    Does anyone know where I can find the toy ‘tickle tickle wiggle wiggle’? Besides the millennia one on amazon.?

    Question by Mikayla M.: Does anyone know where I can find the toy ‘tickle tickle wiggle wiggle’? Besides the millennia one on amazon.?
    It moves and makes noise when you squeeze its hand or stomach I don’t remember.. I don’t want to really get the millennia one, and a blue one would be best, but if i can even get any other color of the classic ‘tickle tickle wiggle wiggle’ that’s be great, thanks for comments

    They have them on E-bay, but not in blue. You can find their listings at:

    http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=tickle+tickle+wiggle+wiggle&_sacat=See-All-Categories

    The last blue one on E-bay sold for quite a bit of money.

    Other than E-bay, I only know of the Millennia one being available.

    Toy Poodle – the Facts Every Owner of This Dog Breed Should Know

    The Toy Poodle is one type of the breed of Poodle. There are three types of Poodles: Toy, Miniature and Standard, each type denoting a size. Poodles are considered gun dogs, for their bird hunting skills and ability in water. Though some dispute the claim, France is officially recognized as the origin of the Poodle. The Toy Poodle lives an average 12 to 15 years. To be considered a Toy Poodle, its size can only be up to 10 inches with a weight of 6 to 9 pounds.

    Toy Poodles are considered intelligent and are among the easiest to train. Without consistent training, Toy Poodles will become willful, independent and may bark a lot. Toy Poodles like to be around people, but can be reserved among strangers, making them good watchdogs. Some Toy Poodles are known to be high strung and will snap. For this reason, it is important to socialize a Toy Poodle early and to exercise caution around small children. This does not mean that a Toy Poodle does not make a good family pet. Toy Poodles tend to be loyal to their families and some are good with children. This breed has a lot of energy, but does not demand a lot of exercise, making it a good choice for apartment dwellers.

    ]]>

    It is a good idea to exercise a Toy Poodle at least once a day to alleviate any boredom that might occur. The familiar curly coat of the Toy Poodle grows constantly and must be clipped every four to six weeks to maintain it. Failure to maintain the coat can result in matted fur that can only be removed with scissors. The familiar ‘Poodle Cut’ was actually important for the dog when it was used for hunting. The cut helped protect vital joints and organs in the cold water. Now the clip is not necessary and many owners opt for an all around short cut.

    There are a variety of coat colors for Toy Poodles and the coat tends to be relatively shed free, making them a good choice for allergy sufferers, though they will create dander. There are health concerns that exist with this breed. Toy Poodles are prone to ear infections, runny eyes, digestive tract and heart disorders, skin conditions, slipped stifle, PRA (Progressive Retinal Atrophy), IMHA (Immune Mediated Hemolytic Anemia), cataracts, entropion, epilepsy, inverterbral disc degeneration, Legg-Perthes, patellar luxation, trichiasis and urolithiasis.

    There is a website that has great information on Toy Poodles and most other breeds of dogs. It has details that pertain to a dog breeds health, grooming, living conditions, best food choices and more, the website is called: Dog And Cat Facts, and can be found at this url:

    Does anyone know how to keep a Blue and Gold Macaw Quiet?


    Category: Forum

    Question by phoenixofthewhiteburningtree: Does anyone know how to keep a Blue and Gold Macaw Quiet?
    I’m having a rough time with my Blue and Gold winged Macaw. He’s very friendly and loves to be around people as long as he’s with me of course. But that’s the problem, it’s when I’m not around. Every time I go somewhere or leave to do something he screams. I can tolerate when he gives a few yells when I leave or when I put him to bed or maybe a few screams while I’m gone but not the whole time I’m gone. Lately when I’ve been away I come home to find out he has been yelling non stop. And I know he wants attention but I can’t always give him attention. I go to school and I’m not always home but when I get home I hear it from my family that he was screaming and they weren’t successful in calming him. I’ve had countless complaints from the neighbors of his screaming and today was my last straw. And sad to say if he doesn’t quiet down I’m going to have to get rid of him. Which I really don’t want to do, but it’s getting really out of control.Toys isn’t a problem. I’m just out of ideas.HELP!

