What bird care articles and information does Parrot Island Inc. offer?

Updated

Parrot Island Inc. (parrotislandinc.com) publishes a small library of bird care articles organized into nine topic categories, covering everything from getting started with a pet bird to diet, behavior, veterinary health, and safety. The articles sit alongside the site's online store, so you can read general guidance and then look at related food or supplies. The catch: the site shows category names and article counts, but not the individual article titles or full text in the material available, so you can browse by topic but can't preview specific articles without visiting the site itself.

Article categories and how many articles each holds

The site lists its articles under a main "Articles" section with a "New Articles" and "All Articles" view. The categories and their listed counts are:

Category Articles listed
Introduction 6
General Care 8
Diet and Nutrition 9
Behavioral 10
Veterinary Health 10
Special Interest 8
Species Specific 8
Recommended Reading 2
Safety 5

That's 66 articles in total across the nine categories. Behavioral and Veterinary Health are the largest sections, which suggests the library leans toward solving day-to-day problems rather than only introductory material.

What each category is likely useful for

  • Introduction — basics for new owners, such as what keeping a pet bird involves.
  • General Care — routine upkeep: housing, cleaning, and everyday husbandry.
  • Diet and Nutrition — feeding questions, which pairs directly with the store's seed mixes, pellets, and treats.
  • Behavioral — the largest section, aimed at understanding and managing bird behavior.
  • Veterinary Health — the other largest section, covering health topics; note this is general information, not a substitute for seeing an avian vet.
  • Special Interest — narrower topics that don't fit the standard categories.
  • Species Specific — care guidance tied to particular kinds of birds.
  • Recommended Reading — a short list of two items pointing to further resources.
  • Safety — household and environmental hazards.

How to find an article

  1. Go to the site and open the Articles section (linked in the information menu).
  2. Choose All Articles to see everything, or New Articles for recent additions.
  3. Pick a category from the list above to narrow by topic.
  4. Read the article, then use the store's search or category links if you want to buy a related product.

The site also has a "Quick Find" keyword search and an "Advanced Search" for products, which is separate from the article browsing.

Practical things to know before you rely on it

  • No article titles are shown in the available listing — only category names and counts. You'll need to open a category to see what's actually inside.
  • The library is modest in size. With 66 articles total and only 2 under Recommended Reading, treat it as a starter reference rather than a comprehensive care manual.
  • Content and store are connected. Many bestsellers and featured products are the site's own branded mixes (for example, Parrot Island Standard Parrot Mix and Medium Formulated Diet Mix), so diet articles and product pages are meant to be read together.
  • Health content is general. The Veterinary Health section offers information, but decisions about a sick bird belong with a qualified avian veterinarian.

If you want bird care guidance organized by topic and don't mind browsing category by category, this library covers the main areas a pet bird owner needs. If you need in-depth or species-specific detail beyond a handful of articles, plan to supplement it with a dedicated avian care book or your vet's advice.
