Say hello to Charlie 🌟

At 22 years young, this Umbrella Cockatoo is proof that parrots are the ultimate companions. Charlie is a total extrovert. Whether he’s out on an adventure in his harness, stepping up to greet new friends, or bopping along to his favourite fitness tracks, he’s always the centre of attention. He also loves nothing more than a screaming match with a group of excited children!

Charlie’s friendly nature is a testament to great socialisation. Here’s why his lifestyle is so beneficial:

🌳 Harness training a bird takes immense patience. Taking Charlie out allows him to experience new sights and smells, which prevents the boredom-related behaviours (like feather plucking) that intelligent species can develop.

🦜 The fact that he’ll step up for anyone shows a high level of confidence. It’s a vital safety command for any bird owner.

📢 Cockatoos need to be loud. Providing them with screaming sessions is actually a great way to let them vent energy in a positive way.

We love a bird with a big voice! We offer specialised exotic bird cover designed to protect social stars like Charlie, ensuring they stay fit, healthy, and dancing for another 20+ years.

Safe sunbathing for your reptiles 🦎

With the warmer weather, it’s great to let your reptiles experience natural sunlight. However, remember that glass filters out necessary UVB, and outdoor temperatures can fluctuate quickly in the UK. Always provide a shaded area and a secure enclosure to prevent escapes.

Say hello to Tilly, the 2-year-old Australian Frilled Lizard 🦎

Tilly is a lizard of many contradictions. He’s capable of incredible speeds, yet his favourite place on earth is a soft dressing gown. He’s a fierce predator of wax worms, but he also enjoys a game of chase the catnip ball.

Tilly’s love for his treat ball and dressing gown shows he’s a very stimulated lizard. Here’s how to keep frilled friends like him thriving:

🐛 Wax worms are very high in fat. They are great for bonding, but keep them as a treat to ensure Tilly stays at his 15 mph fighting weight.

🧥 It’s adorable that he loves a dressing gown but just ensure there are no loose threads or loops that his long claws could get snagged in.

We offer specialised exotic pet cover for Frilled Lizards like Tilly, so you can worry about the wax worms while we handle the rest.
