Where all the bird news comes to roost!
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.
“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
Catch up with Sherri in her November ’24 edition of Feathered Frenzy and find out what you might be able to try to keep your household ticking along in a routine this upcoming holiday season!
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.
Every parront eventually realizes that, despite what we may think, our birdie companions train us just as much as we (think) we train them.
Sherri’s September ’23 Feathered Frenzy column describes the numerous, wonderful ways we can learn from our feathered companions while also gaining a better understand of what they’re trying to teach us – and yes – train us to do!
It’s been a HOT HOT HOT summer so far for many of us across North America and Europe. In her August 2023 Feathered Frenzy column, Sherri provides some much needed, practical tips for trying to keep you and your birdies as cool and comfortable as possible in this heat!
There are times when we’re not feeling up to snuff and need to just lay on the couch to recuperate. But what do you do to ensure your birdie companions are ‘entertained’ while you’re otherwise indisposed?
You need a distraction! Something that will keep your birdie’s attention and keep them occupied and stimulated when you can’t give them one-on-one attention.
Sherri’s July 2023 Feathered Frenzy provides a great range of ideas to distract and entertain your fids while you regain your strength (and possibly sanity too). Find out what Sherri’s birdie distraction strategies are and possibly adopt a few too.
Attachment style is one of many theories for human behavior, and the research is still developing. It’s helpful to understand how you bond with your birds and the mood you set for your relationship, your home, and your life.
