About Us
This blog is run by two people and the occasional guest poster. We started this blog because of our love of birds and a void we saw that needed to be filled. We want to provide you with solid information about what you’re getting into when you acquire a Parrot. It is no small task. Here’s our bio’s:

My obsession with Parrots started with a little Green Cheeked Conure who has a huge heart. His name is Pokey. Since then I’ve acquired two more Parrots by the name of Stella (named after my favorite beer) and Ziggy. Stella is a Scarlet Macaw who is by far the most gentle animal I’ve ever encountered. And Ziggy is a Rose Breasted Cockatoo (also known as a Galah). Here’s some pictures of the three stooges:

Hello Bird Lovers, my name is Kiril Poibrenski and I am very blessed to share my life and passion with these amazing creatures – The Parrots. I have been around them all my life, my father worked with birds, so that’s how I was introduced to them from an early childhood. I have worked with many different species , and I do believe they are all special. My love for the Parrots grows bigger and stronger every day. They have thought me how to understand them better, how to see their inner beauty. I am very lucky to be able to share my knowledge and passion for these birds through this website and truly hope that You will find it useful and helpful .

Many hand-fed babies, particularly greys, cokatoos and macaws, begin feather plucking during their second six months. Scenario goes something like this: As babies , these exceptionally intelligent birds are given huge amounts of attention and affection by their hand-feeders because they are absolutely adorable and are being raised to be perfect pets. They are then placed into their new homes, the adoration continues, but they are cuddled and spoiled by only a few people. About the time these birds who have known nothing but adoration and affection start to lose their cute baby ways, and their newness wears off. People in the household return to their normal routines. They play with the bird sometimes, but not as often nor as long as in the beginning. The bird asks itself; What went wrong? Don’t they like me anymore? The bird starts to fell rejected, confused and frustrated. A bored bird may turn to self-mutilation. Feather plucking starts. There is no particular way to prevent it, but providing an interesting life is a good way to start.

Interesting food, interesting toys, interesting activities and an interesting environment are essential to the healthy development of a bird’s mind and body. Keep the bird’s brain and beak involved in wholesome play and problem solving. This does not mean that you have to quit you job to stay home and play with the bird all the time. Actually, it’s better for the bird to have time alone to learn to play happily in its cage. Just make sure that the cage and food dish don’t contain the same old boring stuff day after day. you don’t have to hold the bird every minute that you are home, but talk to it, whistle , sing and include it in conversations and family activities. In other words, support the bird’s
physical and emotional security while challenging and amusing its intellect. An avian mind is a terrible thing to waste
