Treat your parrot with a treat

Sarabi enjoying a cracker, or "gnaw stick." It is a stick filled with delicious seeds and other treats that can be hung from the cage bars. Your parrot will love it and empty the stick in no time at all! Think of it as a kind of "candy cane" for parrots. So when you're feeling generous: treat your parrot with a cracker treat (just not too often as it contains more "tasty" and fattening foods than the general parrot diet ;).

New cage for christmas!

For christmas I decided to buy a new, better and larger cage for Sarabi. I just received it today and recently finished putting it up. Sarabi is super happy with it and felt comfortable with it from the start. Straight away she started preening her feathers and eating peanuts from the food bowl on the "top branch." You can see the difference between the old and the new cage in the photo underneath:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! :)
