Cutting costs to adhere to a budget? If, like most of us, you're feeling the economic squeeze, then you're probably looking for ways to save money on pet bird care and supplies.
It's true that the prices of bird food, toys, veterinary care, and other necessities can be costly, but you'll be surprised at how much cash a little bit of creativity can save you. Best of all, you can provide the same high quality care for your pet without spending as much money!
Check out "Bird Care On a Budget" to learn about some of the cost-cutting tips that other bird owners are already taking advantage of. They might just make caring for your pet easier than you thought it could be!
Eye-catching, confident, vocal, and friendly, Quaker parrots have been a favorite pet amongst bird lovers for many years over. Their small size makes them ideal parrots for those who lack the space for a larger species like a Macaw, but their lively personalities are anything but lacking.
To learn more about what it's like to share your life with one of these chatty little birds, check out my profile on Quaker Parrots as Pets. While Quakers aren't the ideal choice for every bird lover, they are very adaptable and do well with responsible owners who have the time and resources to keep them.

People love amusement parks, but we sometimes tend to forget that we aren't the only creatures on earth that enjoy a thrill now and again.
In this week's featured video, you'll see an African Grey Parrot who decides to take a walk on the wild side and turn his own swing into a veritable roller coaster -- all before jumping off and climbing back up to do it again!
Check out this hilarious video of the spinning parrot to see just how creative our feathered friends can be when they get bored with the same day to day routine. You'll laugh out loud!
As always, I look forward to watching reader submissions every week before choosing the video that I want to feature. If you know of a funny bird video that would be a great feature for Funny Bird Friday, remember to send me a link at
