Guy is in need of a loving home due to his owner passing and other family members are relocating asap. I don't have a lot of details on Guy, just the following:

Guy's owner was referred to us by Dr. Mohan's office.
It has been over a year or more since he was vetted.
He is a seed bird.
Eats people food, as usual, pizza is his favorite.
He needs a wing and nail trim.
He was good with the son who passed, 21 yrs old and daughter, 18, but hates the father. Unfortunately, since his owners passing 6 months ago, Guy has not been out of his cage.
He has a large vocabulary but I don't know the specifics.
He will come with his cage.
Guy's rehoming fee is $200.00

If you may be interested in providing a home for Guy, you must fill out an adoption application and forward it to me. The applications are available on our site under FILES. I will review the applications and contact Guy's current owner. I do not have any further info on Guy at this time so please don't send me questions. If I get further information, I will post it on the site.

Thanks everyone!

I'm writing to inquire if you have access to a comparable perch for my Quaker, I love the looks of the stainless and it looks like it's very sturdy & well built but just to large for my baby. Maybe if you could tell me if the perch could be replaced with a smaller one. Thanks any ifo will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks again
Lynette


A Palisade may be better, but I put my white capped pionus on it, so it is fine...

We have a 15-yaer old African Grey that we have had for about a year. It used to belong

to our neighbors, who never took her anywhere with them.

We would like to try to take her in a travel carrier, and would also like to have one in the

event of emergency. We want her to be accustomed to travel.

Which type of carrier would you recommend? This bird is on the cautious side; for example,

she will only fly within a range in which she can see her home cage.  I wondered about

the 'suitcase' style of carrier in which the bird doesn't have a clear view, and think that perhaps

it would be an enormous task to get her into one of those.

What do you think?  Have you any tips on getting a bird into one of these devices?

Thanks.

I have been getting Tropimix Large Parrot, or Tropimix Low fat Bean Mix in the 20 lb bag for a few years.  The last couple of bags seem to have more smashed corn (for the low fat) and seed (for the large parrot) in it than fruit and nuts.  I liked this brand because it used to have so much fruit and nuts.  My lastest bag has almost no fruit, nuts, or sticks.  Instead is mostly black and white seeds.  Have you noticed this at all?

Dear Karen

Your message to Windy City Parrot regarding your last purchase of our Tropimix Large Parrot & Tropimix Low-Fat Bean Mix was forwarded to me.  First, let me start off by saying Thank you for being a loyal HARI Approved Bird Food Customer. We really appreciate your long time support! Secondly, we want to address your concerns over your recent purchases of our product.

Our Tropimix products should have a 25% by volume ratio of  Dehydrated Fruits & Vegetables, 25% by volume of appropriate Tropican morsels, 25% by volume Nuts & Legumes (Low-Fat should not include the Nuts nor should it have any oil seeds), the remaining 25% should consist of the smaller seeds, corn (pieces, flaked, and whole).

While I don’t need to verify your purchase in the way of a merchant receipt, I would like for our Quality Control team to investigate the product. They do keep a first, middle, and end sample of each lot of Tropimix in reserve. So, if you can supply me with the article number, lot number & expiration date from the label, I will be able to get them started. And, I will arrange for product replacement for you. We do want to ensure your total satisfaction and I hope we can continue to count on your support and loyalty of our HARI Approved Bird Food products like Tropimix.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at the toll free number listed below.

We all want our pets to be comfortable in the summer. An economical way to cool you and your bird is to arrange a fan to blow air  over your bird's cage. Great for dogs but the problem is that you'll be constantly disrupting their complex feather system.

When feathers are "ruffled" a birds first inclination is to preen (clean) and try to keep the feathers in place which can lead to over preening and possibly feather destruction and/or self mutilation.

If possible use indirect airflow to avoid this problem.

Hello everyone,

Thanks for being part of our cause! We have an exciting fundraiser going on this month, & I invite you all to check it out.

"Lucky is an educational children’s book that gently awakens children to the plight of captive birds and birds captured in the wild. Based on a true story, Lucky tells the story of a parrot who is captured in the wild and eventually regains his freedom with the help of a young Indonesian boy."

**During the month of July, all proceeds from the sale of the book go to the Sanctuary!!! 

If you have a child in your life or know someone who does, please consider getting the book for them!  Or for yourself!!!
Lastly, please consider passing this info. along to everyone you know and ask them to do the same.  Use your message boards, social networking sites, etc... to help spread the word!**

Thanks so much! The parrots could really use your support this summer!
