To all of our extended flock, please remember with the ever increasing fires in California, make sure to be evacuation ready. Please, please be sure to have a plan and a back-up plan for you, and your family both human and animal. Travel cages, food and medications are vital for a speedy escape! Please be prepared and safe. You are all in our thoughts.

National bird day!!!

Did you know that January 5 is a National Bird Day?
A particularly important National Bird Day activity is education and bird adoption. If you admire parrots, please, don't breed, don't buy, ADOPT!
There are thousands of birds in many rescue organizations across the country, that are waiting to get their forever home.
Continue learning about your bird needs - proper care including a diverse diet, foraging, safe toys, suitable cage, daily routines including socializing, bathing, exercising, etc.
Remember, none of the parrot species have been domesticated - they are wild exotic animals in our homes and it is our responsibility to assure their healthy and happy life

As we head into the holidays please remember these things to keep your flock safe:
1 Lock them up before you cook
2 NO candles, air fresheners, non-stick/teflon pans
3 if you are able, keep them in a separate room. They are cute but they can fly, closed doors and a quiet space are better for everyone.
From all of us at For the birds, may all your holidays be peaceful and joyful.
