Delivery and Assembly of Parrot Cages in Any Room of your Home in 49 States and Canada Now Available
Chicago, IL (PRWEB) August 4, 2008 -- Bird owners no longer need be burdened with carrying large, heavy and awkward parrot cage boxes up stairs & through a house apartment or condo. Two person teams will now professionally guide a parrot's new home from delivery truck to the room of the bird owner's choice. www.WindyCityParrot.com
"Bird owners in the center of major metropolitan areas like Chicago, New York & LA have often lamented on the logistics of getting a new cage 'upstairs'. Third floor walk ups and high rise condos typically make a parrot owner put off the replacement of an older cage that was originally brought in by movers. Single family home owners be they single women, retirees or busy parents have repeatedly asked for this service" relates Catherine Tobsing, president of Windy City Parrot, Inc.
Large parrot cages are typically delivered by strapping 2 or 3 boxes to a pallet for a combined weight (including the pallet) of about 200 pounds. The palleted bird cage usually arrives on a semi-trailer-truck. The driver may help take it off the truck but he is not obligated unless an additional $100 was paid for lift gate service to the curb of the residence. It's typically up to the bird owner to muscle the cage into their home from the street. Most cages come wiith no instructions, just a illustration making assembly a tedious process.
For additional information contact Mitch Rezman or visit www.WindyCityParrot.com. Approximately a dozen bird cages from Prevue Pet, HQ Bird Cage Company and the AE Cage Company are currently available for this service.

Parrot Training Tips
As with all other pets you might have, a parrot's training is based on the reward/ignore/punish method.

What to Feed Your Parrot
Over the last few decades, a new trend popped up regarding pet nutrition, regardless of the type of pet involved. This trend focused on giving your pet the food that they would hypothetically eat in the wild if they were still feral. The supporters of this method argument it with the fact that eating raw, natural food keeps your pet healthy and lively, whereas stuffing him with commercial nutrients can cause some serious problems. At the same extent, supporters of the traditional diet methods say that the natural food diets don’t work, for the simple reason that the pet doesn’t get the amount of exercise, freedom and harshness he gets in his potential "wild" state, thus the natural diet has no effect. Parrots make no exception from the rule ...

Teaching Your Parrot to Talk
Having talking parrots as pets goes way back to at least the time of Ancient Greeks. By the time of the Roman Empire it was even more common and courses were given to teach people how to get their birds to mimic human speech. The material covered in this article is much more effective than those courses of ancient times and the training myths of ancient times have been omitted. One of the craziest myths was that the parrot should be placed in a completely dark room during training. As the following joke suggests, having a talking bird is one of the reasons that people purchase parrots.
