Steve Season 1 Episode 8

Send us a text

Get ready for some feathered mayhem in episode 8. Steve and Jess are back with a mix of hilarious anecdotes and essential parrot care advice. This week, Steve shares a truly embarrassing tale of a macaw heist, where a chocolate bar disappears en route to one of the UK's strictest vets and Steve has to fess-up. Imagine the chaos!

Beyond the laughs, we dive into critical first aid, focusing on how to handle bleeding in parrots. We'll cover quick-clotting techniques and the importance of a well-prepared avian first aid kit, ensuring you're ready for those unexpected moments and always have your nearest Avian Vets number at hand.

We also address a common issue that leads to birds being rehomed: dust. Many parrot species produce significant feather dust, which can cause serious lung problems for owners. Steve and Jess emphasise the importance of recognising potential allergies before bringing a parrot home.

Join us for a blend of laughter, practical advice, and a real look at the joys and challenges of parrot ownership. Whether you're a seasoned bird enthusiast or just curious, this episode has something for everyone. Tune in and let's talk parrots!
