			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Beak watering Birdie Thirty Cooked Bird Food usurps the competition! </strong></p>
<p><img src="http://www.birdsupplies.com/v/vspfiles/photos/KKBT8-2.jpg" alt="Birdie Thirty Bird Food" align="left" title="Delicious Birdie Thirty Bird Food" />Our SEVEN PARROTS devour this delicious cooked bird food! <strong>Birdie Thirty Cooked Bird Food</strong> has combined the top 30 healthy bird food ingredients into a simple to prepare cooked bird food diet that not only entices pet birds and parrots to eat a healthy diet but makes it easy for us pet bird parrot people to offer advanced nutrition to our pet birds.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_600" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 286px"><a href="http://parrotquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/JWP-Bowling5.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-600" title="JWP Bowling" src="http://parrotquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/JWP-Bowling5.jpg" alt="JWP Bowling5 Parakeet Sized Bird Trick Toys" width="276" height="288" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Small Parrot Bird Trick Toys</p></div>
<p>Imagine little Parakeet, Cockatiel or Lovebird shooting hoops like a pro!  Or, bowling a strike?</p>
<p>Most bird trick toys are made for medium to  large parrots.   But, we&#8217;ve found a new source for petite and small bird trick toys.  Basketball, Bowling and Skeetball.  Gosh, your small pet bird just might make the Parrot Olympics cut!</p>
<p>Parrotlets, Parakeets, Cockatiels and Lovebirds can be trained to perform tricks just like their larger cousins.  Most people underestimate these tiny, little parrots since they are designated as &#8220;beginner&#8221; birds.  All that really means, is that small pet birds and parrots are not only better domesticated, they of a size that makes troublesome instinctual behaviors  much more tolerable!  Chatter, nipping and mess.</p>
<p>But, these little pet birds are still pretty darn smart.  Did you know that the American Parakeet is one of the best talking parrots around?  Or, that the loving Cockatiel is not only a cuddler, but a wonderful whistler and companion.  Whatever the species, birds and parrots survive best in a flock.   Pet parrots and birds see their guardians as their flock.  A well loved parrot that is properly trained using positive bird training techniques will come to crave performing tricks on command simply to entertain and bond with YOU.  No matter the size of the little fellow.</p>
<p>That is why we find these new bird trick toys so important.  Yes.  These bird trick toys are affordable.  But, more importantly, this new line of bird trick toys helps the pet bird guardian / owner to experience an unimaginable bond with their pet.  And, what more could you ask for a small $5.00 investment?</p>

<p>One of my latest reads, ALEX &amp; ME, was over-whelming in terms of my enthusiasm for animal parrot research but it is  also a love story.   I imagine that if you love parrots, you&#8217;ve heard of Alex, the African Grey Parrot.   Dr. Pepperburg has  painstakingly devoted her entire life to show the world that animals are more intelligent than anyone has EVER imagined.  (<strong><a href="https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_flow&amp;SESSION=_uGuInuZ2Wnxdsgbvd5dl34zQgnYRKdsLEzCQQr308O1kUFXdyZrp8MOH-q&amp;dispatch=5885d80a13c0db1f22d2300ef60a6759516e590e949da361e9502e138eefdd27">DONATE HERE</a></strong>)</p>
<p>Dr. Pepperburg&#8217;s research is part of a growing mound of evidence that parrots and many other wildlife are intelligent and cognitive creatures with the ability to communicate.<br />

