Re: When do ring necks start bluffing stage?

I have also heard that they start bluffing between 4 months and 1 year, I suppose it depends on the bird

Re: Creative ideas?

Ooops one more thing, I use this site to get all my bird toy parts, you can make lots of fun toys for your bird with the money you pay for just one toy at a pet store.

Re: Creative ideas?

Re: no paper rolls!

I love all of the creative ideas, great cage pictures too. I only have one negative thing to mention, and I hesitated because of all of the good creative vibes going on in this post but… The paper towel and TP rolls are a no no. The glue used to make them contains zinc, very bad for birdies. I use ...

Herbs??

My budgie enjoys a range of home grown herbs and as we are moving soon we can't take our garden with us.

I was wondering...
