Companion Parrot | The Adventures of Kacy The Conure Parrot

Surprise Write-up on BirdTalk Magazine

Couple of weeks ago, I was fortunate that a dear friend of mine, Jiaxing lended me a few past copies of BirdTalk magazine that I missed. I was really nice of him!

I always enjoy reading BirdTalk magazine because of the great tips and information on parrots I got hold every time in each issue. While I was reading through the dated March 2010 copy last night, something caught me by surprise.

I found my name published in the magazine!

Too bad, it wasn’t in an announcement of contest winners for the magazine, but a published column with a short write-up that I wrote about Kacy, my Black Capped Conure!

I quickly called Kacy into the picture. She hurriedly hopped on the table and took a peek at the short write-up published in the magazine. Even though it was a very short write-up about Kacy, but she seems delighted reading it!

What’s For Breakfast Today?

Breakfast menu for parrots don’t have to be monotonous. Breakfast for parrots not necessary have to be the usual organic pellets or seed mixes.

Kacy, my lovely Black Capped Conure had a whole grain bread toast for breakfast today! She truly enjoyed her hearty breakfast for the day.

Mum and I don’t really put our precious Black Capped Conure, Kacy on a strict monotonous diet.

We have been providing her with foods like cornflakes, cereals, oatmeal biscuit, whole grain bread and scrambled eggs for breakfast. And, she loves them all!

Deficiency of Vitamin A in Parrots

Vitamin A deficiency is a common problem in parrots on an all seed diet. Parrots generally have high dietary needs for Vitamin A.

Inadequate Vitamin A in a parrot diet can lead to various health problems and affect mortality. Thus it is extremely crucial to introduce parrots to healthier foods that are high in Vitamin A.

Kacy, my Black Capped Conure loves carrots! I am really glad that she enjoys healthy fruits and vegetables, probably because I started introducing a wide variety of healthy foods to her when she’s at a young age.

Kacy The Farming Parrot

Kacy, the Black Capped Conure is working out in the strawberry field as a farmer for a day. She spent the whole morning busily harvesting all the sweet strawberries.

I guess Kacy is probably the first ever farming parrot!

It is obvious that everything is fictitious. It is just another parrot trick of Kacy, a simple retrieval trick that I repackaged with a farm theme. This is the parrot trick that everyone has been waiting for!

Kacy and I hope the presentation of this parrot trick will bring lots of fun and laughter to everyone.

Are Sunflower Seeds Bad for Parrots

Sunflower seeds have earned a bad reputation in the aviculture world. These seeds are labeled as fattening, and often blamed as the leading cause to serious health problems (like Nutritional Disorders, Fatty Liver Disease, Thyroid Dysplasia and Obesity) in parrots.

We often get advises from experienced aviculturists, telling us to avoid feeding sunflower seeds to our parrots, because these are unhealthy and lacks in nutritional value. Are sunflower seeds really bad for parrots?

I decided to find about the nutritional fact of sunflower seeds. I was totally dumb-founded with my findings.

Do you know sunflower seeds are excellent sources of various vitamins and minerals?

Kacy The Conure Printed on T-Shirt

After days of waiting, I finally received my very own Bryan’s Angels Design T-shirt (with Kacy, my lovely Black Capped Conure printed on) in my mailbox today! I was so excited that I quickly opened up the package and tried on the T-shirt.

Words to describe my thoughts on the final product: I’m ecstatic, it’s 100% Satisfaction! I simply love it!

My Very Own Bryan's Angels T-Shirts (With Kacy The Conure Printed On Top)

I always wanted a Parrot-Themed T-shirt, but I was never able to find any attractive one.

In fact, there wasn’t much in the market. You can easily get a Mickey Mouse T-shirt off the shelves, but not a Parrot-Themed T-shirt. With that in mind, I decided to design and print one myself.

Kacy the Conure Enjoys the Sun

It had been raining for days. The skies of early mornings were always covered with dark clouds. Kacy, the Black Capped Conure and I could hardly remember when was the last time we get to see bright sunshine in the morning?

On the Friday morning, bright sunshine greeted us through the windows. The gloomy mornings were finally over. We were really enchanted.

Kacy was exceptionally in high spirit! She dashed to the spot where the sun were actively shining at. And there she was enjoying the sun, having a full morning of indoor sunbathing.

Kacy completely enjoyed every minute every second under the sun!
