Homemade Birdie Treats

It's easy to make homemade treats for your birds...a little bit sticky and messy...but easy.

Watching Lovebirds on You Tube

Did I do a good job??

Pip's Toy Box

How to keep a lovebird busy when you're not around to play with him??? Here's an easy idea: one) clear plastic box(I got mine in the stationary section of the $ store(3/1$), two) little plastic lids from juice bottles(free) washed out, Three) nutiberries, seed, a peanut, four) various little toys, five)non toxic dyed craft sticks, six) layer items in the box placing edibles under and between other items. The birds see them and then figure out how to get to them. This ,of course, works for other birds too. Just make sure that the items are size appropriate.

Jazz the King of the Parrotlets

Nobody's going to notice me here!

Jazz is the first parrotlet we ever saw - and once we did he had to come and live with us. It was love at first sight. Now there are many parrotlets around. Back then there weren't. So whenever we had a rare sighting of parrotlets we always thought that they were so small-must be sick or something. We have since come to realize that Jazz is just a really big boy. We aren't sure why...he just is.

He says "pretty bird" and "who's a pretty bird?" and some other human words that are too fuzzy to understand. He also makes kissy sounds if I say "kisses". I've tried over the almost eight years to get him to say more words but-he won't =O)
