Collabs in the works + new projects!
Hi toucans+!I have some exciting things in the works I want to share with all of you...First, this month when I go to Pahrump, NV to train a new bird outside for the first time (eee!!!)

Can we train a budgie?!
I get asked a lot why we don't show more SMALL birds, like budgies and parakeets, in our videos. And the truth is, we don't have a lot of our clients willing to spend the money on the much smaller birds to attend classes, workshops and in-homes. But this time... we did and it was a very interesting case.We struggle hard to make progress in a single day when clients don't follow our food recommendations (the healthiest diet of our nutritional feeding system in the morning followed by our cold pressed pellet at night and not feeding r...

So I guess this is what they mean when they say things happen in 3’s? 😭We are all safe, but the turkey did not make it.

RIP Dan Womach
I was going to film a video explaining, but I can't bring myself to do it. So this is the next best I could offer.We are going to be temporarily stopping our Bird Tricks Tuesday video series, and replacing it with our Vet Series. You were receiving 1 BTT episode per month, you will be receiving 2 episodes of the vet series per month through the end of February. Hopefully by then we will be ready to re-visit filming BTT episodes again.Dave's dad passed away peacefully in his sleep last night. Dave flew out yesterday morning from tour to ...
Meet Soya the Miligold Macaw
Our newest freeflight student!
If you’re wondering where the Birdtricks Tuesday video is...
We’ve had some baaaaaaad weather and unforeseen auto circumstances get in the way of filming this month. Will try to still get the BTT video filmed and out this month but right now, it’s looking like the latest Tuesday of the month possible! (I’m literally posting this from the side of a dark highway waiting on a tow truck.)

Family Friday (Daddy-Daughter Date!)
She's an Idahoan through and through...
Thanksgiving Mush Recipe (Tasty Tuesday!)
This recipe calls for:- 2 sweet potatoes (peeled, steamed)- 3 bananas (peeled as normal or peeled and frozen chunks if your bird likes that texture!)- 2 cups brown rice (We used 1 cup brown rice, 1 cup wild rice)- 15oz pumpkin (you can use fresh pumpkin, but because we made this in the wrong season, there were none!)We hope your birds enjoy this one as much as ours did!
