Routines: Feathered Frenzy

“I’ve always believed that small things make a big difference, and routines can go a long way in keeping you and your birds balanced during the busy holiday season. It’s some order in a universe of chaos that keeps us steady, calm, and at peace. Aren’t gratitude and peace what the season is about?” – Sherri

Long Term Relationships: Feathered Frenzy

Entering into a life with a companion bird is not to be taken lightly. We parronts know that it is a long term relationship we’re embarking on with our fid(s) and there will be challenges, just like in any long term relationship.

Sherri’s October 2023 Feathered Frenzy column opens our eyes to the challenges and endless rewards of bringing a feathered companion into your life.

Back on Track: Feathered Frenzy

in her April edition of Feathered Frenzy, Sherri reminds us parronts that birds are flock creatures that live in a community, and often times this is good for us too!

Our feathered companions have a way of reminding us about what’s good for them -and us!

Catch up with Sherri, Zack and Bubbles and see what similarities you can identify as things you do, and your birdies help you to, stay on track!

Multi-Species Flocks: Feathered Frenzy

Many of us parronts started began our adventure of living with birds with either just one fid or more than one of the same species. But eventually, many of us introduce a new species to our flock, often a larger species than the resident fid(s).

Sherri’s March ’23 Feathered Frenzy column highlights some of the challenges she and Rick had to address when they introduced conures and Quakers to their budgie Ollie.

Sherri offers some great suggestions on how best to introduce a new species into your flock, and how to prepare and protect existing members, especially those who represent smaller species like budgies.

Reactions to Resolutions: Feathered Frenzy

It’s that time of year, that first day of a new year when most of us parronts decide to make all-too-human ‘new year’s resolutions’. Whether or not we succeed in whatever we say we’re going to do or change, we need to always remember that whatever we do set out to do may have a negative effect on our birdies.

In her January ’23 Feathered Frenzy column, Sherri outlines how resolutions she’s tried to initiate had some unforeseen consequences for Zack and Bubbles.

Happy New Year Everybirdie!

Alleviating Anxiety: Feathered Frenzy

So many things in the home and outside can cause anxiety in our companion birds.

All About Feathers, Part 2 – Molting

Molting season is the process where our feathered friends shed their old and feather and grow fresh, new feathers – typically happening once or twice a year in most parrots. It’s usually after breeding seasons, and a common period for molts is in the spring and fall – Sherri Moorer

In Part 2 of her All About Feathers series, Sherri offers some great advice on ways we can help our birdie companions better manage and overcome this seasonal challenge.

All About Feathers, Part 1, Preening: Feathered Frenzy

This month, Sherri launches a three-part series on feather care, beginning with preening.

Preening is how a bird grooms its feathers to remove dust, dirt, and parasites, and to align feathers in the optimum position relative to adjacent feathers and body shape.

Head on over to our Feathered Frenzy page to read more about the art and trials of preening!
