Big topic this week, and it’s one every bird owner (or future bird owner) needs to hear. A cage isn’t just a place to keep your bird, it’s essential for their safety, comfort, and overall well-being in captivity. In this episode, we’re breaking down what a proper cage setup really means, how to use it effectively in your home, and why it's far more than just a box with bars. At Parrot Stars, we take cages very seriously. In fact, we don’t allow any of our birds to go home until we’ve approved a suitable cage and essential supplies. If you ever visit us in-store, we’d love to help optimize your bird’s living space! As always, be kind to your Parrot and it will be kind to you!

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
