Share a cup of tea with your birds. Chamomile tea Share a cup of tea with your birds. Chamomile tea is soothing for anxious, nervous, or hormonal birds. Use full dried flowers as we use from herbco (the chamomile is back in stock!). Sharing it with your birds every evening before bedtime gives you both time to be together, a routine, and to get the best from herbs, it needs to be constant to build up in the system. Serve warm, not hot with no cream, lemon, or sugar. Learn how to make a cup of tea without bitterness, or water too hot by going to youtube. They have a couple of good videos on how to make tea. Please don't use teabags. The tea in them can be years old.

Hormone season is upon us. Did it ever leave? It Hormone season is upon us. Did it ever leave? It did. But all too soon, it is back. Here are a few things to think about while working on this season's strategy. One of our adopters, @precioustheparrot on instagram, uses a short handheld T-stand to encourage Bubba to step up without losing pieces of herself. She has also dedicated herself to learning how to read and talk "parrot" through Lara Joseph's Animal Behavior Center. She has been effectively managing a male amazon that was taught to have a mate bond relationship for his first 17 years of life. She is the exception, not the rule. The #1 reason birds are surrendered is due to hormones. Keep their sleep cycle the same if at all possible. They may not sleep the entire time, but it is good to give them their 12 hours in as dark an area as possible. Keep them busy as much as you can with a hands-off approach. Now, this is extremely important. Do not pet your bird down the back, under the wings, chest area. while you are watching tv and not paying attention. You can be encouraging your bird to protect you from other family members which can lead to flying, biting, and screaming birds. During their hormonal time, it would be prudent to keep Sugar in the cage during visits. Don't leave them out, just don't put them, your bird, in a position to feel they need to guard you, etc. It isn't fun to have a shagging cockatoo on the back of your neck no matter how the image makes you laugh.
We're so excited for tomorrow's Parakeet Party! D We're so excited for tomorrow's Parakeet Party! Don't forget to sign up to come and meet beautiful paired parakeets, needing loving homes, from 12:00 to 4:00pm.
