Just For Parrot Lovers!

   Just Veggies/Fruits

Hi Tammy, I have about 5 of your sleep tubes so far and just ordered 2 for the lovebird chicks I have until they go to their new homes. The have 2 in the cage back to back so they can all get in and still be close.......they prefer to all 5 get in the same tube.

And from Laura

We just wanted to share some photos of Swoozie! We love her! She is the best post work out shower buddy ever and such a cuddle bug.

We had no idea she would be so affectionate with wanting hugs and kisses. She even helps us put Olivia to sleep at night and MUST be a part of bath time in the evenings with her. She is also a laundry freak. Under no circumstances are you to go to the washer and dryer without her and fold it as well. That just does not happen in her world.

Her personality grows everyday and she is even starting to whistle and chirp a bit (kinda like a budgie). But she has her own games and already knows 'kisses' command 'step up', 'step down', and 'no biting'.

Thank you again for such a sweet bird! We cannot wait to see you soon for a nail trim and some goodies!

Just wanted to give you a little update on Gizmo!

He's doing great! Everybody loves him, and he loves everybody! And he's so funny - not a day goes by that he doesn't make us laugh.

His favorite color is red; he eats just about everything (his favorite food turned out to be lasagna - after the first time he had lasagna we had to snatch him from the table because he wanted to throw himself on the plate!). It also turned out that the simplest things apparently make the best toys!! Rolls of toilet paper, empty chap sticks, pens...

People cannot believe when I tell them that my Gizmo is like a little puppy dog! He'll hop, skip, and jump after me, following me around the house all day! He's a true joy.

Thank you so much for such a great companion.

Now I have been thinking about getting him a little friend. I'll be graduating from college soon, and eventually moving out on my own, so I'd hate for him to be alone all day while I'm working. But I had a few questions about that, and hope that you can answer them for me.

Do caiques get along well? I heard some horror stories of birds hating each other and having to be in separate cages. And what is the best gender? I don't really want to breed them lol. So I was thinking another male caique is the way to go - but some people I've talked to told me that 2 males won't get along as well. What do you recommend? Also, would it matter (to Gizmo lol) if the second caique is white bellied instead of black headed?

Thanks for your help! And thank you again for bringing such a joy into our lives!

Hi ! Sorry this has taken so long, But as promised, here's some pictures of Rocco! I only sent a few, but I have hundreds already and hours of video! He is doing great! Won my husbands heart right away too! He has become a definite part of the family! Training is going well, but for some reason I think Rocco is training us instead ! He enjoys having supper time with us in the kitchen every night,,, usually end up stealing one of the utensils off my plate, or like on Sunday I looked over and he had stole a spring roll from my plate! Rocco has Keith wrapped around his little finger too! Funny how that works out! Rocco seems to be bonding well with him now too! But he's still 'mommy's boy' When I get home he wants a kiss and a good head rub! His vocabulary is getting unbelievable, picks up words after hearing them only a few times too! I think we're looking at almost the 3 dozen word mark ( I seem to loose count) So talking on the phone near him is now impossible, because he answers everything for you, or takes the phone and tosses it on the floor! He's very curious and house exploration seems to be much fun for him! Bath time is always fun too! We've done a few of those now too! One big show!! Takes 2 hours to sprits him down and dry him off! And for some off reason he loves the hair dryer! Never heard of that before! But it works for us! He doesn't mind the vacuum either... even if I'm inside his cage with it sucking up feathers! He comes down for a closer look every time! Life has definitely changed in our house this past month, I couldn't have even imagined how fulfilling of an experience this has been for us so far! I can now agree with most, in that having a parrot is comparable to a 3 year old child! I think we'll stick to the birds, Rocco doesn't seem to talk back as much as our friends kids! Thanks again for making this all happen! It has been worth every minute and permit , of it for me!

Just thought you would like a picture of Tazz and his flock members he is doing great. The big bird with him is Ziggy and the other senegal is Copper the black headed caique is Woody. Thank you for all you did. We love him lots

Just wanted to let you know that Fiona is doing great!  She loves playing with her toys, and as you can see- especially this swing!  She also enjoys cuddling right up under my chin while I rub her neck (and makes the cutest little baby noises while I do this). She is truly spoiled.  Thank you for everything!

I wanted to let you know that Jewels is doing great! Raisins and dried pineapple are her favorites - she is eating and drinking well. She bites more than I like, but we're working on that! She quickly learned "up" and kisses and to go poo over the toilet when she first comes out of the cage. She recognizes the door being opened and our voices.....and likes to look up at airplanes when they fly over. She is quite cuddly, but becoming more independent and mostly only likes cuddling later in the evening now. She is good about sleeping in her bed and loves to take a shower. She is a sweet bird and we love her dearly. I'm so happy to have her.

Thank you so much for the great care I know you'll be giving Ares, just as you do for all your birds.

We stopped by your aviary today and I wanted to make sure to thank you for this wonderful afternoon and answering all our questions thoroughly and patiently and spending so much time with us today, I greatly appreciate it!! We'll be back soon and are looking forward to reading the books we purchased today. It's wonderful to see pets and especially birds in such loving and caring hands. Your website is definitely a huge piece of work with so many web pages...(suppose only travel agencies have more pages) and you are spoiling your customers. We look forward to coming back!

We love her! Thanks for bringing her up so well!