    Does anyone know anything about zinc poisoning in birds?


    Category: Forum

    Question by freswood: Does anyone know anything about zinc poisoning in birds?
    My lorikeet has been having seizures. The vet has narrowed down the cause to either epilepsy or zinc poisoning, and the test results are coming back in a week. In the meantime, can you tell me all you know about it? Here are the facts:

    - he’s ~1 year old
    - I got him from another owner 2 months ago. He came with a cage (covered in enamel, but might be zinc).
    - Some of his toys have metallic parts. They are all specialised bird toys, so I assumed they would be safe.
    - His food bowls came with him. They look like they’ve been scoured down, and are magnetic. Could that the the cause?

    It would be great if anyone could tell me how to distinguish between zinc and, say, aluminium. I don’t want to take all his toys away. Thanks for your help, this is so stressful and I’ve been very upset.

    Answer by kurci_kurtis
    Don’t get upset about it, but hes probably going to die. I’m not an expert but i would check on the intenet what may give him poisoning, But i know it is very upseting, i currently have 37 pets (no fish) and ive losted about 5 animals in my life.

    Does anyone know how to make toys for an African grey?

    Question by Mushi: Does anyone know how to make toys for an African grey?
    I might buy an african grey and i was wondering does anyone know how to make home-made toys for him (if i get him).

    Best answer:

    Answer by thornezoo
    Truthfully, parrots can destroy just about anything you make and you don’t want to risk the toy containing something that may poison him or the bird being able to break off small bits he can choke on. I wouldn’t risk doing the home made thing. If you get toys from the pet store they will last quite awhile as they are made from extremely hard woods, safe dyes and appropriate materials.

    It isn’t from a web page, it’s from a book, (which is even better) put the toys close to the cage, but not in it so that s/he gets used to it. Then, when it seem interested, move it into it’s cage. Remember to rotate the toys in your bird’s cage so it doesn’t get bored.

    What You Should Know Before Buying A Pet Parrot

    Parrots are great animals. In fact, as a pet, parrots can be pretty entertaining especially with children who just love their mimicry. But like other kinds of pets, parrots are not all sweetness and light. They can also be a bother especially when you are not really much into pets.

    Here are some things that you have to take into consideration before buying a parrot for a pet. Read on and think long and hard about each item. Remember that parrots are not exactly cheap. Once you buy them, you won’t have any choice but to take care of them.

    1. Parrots are noisy

    Mimicries may seem cute for a while but after several weeks of non-stop noise, it would eventually become a bother. If you are the kind of person who values your peace and quiet at home, parrots are not the pets for you. Their songs are not the same as the musical sounds that some birds make. The larger the parrot bird that you have, the louder the sound that they will produce.

    Do you know that they can even scream so loud, you’d be running for cover? Your neighbors will even hear it. A normal parrot will probably scream at least two times a day. A screaming match will probably last for about five to fifteen minutes.

    2. Parrots love to play with things

    Remember that parrots cannot tell the difference between a wooden toy that they are allowed to play with and a priceless wooden furniture that your great great grandparents bequeath you. They can chew at it and you won’t be able to do anything about it.

    And sometimes, they won’t even be content with furniture. They can also chew computer and electric cords, books, papers and virtually everything that they can get their claws on. Wallpapers, clothes can also be clawed on. So, be very careful.

    3. Parrots can bite

    They may seem docile creatures but they are actually not. Parrots can bite and they can claw. Even small birds can do this like the parakeet. And this is not just the ordinary bite that will not result to a big wound. They can actually draw blood and rip the skin.

    Some who bite really hard can even break the small bones. This is not to say that parrots are mean creatures. They are just scared of people they do not yet know. Their defense mechanism is of course to bite.

