Competition results!

Sarabi came in 9th place in the Performance, Agility and Obediance class on Interdressage.com, competing against llamas, cats, dogs, pigs, goats... you name it! So she won a gorgeous little pink rosette. The judges loved her, but thought the performance was a bit short - it was as long as Sarabi would agree to, haha! If you own a parrot, especially a grey, you know that they have a mind of their own and can be a bit stubborn. If they do not want to do it, then it can be a real challenge! I was glad we could film a "show" at all. In the Christmas photo competition she came in 10th place of around 60 entries, winning a cute purple rosette, with the photo "Christmas Tree":

So I am a very proud "mommy"; my little ball of feathers winning her first prizes ever and contributing to charity at the same time. Grey't!

Harrison's Bird Bread - your bird will love it!

I made a huge order from www.northernparrots.com the other day where I ordered some Harrison's High Potency Coarse pellets and Harrison's Bird Bread. The Bird Bread was mainly ordered to offer a tasty, and healthy, treat for Sarabi a little now and then (maybe once a week) and also to make the conversion to Harrison's pellets a bit easier. So far she has not taken a liking to the pellets, but she absolutely loved the bread that I baked for her today. She even dug after the crumbs that were left in the bowl with her feet; something that she hasn't done before and shows how much she loved it! I also added some carrot and Parrot Palm Fruit Extract (nutrition from the palm nut, which is a natural diet for African Grey parrots in the wild - Sarabi absolutely loves these nuts aswell!).

If you do not feel like spending the money on Harrison's Bird Bread, since it is kind of pricey, take a look at the Bird Muffin recipe I posted earlier in this blog. A cheaper alternative which your bird will also love (most probably)!

So, what are you waiting for? Heat up the oven and start baking for your bird!
