After I saw this video I wrote to the company. I am hoping to get them to make a product like this for budgie training for the general public. For now this is only sold to zoos.
They sent me free products to thank me for writing. Heads up.

You can buy Nutri-Berries on Ebay as well as other suppliers. All you need is to make them sticky.

Great video, Phoebe. Good luck. See the look on some of the kids' faces!  |

I'm going to check out ebay then because I found out my vet has them at twice what they sell for in the States. I called today and I don't know why they are not out where we can see them. I've asked about products for birds and they only offered Harrison's pellets.
I ordered some from Dr Foster and Smith to find out they can not ship them to me because our border won't let them. The same thing happened with other stuff on my purchase.
The children did look so happy Hezz. It was kind of funny to see one run towards a bird already being fed and offer him a second stick. The bird just moved over a bit, didn't even fly away.

Sorry Phoebe I never gave it a thought of your location. When I looked at Ebay they had suppliers in the UK as well as the States, even Amazon had some, but Ebay were cheaper.

What a lovely story. It looks like a great exhibit. Those budgies are very happy. Where do you live, phoebe? |

I LOVE that enclosure. Personally not usually fond of zoos, but these little buds have a marvellous home, makes my heart happy Food on a stick is cool too. |

I will try to make some!
I have been making treats in ball form for our birds and I think it will be easy to put them on a stick!

I live in Quebec Canada, Stace.
Vhplac if you succeed I hope you can give us the recipe. I would love to make some. Popsickle sticks are inexpensive.

ffiscool are you in Australia? Since I had a stroke my memory is kind of random. The other day I was pitying myself because I was all alone then my daughter popped in and I was ecstatic. Apparently she had told me the day before. It's so frustrating. I like to warn people. I was diagnosed epileptic after the stroke but haven't had any seizures in so long I am pretty much cured.
I wish I could see Australia and the budgies first hand.

No, I am In the UK, near London. although I did go to Melbourne many years ago as have family there. My Canadian family are in Cote-st-luc
You know, even without any medical issues, the amount I forget is amazing as is the case with lots as we get older. I once couldn't remember the name if my road.
So you are far from being alone with any memory issues. But it must be very frustrating. it's not nice at all Do you make notes or have a journal you could jot things in?

I was writing for quite some time but I got bored of it because I go off on so many tangents. I find my new phone helps me very much. When I write to people then it stays there and I can scroll. It's encouraging though to get better instead of worse. I was thinking of getting some kind of board in my bird room. Just to make sure I do everything on schedule. I saw a cute one online today. The U.K. has such lovely budgies. I can hardly wait to see yours. |
