Still time to Shop in Time for the Holidays

If you're still looking for a gift for the animal lover in your life, there is still time to shop. Although we are sold out on several items, there is still fabulous merchandise available. But please don't wait too long, as the window of opportunity to still receive your gift on time is getting shorter.

We can ship your order directly to the recipient if you'd like, and will even include a gift card at your request. Most of our jewelry comes presented in an attractive gift box. These are free services and we are happy to do this for you.

FlyFree: World Parrot Trust's New Campaign

Parrots are one of the most endangered groups of birds in the world, much of this due to the wild bird trade. If you've heard the stories and seen the images, you know how horrendous this practice is.

Fortunately, there are groups such as The World Parrot Trust to help put a stop to the wild parrot trade and to aid in their rescue, rehabilitation, and release back into the wild - where they belong. The WPT has stepped up their efforts with a 12-month campaign called FlyFree, partnering with conservation agencies that work in the field.

Please visit the WPT's FlyFree page to learn more about their efforts, see photos and make a donation.

Shop Early to Avoid Out of Stock Merchandise

As of this writing, several of our animal-themed items are already out of stock, many not available again until 2010. Some of this merchandise includes the Yak Pak Hedgehog backpack and handbag, and the Sienna Sky sea otter earrings. We only have 1 Espe Dog Fave tote bag in black still available.

We still have plenty of other fantastic items available, but please don't wait as some of these are being scooped up fairly quickly.

You are likely being inundated with emails, ads and commercials from stores touting their Black Friday sales.

Start Planning Now for National Bird Day

The next National Bird Day is on January 5, 2010. It's a day set aside by Born Free USA and the Avian Welfare Coalition to reflect on native birds as well as on the treatment of exotic companion birds. If you love birds and want to help make an impact in your community, check out the National Bird Day website.

It is full of ideas and ways, both big and small, for you to get involved - from sending a virtual e-card to hosting a bird art show. Even if you don't have a lot of time, you can help. We were able to get a Mayoral Declaration in Madison for National Bird Day several years in a row.

What are your plans for National Bird Day?

Pollyvision DVD for Parrots from World Parrot Trust

We are thrilled to now offer Pollyvision, a DVD made especially for parrots. It is from the World Parrot Trust, an organization dedicated to the welfare and conservation of wild parrots all over the world. Because these tapes were acquired directly from the WPT, part of the proceeds directly benefit the organization.

Pollyvision includes footage of wild parrots performing natural behaviors. Some of the parrot species you and your bird will see are African Greys, Cockatiels, Cockatoos, Macaws, to name a few.

WPT made this DVD to enhance the lives of captive parrots, although we think you will be just as intrigued with the visuals as your bird is.
