Where all the bird news comes to roost!
Parrots tend to bond strongly with one human. Sherri points to an article titled “The 60-40 Rule” that sums up this unique bond within a multiple-person home. In this relationship, you learn quickly which side of the equation you fall on!
Check out Sherri’s June ’25 Feathered Frenzy column and learn how, if you’re in such a household, you can establish your own unique relationship with your feathered companion.
Apologies to Morty for the delay in uploading his New Year’ Beneath the Cage Grate column!
Catch up with Morty and the crazy bots and find out the challenges his mom has had and how Morty is trying to aid her and ward off pesky Alexa!
The new Alexa is shaking things up at Morty’s house, and she’s claiming something about Morty, Squirt and all birds that has sent shivers down Morty’s feathers.
Catch up with Morty, Squirt and the bots in our latest edition of Beneath the Cage Grate and decide for yourself whether the new Alexa is going to be an even more formidable pain in the birdie butt than the former Alexa!
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.
A day out on the water, in a boat, with Squirt and the bots… what could possibly go wrong?

While we may speak ‘human’ to our companion birds, they often respond back in ‘human’ language too. Sometimes they get syntax wrong, or say something off color at inappropriate times, we should never underestimate the level of which parrots in particular understand what we say and mimic it back to us.
Sherr’s May ’24 Feathered Frenzy column provides a glimpse into how she, Zack and Bubbles interacted and worked through a stressful time recently. Talking with one another, across species, is not as lost in translation as non-parrot owners may think!
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.
All eggies are not created equal – especially Easter eggs!
Catch up with Morty, Squirt and the gang in the April ’24 edition of Beneath the Cage Grate to read all about this year’s Easter escapades!
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.
