Sneak Peak at September’s Feathered Frenzy – Allergies in Birds

zack 5-16-14 ACHOO! Oh dear, hopefully I haven’t gotten some of you rubbing your nose… AND beak. In the September issue of Feathered Frenzy, Sherri Moorer dispels the myth that birds don’t develop allergies.

Allergies are not unique to humans. Sherri describes some important ways parronts can ensure that their homes are clean and safe for both themselves (for allergies and asthma) and their companion birds with sensitive beaks!

September’s Feathered Frenzy will be out in a couple of weeks, but in the interim why not catch up on past articles! Happy reading!

There are 300 million fewer seabirds today than there were in 1950. Species such as Atlantic Puffins rely on fish to survive, but they often can’t find enough to eat. Stand up for the Forage Fish Conservation Act today: ow.ly/vvpt30oURML #SaveTheSeabirds

Feathered Frenzy: Bird Brains: They’re Bigger Than You Think!

Zack & Bubbs 4-2018 Sherri’s latest Feathered Frenzy article delves into the intelligence and perceptiveness of our parrot companions.

When someone says ‘bird brain’, they are actually describing a sentient being that can, and does, interact and react to their human and environmental surroundings in a way that is very similar to humans.

Sherri describes how Zack and Bubbles continually surprise and reassure her that they understand hers and hubby Rick’s struggles with life’s challenges – both in and outside the house.

Sherri’s article is a must-read for everyone living with a feathered companion.
