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.

Creating a Healthy Home: Feathered Frenzy

Our birdie companions mean the world – and then some, to us, and making sure they are happy and healthy is an ongoing, important task.

Sherri’s February ’23 Feathered Frenzy column offers mindful tips and tricks for all parronts to ensure we’re keeping our feathered kids as happy and healthy as possible.

Catch up with Sherri, Bubbles and Zack and perhaps check off your ‘healthy home’ boxes to ensure your fids are living their healthiest lives too!

Birthdays, Birdies & Bots: Beneath the Cage Grate

In his February ’23 Beneath the Cage Grate column, Morty finds himself enjoying new-found delights in a new seed mix while trying to figure out why older Village birdie neighbors are so darn grumpy. But, there’s a new birdie in town and Morty has some insights on his new neighbor!

The bots are (again) up to no good and Morty is trying to get invite to the upcoming BOTT convention!

Catch up with Morty for the whole scoop!

Happy New Year Everybirdie!

Cheers from Abby, Bubbles, Keito, and Zack (and their parronts too)!

Sweet Birdie Vindication: Beneath the Cage Grate

Games can be fun, especially during long winter nights. Add Alexa and some guest bots to a game of Hide ‘n Seek though and you have the ingredients for mischief… and (short-lived) birdie jail time…

Morty’s January ’23 Beneath the Cage Grate column will leave you laughing and worrying for our poor Morty, fooled again by his bot nemesis Alexa!

Happy New Year Everybirdie!

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!
