Tasty Tuesday - For the carb lovers!
Anything with pasta and birds is usually a hit, but we have to be careful about not carb-loading our birds. However, using carbs to get our birds to eat healthy is A-OK in my book! Whenever you are using less than ideal foods with intention, we are doing good stuff.A great change for this recipe is simply using whole wheat penne pasta and slicing them down the middle to stuff them or cutting them shorter so they're easier to stuff.Using pasta as a vessel for healthy foods is almost always a win. Another tactic is wetting the pasta slightly ...

BRAND NEW T-STAND ADDITION IS HERE!!
Hey everyone!! We have another super exciting new product for you all that is an addition to the t-stands you all know and love! We'd like to introduce to you...the Table Topper!!When we were designing our stand that we launched last year, we really wanted to focus not only on creating a very high quality stand that would be the perfect training tool, but we also wanted to make it modular so that it had multiple uses. For example, it can be easily taken down and packed into a normal carry-on sized bag, yet it can also transform into a 1 foo...
Another attempt at something...
I decided to try something different, but...

The 1st consultation was mostly regarding diet conversion ...
Videos Showing Up as Non-Existent
Hey patrons! I know a lot of you have been having error messages saying you can't see videos, or they don't exist when trying to watch within the Patreon App. I have no idea why this is happening but I have emailed Patreon to let them know about the issue and to get their help resolving it.So far, it seems to ONLY be isolated to happening with the App and not on Desktop so if you're able to use a laptop or computer of some sort to watch the videos, that should work in the meantime until we hear back about this app bug.Sorry for the ...
More of a Jinx update than Ava...

Tasty Tuesday - Foraging Tortilla!
This is such a fun recipe to play with because of the foraging element. Some of you struggle with feather plucking with your birds and so we want to give birds like that something that satisfies their texture-needs but isn't themselves! You can add all sorts of fun textures of foods into this from crunchy to soft, depending on what will get your bird diving in.You can also use large greens (like Swiss chard) instead of tortilla if that will be too filling for your bird, or you can use different types of tortillas too, but try to stay on the...
