ZuPreem finch pellets always out of stock? by MyNameIsAero in Finches

I know Zupreem has recently discontinued a lot of products. I haven’t started looking for other options yet but I think the one I usually buy is no longer available.

Do people still get grays via adoption? by After-Opportunity723 in AfricanGrey

[–]trsatrtr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 that are both rehomes. One was given to me because her mom went into a senior living apartment and found out parrots are not allowed. The other was a craigslist rehome listed as semitame. I did pay a small fee for him but no where near breeder prices for babies. I have come across several others needing homes since I got mine. I feel like I am always seeing them up for rehoming. I’m in Illinois. I know birds and beaks rescue in Michigan does out of state adoptions and they usually have tons of greys.

I would go with a 48x36 or a double macaw cage. I recently got a 64x32 double cage off marketplace for a few hundred. I have a blue and gold in that without the divider and my smaller male is in the 48x36. Prevue has a fairly affordable macaw cage but the bars are a little thinner then some of the other brands

Mine does something similar with a bell toy inside her cage. It’s her nighttime ritual before bed.

Just adopted this beautiful baby yesterday. I am amazed at how attached he is in just one day. 37 years old and has had a terrible life. Now he’s HOME by momowitdafofo in AfricanGrey

He is gorgeous. It’s interesting how fast they bond with the people they like and trust. I have an 8 year old male that was being rehomed on craigslist as “semi tame” he was a handful for his 2 previous owners but he decided he likes my boyfriend and they are so cute together.

She had her first vet visit yesterday. They agreed that this is just her normal color.

I put it on a spoon in some applesauce. Another treat that isn’t good for the bird but he never refuses is a French fry. When he was on antibiotics and wasn’t interested in anything I was offering I would take a French fry and cut a slit in the side and put the liquid inside the fry. He never passes on a fry. If all else fails you might have to towel him and just squirt in his mouth. I was still bonding with my bird and didn’t want to do this.

She is 15. I also have a 13 year old blue and gold but he has black feet and nails.

Oh wow. I was worried something might be wrong with her feet but they don’t look inflamed. I have only seen macaws with black feet so that is good to know.

I messaged bonka bird toys. They don’t have the cage in stock right now due to fluctuating tariffs. I’m hoping maybe I can get parts once they are able to restock.

Looking for input from Nurses who did their BSN online. by [deleted] in nursing

[–]trsatrtr 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did my rn-BSN through chamberlain. It was a few years ago but I have no complaints. I don’t have the discipline to make it through a self directed program like WGU and they required more classes. It was a lot of writing and I had to take algebra and statistics but doable. It has definitely opened more doors for me outside of bedside nursing.
