I'm sorry, but there is something here that is just not true.
According to recent studies -when used as a supplement- honey, and bee pollen are VERY good for parrots (particularly Lories, and Lorikeets)!
I have been researching ratite farming for several years now, and I have officially decided that I'm ready to start.
At the moment, we just raise chickens, and grow alfalfa (which I hear is quite good for ostriches & rhea), but we also have dogs -that i pray will get along with whatever BIG...
Flowerchik, first of all; Your bird MUST ALWAYS have the option of saying no (no to stepping up for example). This is the only way to have, real and trusting bond with your bird. And second; what are you feeding them? (a good 30% of all bird behavior problems stem from a bad diet)
Hello.
I too am a Bird Trainer with some extensive experience (most of mine with macaws).
It's always good to talk to an other Trainer, so I for one am very glad you are here! :)
WELCOME!
Yes, they do bond with each other, but they will also develop STRONG bonds with there owners. They are parrots after all.. (Trust me on this one, as many of you know, I am a Bird trainer )
