New Healthblocks!
We have enhanced our range a bit to add some more color and nutrition to your pet birds life. New ingredients such as beetroot, carrot and celery will certainly be a great addition to their diet. There will also be a Detox variety.

Our packaging has also been upgraded: a new 3-pack tin; plus we changed the fastener to a hanging device which also adds to the fun element of it all.

Also available in a refill tin without the metal stick.

A big heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been posting and discussing on our Facebook Group and Page – it is really great to have such a good community that grows on a daily basis.

How To Stop Your Parrot’s Biting

When your owner wants to stop your biting episodes, they first need to learn why you bite. When they realize that we are not actually biting but exploring, they simply have to train us to learn to what degree we can “examine” fingers. When we are “beaking” (not biting) they can reprimand you with a firm but gentle know “No” or tell you to go “Gentle”. They might also have to push their hand into your beak instead of pulling, since this will cause you to break your grip. If you are biting out of fear, they simply have to remove you from the stressful situation and avoid such situations next time. They must warn strangers to also not try to pet you or stick their fingers in your cage. But most of all you have to work with your owner and build the trust relationship that you have with them. It will help you so that you will not get easily frightened and be better adjusted. A good trust building exercise would be to start with the STEP UP command and progressing to more complicated tricks as the trust between you and your owner increases.

Till next time,
Charlie
