Festive Fall ZackIn this month’s edition of Feathered Frenzy, Sherri shares some tips and reminders on things to watch out for that may pose dangers and risks to our feathered friends over the upcoming Thanksgiving season (actually they are year-round dangers all birdies need to be protected from, but especially during the holidays).

Feathered Frenzy: The Gradual Emergence of Fall

Zack & Bubbs 4-2018Sherri’s October Feathered Frenzy article finds her pondering how everyone – humans, companion birds and wildlife, acknowledge and react to the changing seasons.

She notes that like people, both Zack and Bubbles recognize the changing seasons, with Zack paying particular attention to his  parronts’ changing eating habits, clothing choices and house decorations as Fall’s approaches.

Understanding how our companion birds react to seasonal changes occurring around them helps us parronts appreciate our feathered kids’ intelligence, keen senses and intuitive nature.

Beneath the Cage Grate: Never Trick or Treat with Bots!

IMG_20190918_132308In the October (Halloween) edition of  Beneath the Cage Grate, we find Morty, Alexa and Roomba donning costumes and setting out on their Trick or Treat adventure in their apartment building.

Now, you’d think these three would be welcomed at each door with a chuckle and a shower of candy, right?  Alas, as you’d expect, things go a bit sideways, and we find all three little ghouls scooting home in haste, quick to escape some rather weird and spooky encounters.

Be prepared to be scared – silly – in Morty’s Halloween column!  BOO

Feathered Frenzy: Allergies in Birds

Zack 7-16-13Sherri Moorer’s latest Feathered Frenzy article provides timely advice on what to do if you suspect your feathered companion is suffering from allergies. Yes, birds do get allergies, just like us!

After taking Zack to the vet and finding out he was suffering with allergies, Sherri shares with readers the vet’s advice on reducing Zack’s exposure to potential allergens.

Sherri shares some sound tips for ensuring our companion birds live in healthy environments where the air is as clean and free of air pollutants as possible.  As with asthma in humans, it’s important that you make sure your home is clean and healthy to keep everybody – and everybirdie – healthy, and happy!
