Chamomile Flower as Stress Reliever
Monday, May 26th, 2008

Herbal Remedies have been becoming more and more popular this day. Partly because many see the effective of long term usage of herbal remedies, furthermore they are natural and do not result in any negative side effects after prolong usage.

Previously I’ve mentioned about Kermit’s screaming problem, till now I figuring out an effective solution to minimize the problem. I don’t really wish to see Kermit turning into a screamer. Through my daily observation of Kermit, I noticed there are a few possibilities that lead Kermit into screaming:

1. Over-Bonding Issue (Whenever I’m out of sight, he will scream!)
2. Calls from other bird/flocks (Kermit’s scream most of time are triggered due to Kiki’s high-pitched calls)
3. Fear & Stress (It’s probably difficult to remedy due to unknown factors leading to fear & stress)

Is Garlic Safe for Parrots
Sunday, May 4th, 2008

I used to offer my Senegal Parrot, Kermit small servings of chopped garlic cloves and he enjoys it just like I do. As we all know garlic contains anti fungal properties and is often use as a natural remedy to treat yeast and fungal infection. Since garlic is used as a natural antibiotic, by offering our parrots with garlic can help prevent any fungal infection.

Until recently, I happened to come across a report on a health magazine indicating the possible impact to human health when over-consuming garlic. After reading it, this bring to my concern pondering whether is it safe to offer parrot garlic clove?
