Ewww! Seriously? Photo courtesy of Janet Hilton I’m not done. I wasn’t so much bothered by my last diatribe as I was puzzled. And I realized that I’m not finished discussing this issue. People have been so supportive and I thank you all. When I first got into learning about aviculture I thought the welfare [...]

Get your Clawfoot Tub here… What is a bath tub? To make things simple let me just state that it is a container. It would contain its contents. In most homes, it is used to wash yourself. Most homes have a tub with a shower spigot over it. People often forgo the tub to soak [...]

As you can imagine, Juanita has taken on a life of her own here at Parrot Nation. I like her. She’s a tad bitchy, but she does tend to stick to her knitting, and her convictions. She says things I would never dream of saying. Well, except to Janet. But then we scream at each [...]

I am floored. I just don’t understand how people don’t understand. I am not going to say, “I have no words.” because I do. As you might have noticed, Parrot Nation is Land of the Cuisinart-Home of the Chop. It is where, for lack of anything else to write about, I wrote my first [...]

I get a lot of requests for a “Recipe” for Chop. I don’t give one. I don’t have one. I don’t recommend one. And here’s why. I believe parrots eat seasonally in the wild. They have to, don’t you think? I mean, it’s not like they’re squirrels hoarding food in a “parrot pantry” somewhere. They [...]

Long story but I’ll try and make it shorter. There is a fabulous blogger who goes by the name: The Bloggess. Her name is Jenny Lawson and she is one twisted sister. She’s an incredibly talented writer and funnier than hell. Irena Schulz turned me on to her with a link to a post about [...]

While I try to keep up with the forums and blogs about what the heartbeat of the avian world is up to, (meaning the average parrot owner just like me) I have a tough time keeping up with them all due to my schedule. I’m either flying for work, or flying to get somewhere to [...]

While there are millions of people who care for birds worldwide, the bird world is actually a fairly small community in the United States. And with the magnification and amplification abilities of the internet, the proliferation of social media, and search engines making good information within the reach of a single click, more and more [...]

I got back from the D.C. area after an incredible time last weekend with the Phoenix Landing Organization. A little background is called for here: I’ve known Ann Brooks since 2005 when we both attended the Natural Encounters Companion Parrot Training Class, or “Birdy Boot Camp” as I called it. Ann’s a tad on the [...]

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 [...]
