The whole world is one flock as we face the COVID-19 crisis together. Here at Bird Street Bistro, we're doing our best to help bird and parrot owners look out for their feathered companions.
The phrase, “you are what you eat,” has great implications when it comes to the health and well-being of your bird. When given food that nourishes the body and mind of a bird you can see your bird thrive, there’s no doubt about that
At Bird Street Bistro, all of our parrot food blends are made with different ingredient which may require different amounts of water and cooking times.
The bond that owners have with their parrots is complex and often intense. While it is hard to explain what a healthy bond with a parrot feels like, the same way it is hard to explain what a good friendship feels like, there are definitive ways that humans and parrots bond.
Maybe you have cats or dogs or other animals, and are thinking about getting a parrot. Maybe you have a parrot, but miss having a cat and wonder if your pets could get along. Maybe you have multiple pets already, and are wondering how they interact. In any case, it all boils down to one question; is it safe to have my parrot with other pets?
New surroundings and loud unfamiliar noises can keep a bird stressed and afraid. Which is why we need to understand some of the basic behaviors of a scared parrot, what could scare or stress a parrot, and lastly what we (as responsible bird parronts) can do to help.
Diet is indubitably one of the most important factors in keeping your bird healthy. Attention, care, and love are very important as well. We are fortunate that in the last few decades bird parents, researchers and avian veterinarians have learned more about parrots’ nutritional needs and how a captive bird’s diet differs from a wild one.
