Just thought I would share this with you so you can all laugh at my expense! After getting my little feathered friend a week ago I noticed some of his feathers look a bit shabby. When placing an order for treats and stuff from a well known parrot supplies store I noticed a "rain cleansing spray" and ordered it. When it arrived yesterday, the bottle was tiny and cost £8.99. I checked the bottle to discover what mystery ingredient could be so expensive. Guess what the bottle contains? Water! 

 

If anyone knows of any other useless overpriced junk that I'm likely to purchase, please could you e-mail me? 

 

Well you won't get caught out with that one again, will you!

Before you spend a fortune on toys with some of the pet shops and better known suppliers, I would suggest you have a look at Scarlett's range. See the link to the website on her introduction post, or there was a thread called something like really cheap bird toys. Also speak to your local ACO before you spend a fortune on deluxe food mixes. Many of us use a seed called AS20, and I haven't met a bird yet who doesn't love it, you can get it through BL or Scarlett says she uses it so she may be able to point you to another supplier.

Enjoy spoiling your new baby, we've all been there.

I know I`ve said it before but this is exactly the reason we started Scarletts. We were have fallen into the same trap as you with other products.

I will always do my best to get a product for someone if they really want it, but would always try to advise them honestly, and not sell bottles of, well, water!! Some things are just a rip off. We do use the same seed for our birds and they all love it! Oh, and to be completely honest we buy ours from Dietec as none of my suppliers do it and it is cheap on there! Didn`t realise you could buy it through Birdline!
