Are you thinking of bringing home a new pet bird or know someone who is? Well have we got the deal for you... a team of us at Kaytee and some friends of ours from the industry, Barbara Heidenreich and Dr. Susan Clubb put together some great materials (if I don't say so myself!) to help new bird owners to start out on the right foot! This is also great information for adoption centers to hand out to people considering adoption. Our poor feathered friends tend to be shuttled from home to home and we're hoping to help educate people on the front end, we can help keep them in their home longer! We have a great video and printable materials for you...pass it on!
Bringing Birdie Home! Stay tuned, we'll hopefully have a Part II available in the future!

Poo happens!
When you have pets you just learn that poop happens...right?
Well we certainly know that around here and yet I think one of the "highlight, gross out" moments for all kids that visit the Learning Center is when a bird poops in the middle of a presentation! That gets almost as much reaction as when Smurf yells "help" or when Pepper plays the piano...only the reactions are a little different. It's pure laughter and glee when they see fun behaviors and it's pure disgust/laughter when they see a "poop happen".
I think the best was when Wasabi, our Green Aracari (thank you Jason!) pooped right on my shoe in the middle of the presentation...it was even hard for me to continue as if nothing happened...because the teacher of this group is a Professional Photographer, (Les Tension Photography) and he captured the moment perfectly!
Do you have any funny poo stories to share???? Come on, how many places can you talk about this topic and fit in! :)
Ok! I literally just finished writing this post when Jessica walks up to me with a big poo down the front of her shirt, again from Wasabi the Green Aracari (I almost felt like I willed this to happen to her!). But, we all may as well get a chuckle out of her bad luck! Sorry Jessica! :)
