I created a video assembled from photos sent by friends and Parrot Nation Readers from all over the place. It was a small project and I did the editing in about two days, but it was a lot of fun to put together. What I wanted to do was show you that Chop is indeed [...]

Revolution? What Revolution? No, I’m not talking about the Occupy Movement, although Parker and Pepper did once “Occupy” the front porch to make themselves two more with the movement: The revolution I’m talking about is what’s going on in the average parrot’s diet. Yes, I’m talking about the “Chop Revolution.” It seems to be spreading [...]

My incredibly good friend Lynn and I on the jumpseat headed for Caracas Oy! I’ve been meaning to post again for a week now, but I’ve had my hands full. I’ve been doing a lot of flying. It’s all been out of Miami Airport so the drive is kicking my keester. It’s been fun flying [...]

Bob’s Chop! Gorgeous! Robert is a bird person in a big way. What I mean by that is that he has big birds. Here is Bob’s bio that he wrote and sent along to me for the post: “Robert is not exactly a newcomer to aviculture, he has been in its midst for over 30 [...]

I got Heidi’s photo Here. I watched the show Prostitutes to Parrots on Animal Planet last night. It seems that Heidi Fleiss has a new gig. After adopting 20 macaws, Heidi has to figure out how to efficiently care for them while trying to make enough money to support herself and her flock. Now this [...]

Over the years, I have tried different types of bird supplements for my birds. I think it’s smart to add a vitamin supplement to a bird’s diet. Even though my Greys have a very nutritious daily menu, I still sprinkle their food with a vitamin supplement a couple of times a week. I do it [...]

“Less Work For Mother” I’ve always liked that phrase. The first time I ever saw it used tongue-in-cheek was by the writer and now director and producer, Nora Ephron. She wrote a very witty book back in the 70’s titled Crazy Salad. Ephron called her book Crazy Salad, I think because it was a series [...]

I’m all for efficiency. The trick isn’t knowing how to feed your parrots well. The trick is how to get the damned food into your birds. And I’m not talking about actually making the food. Look, most of us are running at breakneck speed. It’s tougher to make a living, employers are cutting back on their [...]

People occasionally ask me how they can get their parrots to eat something that’s good for them when their parrots look at them as though they were serving them strychnine. I always tell them the same thing. The answer lies in your refrigerator. It’s made by Wish Bone or any of the other salad dressing [...]

Grainy photo, but you get the point. What is fine dining to a parrot? No, this is not a rhetorical question. I’m really asking. I think fine dining for a parrot is, or should be something that is not only good for them, but is fun for them as well. Now Parker’s idea of fine dining [...]
