I am floored at how many toys and accessories I see at pet stores and online from pet suppliers. The possibilities are endless!
However, I completely understand how an exotic pet owner likes to spoil their special adopted friend! My hedgehog doesn’t even really play with toys, but I have a ton of them for her anyway, just in case…LOL…
But, I know from experience that exotic birds and parrots are very playful, intelligent and need constant mental stimulation.
When you get an exotic bird for a pet, these are the things you must think about purchasing.

Well, as I said yesterday, I went on vacation “Up North” in Ontario.
I was not prepared enough for these random sightings, but I will tell you exactly what I saw.
Firstly, where our cottage is, is between a marsh about 2 blocks away and the beach about 1 block away. This provides great chances of sighting interesting animals any time of year.
It’s spring time, so the Canada Geese are nesting in pairs…They stopped all traffic on the streets next to the marsh, as they believe it’s their “right of way”…LOL…They even frequent the lawns of the neighbors and just “hang out” [ ... ]

Amazon Rainforest Animals by Lucien Oliveira
Most of the world’s rainforests are located in Central and South America, West and Central Africa, and Southeast Asia. They are very wet areas near the equator that give true meaning to the expression “world of abundance”, an expression that reflects on the variety of rainforest animals. Brazil holds 30% of all tropical rainforests that remain on Earth, and they are represented by Amazonia.
The Amazon rainforest animals are part [ ... ]

Are animals getting smarter? Not long ago on Utube, I watched some amazing animal videos. In these videos you could see proof of the animal using cause and effect.
In one video, a raccoon was captured in a concrete cage, outside. The top of the cage was opened, but he was enclosed on all four sides. The raccoon, with a lot of effort, was able to lean a broken tree limb, which was lying in the bottom of his cage, in one of the corners of the cage. He then used the broken limb as a ladder and climbed [ ... ]

Oh, what joy to look out into your yard on a cold winter’s day and see hungry little birds enjoying the bounty you have provided. Not only have you given them a valuable food source but you have the benefit of watching them forage through the menu of the day while listening to their songs, chirping and chatter of their delightful, private birdie conversations.
How to get started:
Well, remember that once you start to feed, it is imperative [ ... ]
I see all of the beautiful, little birds outside and feel so badly for them that it is so bone-chilling cold out! Canada can be a very cold winter, as it is proving to be this winter!
If you are a bird lover, help out your little feathered friends and FEED them!