<p>One of our favorite bird stands is the <a title="Java Tree Bird Stand" href="http://www.birdsupplies.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=KCJAVA2MD" target="_blank"><strong>Floor Length Java Tree</strong></a><strong>.</strong>  Talk about giving your parrot an enriching, jungle like experience!  This bird stand is impressive from the tray up.  The tray is braced well and is very sturdy.  Four swivel casters enhance mobility.  The actual tree arrives in two parts that attach with with steel pegs.  Assembly is a breeze and once assembled, this bird stand is not only sturdy it&#8217;s down right attractive! </p>
<p>I&#8217;m planning on customizing my <a title="Java Tree Bird Stand" href="http://http://www.birdsupplies.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=KCJAVA2MD" target="_blank"><strong>Java Tree Bird Stand</strong></a>.  Firstly, I plan to paint the inside tray surface with  Rubberized Paint available at most large hardware stores.  While I&#8217;ve never done this before, I&#8217;m hoping that it makes the bird stand tray less prone to wear from acidic bird droppings and easier to clean .  Next, I plan to attach one or two <a title="Lixit Cups and Bird Stands" href="http://www.birdsupplies.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=KCJAVA2MD" target="_blank"><strong>Lixit 10 oz. Lock Down Cups</strong></a> to the tree.  Finally, I&#8217;m planning on adding foraging features like those shown on our <a title="Captive Foraging and Bird Stands" href="http://www.birdsupplies.com/Captive-Foraging-p/cf-dvd.htm" target="_blank"><strong>Captive Foraging DVD</strong></a>.</p>

<div id="attachment_375" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 254px"><img class="size-full wp-image-375" title="FUN 218M" src="http://parrotquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/FUN-218M.jpg" alt="Go Nuts Foraging Bird Toy" width="244" height="288" /><p class="wp-caption-text">Go Nuts Foraging Bird Toy</p></div>
<p>The <strong><a title="Go Nuts Bird Toy" href="http://www.birdsupplies.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FUN+218M" target="_blank">Go Nuts Bird Toy</a></strong> is a refillable, foraging toy for parrots.  Made from 100% cotton rope, vegetable leather, and peanuts, this 5&#8243; x 4&#8243; bird toy is great for medium to large parrots that love to forage and untie knots. Leather patches have holes that reveal peanuts. But, your parrot has to think and work in order to get at the treats!</p>
<p>To refill, just untie the cotton rope and place nuts inside.</p>
<p>What&#8217;s so great about this bird toy, you ask?  It makes your parrot forage!  Foraging is when your parrot has to use it&#8217;s natural, inate behaviors to get at a desired item.  In the wild, parrots have to literally problem solve in order to get a meal.  With <a title="Go Nuts Bird Toy" href="http://http://www.birdsupplies.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=FUN+218M" target="_blank">Go Nuts</a>, your parrot has to problem solve how to get the peanuts.  Untie knots, squeeze peanuts through the holes, etc.  Wanna make it harder?  Get some stainless steel screws and nuts at your local hardware store for your parrot manipulate.   Or, put a larger, harder shelled nut inside!</p>
<p>We suggest that you purchase extra leather strips if your parrot is like Peachy who loves chomping through leather.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="attachment_314" class="wp-caption alignright" style="width: 260px"><a rel="attachment wp-att-314" href="http://parrotquest.com/2009/08/stop-scrubbing-bird-cages-now/aviclean/"><img class="size-full wp-image-314" title="AviClean" src="http://parrotquest.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/AviClean.jpg" alt="AviClean Bird Cage Cleaner" width="250" height="224" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">AviClean Bird Cage Cleaner</p></div>
<p>With AviClean No-Rinse Aviary and Bird Cage Cleaner, you&#8217;ll be able to quit scrapping and scrubbing cages and cut your bird cage cleaning time in half. No joke! This exclusive, bird safe, effective dual enzyme formula helps remove bird droppings for you. So, instead of spending hours cleaning up after your bird, you can spend time enjoying and bonding with your parrot.</p>
<p>Just shake AviClean and spray on effected areas. In about one minute, the enzymes break down your parrot&#8217;s poop and food splashes so that all you have to do is wipe the cage down. Because AviClean is made from natural enzymes, you don&#8217;t even have to rinse your cage. In fact, the natural enzyme residue may minimize future bird cage corrosion. This safe, economical and effective formula leaves your bird cage clean and smelling fresh. We use it on the floor for little parrot mishaps and even on furniture. Always test a sample of fabric before applying AviClean to large, exposed areas.</p>
