Donated by Dr. Greg Burkett, this veterinary handout covers the basics of avian first aid and helps pet bird owners prepare for emergencies.

Part of my job as assistant editor was to proofread the classified ads, which were the smaller ads in the back of the magazine. This is where one was most likely to come across an advertisement that was a bit more “unique,” and a couple of ads still standout in my mind in terms of “uniqueness.”  Laura Doering visits some products that you may or may not know existed!

Irene Pepperberg, best known for her work with an African grey parrot named Alex — whose intelligence was estimated as equal to that of a 6-year-old child — recently relocated her lab to Harvard, where she continues to explore the origins of intelligence by working with birds.

A research study done in 2009 by Drs. Klasing (avian nutritionist at UC Davis School of Veterinary Medicine) and Hawkins (board-certified avian veterinarian at UC Davis) using cockatiels as their model showed that Nutri-Berries provide a nutritionally balanced food.

To generalize, dogs are obedient, cats are independent and parrots … well, they can be downright manipulative. With a parrot you have a pet companion with the intelligence — and the mischievousness — of a young child, as well as one given the gift of gab, which, when put all together, can make for an interesting family dynamic. Here’s lighthearted look at the ways our feathered friends can rule our own roosts:  http://lafeber.com/pet-birds/5-ways-parrots-rule-our-roosts/
Stick Training Your Bird
Stick training is just like teaching the Step Up, but using a perch or dowel rather than your hand. For some birds, this may be the first kind of step-up training that you do; perhaps a bird is a little hand shy or prone to biting, but for most birds, stick training should come after hand taming.
Choose two or three different-shaped sticks or dowels, including at least one very long dowel. The idea here is that you may need to retrieve your bird from a high spot one day, and if he is stick trained, that will be a lot easier.
It is possible that your very friendly bird will take to stick training right away. Other birds may be fearful of sticks. That’s okay; you will just need to condition the bird to the presence of the sticks. Start by bringing the sticks into the room. Place them a few feet from the cage and leave them there for about a week. Then, move the sticks closer to the cage gradually, day by day, until they are right next to the cage. Once the bird seems comfortable with the sticks being nearby, move them to the top of the cage, or even inside the cage. Allow the bird to touch the sticks on his own if he chooses. Then, in a very gentle, comfortable moment, try to get your bird to stand on the stick. At this point, it shouldn’t be an issue.
Once you can get your bird to stand on the stick, use the “laddering” technique where you ask the bird to step up onto your hand, and then ask it to step onto the stick, then your hand, and so on, until it becomes like a game. Do this for a few minutes at a time a few times a day, but don’t make the exercise tedious for your bird. Once the bird is comfortable stepping up onto one type of perch or dowel, try other types with different colors and textures. Also, make sure that you don’t use a smooth dowel, a bird might be afraid to step onto a slick surface. Practice a few times a week to continue to reinforce the behavior.
With concerns about climate change, loss of biodiversity, and species extinction ever before us, one hardly knows how to help, have an impact, and ease one’s worry.  You can do all three by taking this short survey about Lafeber Conservation.

Please share this, and let people know that it's not okay to get cute spring animals for Easter unless they are completely committed. These animals live so much longer than a two-week Easter season.