    Everything you need to know about a parrot cage and bird toys

    You’ve moved in with your best friend from college, and she keeps saying how nice it would be to have a bird. She leaves parrot pamphlets on the coffee table. And what about the time she kept you at the pet store for an hour watching a silly parrot when you were ready to go to the food court? But she’s a flight attendant and is gone more than she’s home. You’re working a regular nine to five job. You’ll be the one to see to the bird’s care. You’re not worried about the money, but what does a parrot need to be happy? You know you’ll need a parrot cage as a first step, but what kind of cages work best?

    A metal parrot cage is the most cost effective and the easiest to clean. Your friend will want to make sure that no wires are sticking out. She will also have to see to it that her parrot can’t get its head through the bars of the cage. Parrots like a square parrot cage, so that they can curl up in a corner. You and your friend are going to want to put several perches around the cage so that the bird can get its exercise.

    You and your friend will also have to consider food and water containers. Stainless steel is the best material for these containers because they are the nearest to sterilize. Especially for larger parrots a water bottle might be considered. And the water bottle could be used for yet another perch. You will want to rearrange the perches every month or so.

    Believe it or not, birds are very intelligent animals that need mental stimulation. That’s where bird toys come in. bird toys keep your bird from getting bored while in their cage. You will need to take the parrot out a couple of times a day to play with it. But toys will give the bird things to do while you’re out and about. Birds enjoy mirrors; just make sure the mirrors have no sharp edges or anything that might hurt the bird. These pets also like wooden balls, don’t let them have anything that might have toxic paints on it. Parrots like puzzle toys. They have even more fun when you put food or treats in the puzzle toys. Birds even like to play with old toilet paper rolls. Ask your pet store salesperson, as they will likely have some advice for you as well. Remember to rotate toys frequently as well.

    Having a parrot can be a very rewarding experience if you give them what they need. You will find yourself enjoying your pet more and more. So go out and find the right parrot cage for your place. Get some bird toys. And voila! Your best friend and her new bird will be happy. And so will you!

    Shop and buy a small, medium, or large parrot cage for you pet parrot and pet birds. All types and sizes of parrot cages and bird toys are available for your pet birds.

    Getting to know bird cages and bird toys

    You took the first job you were offered out of school. You don’t love it or hate it. It just pays the bills until you decide what you want to do in life, or meet someone. But the rumors have starting flying that your company needs is to trim down. You know that the rumors are likely true, especially in this economy. You try to do well in your work and know your bosses are pleased. You don’t know that you are going to get the ax. However, you’re getting pretty bored of going to work, coming home and having nothing to do. So you decide to slowly start a parrot business. You loved your pet Willie growing up. He was always there for you when you needed to talk or just be with someone. You know you have some decisions to make as far as things for your parrots. And the first things you need to buy are bird cages.

    bird cages are important because they are your bird’s homes, and you will want to buy the biggest bird cages you can afford. Birds like to fly, so in their cages. They usually fly from side to side instead of vertically, so you’ll want to keep that in mind when buying cages. Parrots also enjoy curling up when they sleep. They feel more protected that way. So look for square cages instead of round. You want to buy metal cages because they are the easiest to clean. Birds like to perch different places, so you will want to put several perches around the cage.

    You know bird toys are important, or at least you hope they are. Your parents gave you several bird toys each Christmas and birthday as part of your gift. But why are they so important? Birds are actually very intelligent animals that need almost constant stimulation. You know you need to take the parrots out and play with them. In fact, that’s one of your favorite parts of having birds. But you are still working and go out with friends most weekends, so the birds are going to be on their own a good bit. Bored birds are not a good thing. When birds are bored, they can pick up bad habits. So yes, you will want toys, and will need to rotate them around a good bit.

    bird toys do not have to cost a fortune. In fact, several things normal people would throw away make great bird toys. Consider things like old toilet paper rolls or frayed milk jugs. Birds also like to play with baby toys such as rattles. Parrots also love to climb. So get out and start buying the bird cages and bird toys that you need today. You won’t regret it.

    Shop and buy a small, medium, or large bird cages for you pet parrot and pet birds. All types and sizes of parrot cages and bird toys are available for your pet birds.
