It’s been a somewhat slow year for postings here on Best in Flock, but I thought I’d do a year-end wrap-up as we approach 170 different articles.
We didn’t work on a lot of new clicker training tricks in the last year, but Mika made a lot of progress with flying.
I also started making a lot more DIY foraging toys out of Dixie cups, which both birds enjoy.
Perhaps the coolest update this year was when we learned that Stewie’s “screaming sun conure” video helped two separate parrot owners retrieve their lost birds.
That video – our most popular video on YouTube – is up to nearly 75,000 views!
Here are some more highlights…
