This beautiful English Budgie picture was submitted by my friend Louis Garwood for you to enjoy.

Generally, by the time your bird is showing signs of illness, he or she is already very ill. Birds hide their illness well.

My friend Louis Garwood sent me a picture of his new Waterslager Canary, Scooter JR, and I thought it would make a great jigsaw puzzle.

If you are wanting to get a bird for a pet because birds do not cost much, now is a good time to sit down to figure out what the costs actually are.

Two beautiful Gouldian Finches paired up for this jigsaw puzzle submitted by Terri Gennaccaro.

What do you do if you want to go on vacation and can not take your bird? Do you have a trusted bird sitter that you can call in this situation? Or do you just decide not to take the vacation?

A beautiful pair of Red Faced Parrot Finches allowed Terri Gennaccaro to take their picture and she then allowed me to use this picture for a jigsaw puzzle.

All parrots – large and small – love to play.

Jewel, my Congo African Grey Parrot posed in front of some Christmas wrapping paper so we could all have a jigsaw puzzle to work on.
