Shown: Alexandrine Parakeet “Rasta” after a bath
I’ve had Rasta since 9pm on May 8th and I have to say – he threw everything I thought was going to work with him right out the window.
I prefer working with aggressive birds over terrified birds any day. Why? All you have to do is phase out the aggressive traits and triggers, but with terrified birds you have to work on the bird itself before you can …

Male eclectus parrot.
My male Eclectus Pepi, has been a flying nightmare lately. He has gone from being sweet, affectionate and talkative to being moody, unpredictable and often downright nasty. It happened overnight and hasn’t been accompanied by any of the usual signs of sickness.
Of all of my birds, it’s Pepi who seems to have the nastiest bite. He has this knack for getting a tiny bit of skin pinched in his beak. When something is wrong – he goes for my upper arm and …

Most recent photo of Odin, taken 11th May
Now 36 days old, Odin the raven chick is at the age he would fledge the nest if he was in the wild and is certainly behaving much more like a grown-up raven! The change in both his appearance and his also behaviour in such a short time has been astonishing. The heat lamp is no longer needed and he is now eating by himself! This type of bird, if allowed, would stay a baby forever and would accept hand-feeding …
