I'm not sure if they are willing to rely on a rescue to find a good home for their bird, but we would be willing to help. Please contact Irena and Bird Lovers Only Rescue in Schererville, Indiana. Lafayette is about 1-1/2 hours from us.

Comment on HQ Divided Breeder Cages Back in Stock

THese birds are set up in unnatural conditions. It is a fallacy to think that birds don't need any foraging opportunities while breeding. The more natural the environment, the better the results.

So what you're saying is bird cages need more toys in them?

I am wondering if Aviculture is suffering from the same thing that politics, medicine, and economics suffer. It's not nature that is screwed up, but us human beings. We make observations of one or two birds (or fifty) and then make rules that we are bound and determined will apply to all birds of the same type. I just don't think Nature works that way. The black and white magazines this woman refers to probably were 100% correct for THOSE birds. My belief is that 50 years from now, all the old rules will be back. We humans just keep looking out from our little skulls and making rules for the world. We need to relax.

P.S. Just as an observation of something really indicative of what I am talking about. You will note that below, we have an opportunity to do a spell check on this blog. So, wanting to be perfect in all I do, I ran the spell checker. There was only one word that the spell checker on this site didn't recognize, not that I had misspelled it, it just didn't recognize it as a word. That word: Aviculture.

Great Comment here with true experienced merit to encourage all parrot and bird enthusiasts to share their experiences with all of us. Certaily,"one size does not fit all" as the saying goes, but repeatable observations (which is what science is all about) is definitely worthy of sharing with everyone in the aviculture syber world. Keep up the good work and comments.

Comment on Diet Bird Food for Overweight Birds from Roudybush

I was happy to see this low fat parrot food in your post. I have a bird that is a tad overweight and hadn't seen this product before. I believe that a parrots diet is the key to both his physical and emotional health. Thank you for bringing it to my attention!

Do you have a shower perch that will fit a Blue & Gold or Green Winged Macaw?

I have one like super bid creations and it works just fine for both my Grey and my Rosie. And it is cheaper.
