Too soon to start thinking Harvest celebrations?

From "Cornucopia" spill out materials like balsa, raffia, vine, paper leaves, and wood beads to offer a bounty of chewing options for your bird!

When someone asks me if the parrots freak out when I change my hair, I can almost immediately take a photo proving no πŸ˜‰ I know some birds are more sensitive than mine, but Quibble especially is excited to check out my new style (and add his own finishing touches).

Not everything I do is for small birds! "Deciduous" is one of Ripley's personal favorites as it contains lots of chippable pine, basswood and hardwood leaves, and crunchy raffia and corn husk puffs. In red, yellow, and orange, it's perfect for these autumn days!

Just a bitty bird eating bitty bites of food πŸ₯° (Soaked seeds, crumbled bird bread, and some finely diced mixed veggies)

Sometimes simple really is better! "Jack" is a pod cup covered with a basswood square and balsa cube, making a simple but effective fall themed foraging toy perfect for small birds!

πŸ₯³ I've been able to restock some of your favorite natural perches, including the best selling 1/2" and 3/4" willow, as well as 1/2" poplar!

They get royalty treatment here - a soak in F10, an oven dry, and stainless steel hardware.

New this year for Halloween - Belfry! This toy is crawling with dozens of cardstock bats! At its center your bird will find palm finger traps and a balsa cube. Also available: Mini Belfry, for those on tighter budgets or with smaller beaks.

While I mostly have toys, I also have perches, including some seasonal ones like this "Pumpkin Patch"! The pumpkin on the end is great for holding treats or foot toys!

Two things: look at that blue blaze on Quibble's back 😍 Also, that tail makes it so hard to get a square-friendly photo πŸ˜‚

It may seem early, but in just about a month here in my area of Michigan, the leaves will start turning colors! 🍁I have mixed feelings. πŸ₯Ά

"Foliage" is loaded with cardstock leaves, with some mahogany, cork, and balsa at its base!

Clytie was in love with the sun god, and your bird will be in love with this! Made with your choice of balsa, 1/4" pine, or a mix of both. Sunflowers will be facing your bird where ever they go with this toy!

Balancing feeding a variety with food waste can feel like a really difficult challenge. My tip: Cut off a couple pieces from your veggies during dinner prep! Even better: some of the things we normally toss like green pepper seeds and carrot tops are usually readily accepted!

Ripley was born in 1999; I brought him home August 9th, 2018. So he's "officially" 26!

Nutters is a red squirrel made from soft 3/4" thick balsa or pine. In his paws he holds a mahogany pod "walnut" while he sits in a bed of raffia and leaves made of cardstock.

A bowl of shredded freeze dried veggies.

A bowl of shredded freeze dried veggies.

Freeze dried food is shelf-stable, lightweight, and nutrient-rich! While pricier than air-dried, it keeps color + texture and rehydrates fast. Great for busy mornings! πŸ”₯ Tip: Use it to soak up water in a thawed chop! My fave vendors: Texas Natural, Tweets Treats & Avian Organics. #BirdChopTips

A bowl of mixed dehydrated vegetables.

Dehydrated fruits & veggies are a shelf-stable, space-saving way to add variety to your bird’s diet! 🐦 Easy to DIY or buy, most nutrients are kept. Just watch out for added sugars. Great in emergencies or as enrichment! #BirdCare #ParrotTips

Sweet Treat is still one of my favorite summer toys! Made with balsa, this toy can be embedded with millet, beads, or a mix of both (or leave plain for maximum balsa carnage!)

A plate of whole fresh produce.

Fresh food has perks! 🌱 More nutrients like vitamin C, better taste & texture, and more variety than frozen. Great for picky eaters and enrichment. Grow your own for more control & savings. In the end? Use what works best for your flock! 🐦πŸ₯¦ #FeatheredFoodie #Parrots
