2019-04-02 14:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith your guys' feedback, I recently revamped my tiers here on Patreon in an effort to bring MORE VALUE to my higher tiers.
You guys have literally blown me away - I set what I thought was a high goal of reaching 70 patrons by the end of next month and I've already almost hit it for March! Whoa! THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!
Cockatoo Changes:
I've added the following content to my cockatoo tier based off your suggestions:

We are so excited to bring BirdTricks Tuesdays back to you guys! I had wanted to do this for a while, and starting a Patreon was just what I needed to pressure me into "just doing it". Because at BirdTricks we like to encourage proper exercise through flight when possible with pet parrots, I thought an entire series on flight training that applies to ALL circumstances could be really helpful.
Not only do we talk about the differences in small birds vs medium vs large but in th...
This recipe is our green mashed potatoes which we make for St. Patrick's Day as one of our "Healthy Holiday" recipes in our cookbook set which is available in print or digital.
This recipe calls for:
1 potato
1/4 cup water

That's it! COOK the potato. Blend with the water and spinach, and serve! I tal...

2019-03-01 15:57:38 +0000 UTC View PostHi patrons! I want to hold a LIVE video for all of you on March 5 which is a Tuesday. Let me know what time of day you want it at! We prefer mornings after 9am PST but are open to the fact that you all are on different timezones than us!
Our live videos will likely be around 15 minutes long, depending on how much activity we have going on with all of you and how many questions get asked.
Please make sure you have created an account on ...

Please follow that account, and let me know if your username/name is different from the one here on Patreon as I accept them. You can also leave your Instagram username in a comment here, and I can simply request you as well.

2019-02-19 15:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostThis last live stream took Internet connection, a new app through YouTube and Patreon, and was just kind of hindering and messy. We are looking for a new way to connect moving forward but need it to be only for our patrons. We got some great ideas from you guys (please keep them coming!) ideally it's a method that uses our phone signal instead of our internet signal. Let us know which one you would find the easiest to use!

If you missed my live stream on YouTube, you can still watch it here. It's where I announced which bird(s) I brought back from my trip to Florida and answered some questions from my viewers.
I have a lot of fun-loving videos coming up for you guys on my YouTube channel, and have been working hard filming (and editing) Bird Tricks Tuesdays + Tasty Tuesdays for you to be released here on Patreon.&nbs...

I've attached a shot of the recipe page from my main cookbook so you guys can have the exact recipe details. Keep in mind, our seasonal recipes are meant to change with the seasons which is why I incorporated so many fun finds.
As you can see from the freezer footage - my last batch was super GREEN! This one was super pink and purple (mostly from the beets!)
In simple terms:
STEP ONE: Shop
STEP TWO: Chop
STEP THREE: Combine
STEP FOUR...

You guys are the first to know; we just added seasonal palm nuts to our website! We found an amazing provider of these varieties who came to us wanting to offer them to our client base. So here they are! We've tested them on our own birds (that's Cressi on the product page!) so be sure to let us know how your birds enjoy them as well!

Building up to our Tasty Tuesday I thought I would share this awesome video Ashlyn did about how she is using BIRD BREAD to get her blue and gold macaw to eat both VEGGIES and PELLETS!
Our pellets are available online within the USA only. Here is the original recipe Ashlyn is referencing. If you have a bird bread recipe you use, please share it in the comments for others to try! 2019-02-10 01:20:25 +0000 UTC View Post
I'm looking for what time on Friday, Feb 15 you guys would prefer me hold the live Q&A! Since I only have a few patrons this will be a very intimate chat setting so I want to make sure as many of you as possible can all attend.
Keep in mind I am referring to Pacific Standard Timezone in these so choose which time frame to narrow it down to based on when I would be live. Thanks for any input!

The first of my Tasty Tuesday videos (which will sometimes be Natural Feeding Friday’s when posted on a Friday of the month) is coming next week! I’m super excited and had LOTS of “help” from Bondi 🙄💕
Keep in mind I have a lot of beaks to feed so you might be sizing down some of these recipes - although this one is intentionally intended to go a long way!

Welcome to your first Family Friday video! (No bird footage - GASP - I know!) Here's where you get to know US as a family and as people, outside of being bird trainers.
I hope you enjoy getting to understand a bit more of our lives through these Friday videos which will be posted twice a month.
A little about this video:
We have been performing on board cruise ships on and off for the past 15 or so years. Dave started when he was just 19 years old, and we have wo...

I’ll be sharing insights into our family life here on Patreon so you guys can get to know us not only as animal trainers but as people too - that includes truly seeing us as parents; something I normally keep very personal. I hope you all enjoy this special insight into this part of our lives.
I’ll be sharing them as FAMILY FRIDAYS where you get a peek into what makes us, us!
