Birds need a bath or shower. No getting around it. Mine like showers but they are, shall we say, “less than animated” when they are taking a shower. Normally you see videos of birds and they’re all very loud and rambunctious. Such as these two here: Mine? Not so much as you will see here. [...]

My friend Lisa and I shot a video demonstration of how to make “Chop.” Many of my “Bleaders,” (Blog Readers)  wanted more detail on the process, so here you go! I hope you get a kick out of it and perhaps will try this way of feeding your birds. Thanks Lisa, and thanks to all [...]

(I wrote this essay for Deb White, Creator of the fabulous website: “Avian Enrichment.” You can find this very large and really wonderful site here: Avian Enrichment. It’s an absolutely wonderful website with lots to read and lots to learn.) What is a “starter bird?” Is that like a “starter human?” Maybe that’s why human [...]

Maisy had settled into a routine and just to mix it up a little, I gave her a bath. She needed one with all of our ramming around outside and I had the time, so I went ahead and gave her one. She seemed to really enjoy it.  She was just so calm in the [...]
