Where all the bird news comes to roost!
While they can be ‘noisy’ at times, one of the true joys of living with parrots and other companion birds is the beautiful and varied sounds they make, some just for their pleasure and some undoubtedly to get our attention.
Sherri’s October ’24 Feathered Frenzy column celebrates all of the joyous noises that emanate from Bubbles and Zack and explores the potential meaning and birdie mischief behind them.
Never underestimate a parrot!
Sherri’s latest edition of Feathered Frenzy addresses how clever, cute and mischievous our feathered companions can be. Bubbles and Zack keep Sherri and Rick on their toes and no doubt our readers’ fids do the same!
Catch up with Sherri and don’t be surprised if you see a lot of similarities between the behavior and antics of Bubbles and Zack and your little feathered mischief-makers too!
We admire them, we love them, but sometimes we parronts forget just how much our feathered companions give to us – unconditionally.
Sherri’s August ’24 Feathered Frenzy column is a salute to what Zack and Bubbles, and all birdies, bring to hers and Rick’s life on a daily basis.
What do your birdies bring to your life?
We’ve all been there, our sweet companion birdie all of a sudden decides to give us the cold shoulder, or nip, conceivably out of nowhere and out of character.
They’re in a funk for some reason, and it’s up to us parronts to understand whether it’s something we’re doing that is impacting their behavior – such as being busy with work and not providing the attention our fids want and deserve.
Sherri’s July ’24 edition of Feathered Frenzy explores how parronts can better recognize changes in our feathered companion’s behavior and/or lack of response to our presence and how we can mend the relationship.
Parrots are long-lived creatures, and their presence in our home adds so much colour, fun, laughter and reflection. But because our companion birdies are long-lived, we shouldn’t take their longevity for granted and not provide them with the nutrition, stimulation and interaction that will ensure their life is filled with as much love and respect as possible.
Sherri’s June ’24 Feathered Frenzy column celebrates Zack and Bubble’s milestones in the household and what’s necessary for keeping both happy and healthy.
In her April ’24 Feathered Frenzy column, Sherri explores, “what human characteristics and traits do you bestow on your avian companions? It might be interesting to consider how much you see them as you see yourself”.
Catch up with Sherri, Zack and Bubbles to find out how personalities and traits find there way into imaginative writings and musings.
How do you ‘entertain’ your feathered companions? Do you sing to them? Make up silly songs? If you do, you’re not alone.
In her March ’24 Feathered Frenzy column, Sherri shares some of the playful and sometimes silly songs she has created for Bubbles and Zack!
Do you ever wonder why your companion birdie does some of the things it does? Bird behavior is complex and diverse across species, and for parronts, sometimes our feathered friends do things that are quite perplexing. .
Sherri’s February ’24 Feathered Frenzy column provides a lot of great insights and advice on how we parronts can better understand the behaviors of our feathered companions.
The New Year is about new beginnings, but sometimes inspiration can be found in reviving things that brought you joy. How about considering things you can bring back in 2024, for both you and your parrot, to enhance your joy in new, creative ways.
Sherri’s new year’s Feathered Frenzy column asks us parronts to think about what we could ‘reinvent’ or resurrect in 2024 with our fids that will bring both them and us joy.
Happy New Year Everybirdie! All the best to all our feathered and human followers in 2024!
Do your parrots get excited over the holidays? Zack certainly does! Somehow he knows it’s Christmastime even before all the decorating and festivities begin.
In Sherri’s December ’23 Feathered Frenzy column, catch up with Zack and Bubbles to find out how they approach the holiday season.
As Sherri says, the best gift for us is to see our companion birdies healthy, happy, and enjoying life.
