are difficult to manage are grumpy, grouchy, hot and cold. Theyre extremely misunderstood in the parrot community and inexperienced people perpetuate the reputation.
Like any parrot, they can have their moments, want respect and can succumb to hormones.

I have worked with alot of amazon species and a majority of my own personal birds are amazons. If you are having an issue or just want to chat amazons reach out!

Is your young dinosaur giving you a bit of trouble? Or maybe old dragon letting hormones get the better of them? (Tis the season)

Need to keep your bird busy while wrapping last minute gifts?
Zip tie a branch to the side of your cage and hang toys for some fun enrichment that will keep them busy for hours!

Teaching your bird tricks can help keep them busy! It can also help teach them skills they will need for being groomed and examined.

You ever wonder why parrots talk or how?

Dont discredit the use of budgies. They have the biggest vocabulary on record of any parrots.

Researchers put tiny probes in parakeet brains—and found parallels between parrot and human speech. https://trib.al/X08EiZr

Whether you buy a baby or rescue a bird. Do your research. Not all breeders, bird stores and rescues are the same.
Some bird stores and breeders will sell you a bird without education or disease testing hoping just to turn a profit. There are a few rescues like that too and people posing as rescues to accumulate birds.

Whichever way you decide for a new friend, do your research! Local bird facebook groups are a good place to start.

(I have done all three, no judgement about baby vs rehome/rescue here)

Harness training your beloved bird can be super difficult but have many benefits.

Its best to start as a baby but not all of us get that option. Start by getting them used to the harness as an object in their daily routines.
