Distractions: Feathered Frenzy

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.

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!
