    Grapes

    Frozen grapes are lovely to eat in hot weather - like little ice lollies! You can also use them in your drink instead of ice cubes and they won't dilute your drink.

    Pet Bird Advice

    Are you sure you want a parrot? In my experience, other animals are more gentle, cuddly, reliable and predictable in their behaviour. A parrot is basically like having a noisy, messy toddler around who can also fly and has pliers/a canopener attached to their face (depending on the size of the...

    Safe Cookware

    Heard back from them and their ceramic cookware is safe! This was their response:

    Safe Cookware

    They're from here: https://www.procook.co.uk/shop/cookware/procook-ceramic - it's a different manufacturer which is why I contacted them to ask.

    Safe Cookware

    Brilliant, I was looking for baking/roasting trays myself. I've just sent an enquiry off to ProCook about their ceramic pans - they state they're PFOA-free but nothing about PTFE. I'll post when I hear back.

    Very Proud New Agp Owner Says Hello

    Welcome to the forum! I love the Natural Bird Co (http://www.naturalbirdco.co.uk/) for toys. Rosie may not have had many toys before so you could start her on some of the easier, softer materials like balsa. Karen is brilliant and very helpful so do get in touch with her if you want to talk...

    Getting Involved With Garden Birds

    Offer a variety of foods too - you can get fat balls with added insects that are popular with ours. Make sure you keep the feeders clean as otherwise they're a great way to spread disease. You get to know the birds - our garden has two robin territories, earlier in the summer we had a starling...

    Stinkie Has Passed

    I'm so sorry to hear this. Stinkie was such a character and you gave him a wonderful life full of adventures and love. The bond you shared was apparent to everyone here.

    Copper Beech

    Taking advantage of some downed branches - there's a nice length of copper beech, just wondering if that's bird safe after a good scrub with F10? I can't seem to find a list of bird-safe woods.

    My 12 Y/o Grey Won't Step Up Or Use Training Perch

    They're also pretty tasty - you should see the outraged looks I get when I eat them!

    My 12 Y/o Grey Won't Step Up Or Use Training Perch

    Almonds are our favoured bribery here. You can get pre-sliced ones used for baking - a much smaller treat, and they're easy to break in half if you want to reduce the treat size even more. Leia would LOVE it if I doled out whole almonds, but giving her sliced almonds is a good way of keeping the...

    Howdy!

    Worth noting that lories need a specialised diet of nectar and their poo can be quite runny! People do keep them as pets but I believe the majority are kept in aviaries.

    Things look a lot more normal today - thanks everyone for your advice! Guess coconut is off the menu for a bit.

    Nice to him surrounded by home comforts! I hope they help make him feel more at ease in a strange place.

    Another Poo Thread

    P15 pellets are coloured, yes. I'll be switching her to Tops when she's more settled here - just didn't want to overload her with a new environment, new people AND new food all at the same time! I'll change her cage liner to plain paper to better see what's going on and give her foods that I...

    Another Poo Thread

    Leia's just done a bit of a weird poo - greenish, wet and with watery urates. I've attached a photo - there are two big poos and the rest are from earlier this evening. She has eaten some coconut today which I haven't given her before, but otherwise her diet is all stuff she's had before (P15...

    Wing Clipping?!

    Just because someone's aunt is a vet doesn't mean that they're up to date on current debates and best practice. Sometimes the most ill-informed and stubborn are those who've had some exposure to whatever the issue is and think that's enough - I see it all the time in my field and it's an...
