I need advice either from someone who has dealt with this successfully or "all y'all" brainstorming about how to do this. It's an old story: I have Francie, the U2, as well as two cats. The cats were raised by me and don't even know that a bird is prey. They're scared to death of Francie...

I am adopting a 30 year old BFA. She comes with a cage on a stand that isn't very big. I'd like to get her a larger cage--not huge--but something that would be good around our 3 cats. My thinking is that I would need one that is on a stand and has seed guards so the cats could not reach it...

I've browsed a bit and haven't seen this topic so I hope I'm not duplicating. Please move this thread if necessary! Anyway--I mentioned in another thread that I will be adopting a 30 year old BFA. She will be an only bird. We have 3 indoor cats--two very mellow males and one young female who...

I only have one room in which to accommodate my cats' litter boxes (so that the dogs don't have access to them) and a large cage for my parrot. Does anyone else have litter boxes in the same room w/their bird? I worry about dust/odor hurting the bird. One litter box is contained in a wooden...

I have quite a few pets, many of them are rescues, as my fiance and I both love all animals and can't stand to see anything suffer if we can help it. I figured I would share with you guys some pictures of my non-feathered friends, as I just updated my Photobucket and am in a picture- posting...
