Do you enjoy running around the floor? We do! Of course, there aren’t any four-legged animals living with us.
We had a nice little adventure wandering around the floor this morning. That is, until we heard some birds calling outside and decided it was best to return to the safety of the bird room as soon [...]

The floor!

Do you like going outside?
The weather outside has been absolutely beautiful lately!
I really like going outside and feeling the breeze ruffle through my feathers. It’s true that there are some weird things outside. Flying insects do not impress me. I’m wary of the other birds outside, too, even though I enjoy watching them through the window.
Gillie and I are [...]

Kings 502 playstand reviewed
Gillie and I haven’t been posting much recently, and apologize for that.
We’ve actually moved to a different place with our human. For some reason, she’s not as interested in drilling a lot of holes in the ceiling to recreate our play room. But, at least she bought us a Kings 502 play gym and hung [...]

I proved pionus can be louder than jenday conures! Yes I did!
I spent yesterday with Michelle at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences. She and two other nice ladies were volunteering at a booth about parrots for Phoenix Landing. The theme of the day at the Museum was “A Day in the Tropics.”
There was a jenday conure there. For a little bit, he was making a [...]

If you are on Facebook, find out if you are “like” Django or Gillie!
There’s now a quiz on Facebook you can take to find out if you are most like Django, Gillie or Masti (the senegal who lives with us.)
So far, the two humans who have taken it who live with pionus parrots both ended up being most like Masti, the senegal! This cannot be! There must be [...]

The Babble Ball
The hanging babble ball is awesome! Sometimes I battle it and it must die. Sometimes I’ll just go up to it and nudge it. It makes a number of noises and is very cool!
It’s a toy that is kept outside my cage so we can all play with it. I play with it most, though.
I’ve [...]

I am six years old today!
Today is my hatch day! Six years ago, I hatched at an aviary in Florida. I traveled a bit before coming to live with Michelle.
Because today is a special day, I’m getting extra treats and new toys! Gillie and Masti are, too, actually. That’s okay with me because I’m not above foraging for their leftovers. [...]

Going to the vet
Django: Going to the vet is a very important part of a pionus’ life. We both go to the vet every six months. We have our annual exam, which includes a “Complete Blood Count” (CBC) and a physical exam. Signs of papilloma are one thing our vet checks for in our physical exam. He recommends [...]

Training humans to give treats
Fellow parrots, I must say I have figured out a really simple way to train your human to give you treats! All you have to do is play this little game with them. Let them ask you to say or do something, and then respond by saying or doing something wonderful. You’ll know it’s wonderful [...]

“Gentle”
I admit it. I get very excited when I see macadamia nuts and almonds.
Sometimes fingers get in the way and I accidentally pinch Michelle trying to get to the treats.
So, we have a new game we’re playing right now. Sometimes we play it while I am inside my cage, and sometimes we play it when [...]
