NickerStickers Decals are Easy to Apply!Whether you've never, ever applied a decal before or are an old pro, NickerStickers go on smooth and easy and stick very well.
Before you start, WASH THE SURFACE!
Don't Use Window Cleaner!
We recommend you use plain old soap and water, 1/3 cup soap to 1 cup water. If there is any wax build up, use a scrubby. Finish with a lint free cloth to dry. You can add additional touch of extra cleaning with rubbing alcohol, mixed half and half with water. But soap and water is usually good enough.
Step 1. Peel the transfer tape with the decal stuck to it away from the waxy backing paper. The adhesive side of your decal is now exposed. Be careful! Don't get it dirty and don't touch it with your fingers. Use the clear transfer tape to hold because you'll be taking that off later anyway.
Step 2. Using the transfer tape, roll your decal on to the surface to which you are applying, starting at one corner and laying it down. Once it is on the surface, rub on top of the clear transfer tape and decal using a credit card and working from the center out. Press lightly at first, then repeat more firmly. Repeat several times.
Step 3. REMOVE THE TRANSFER TAPE. The decal is under the transfer tape. Pull the transfer tape up at a sharp angle beginning at one corner. Remove the clear tape on top of the decal and throw it away. Your decal should easily stick to the surface while you are pulling up the transfer tape. If it's not sticking solid, try leaving it on overnight and taking it off the next day.

The African Grey parrot is native to equatorial Africa. The species is found inside a
range from Kenya to the eastern part of the Ivory Coast. Populations are
decreasing worldwide do to importation of wild birds. Around 21% of the
population of the wild birds was being harvested every year. Mortality rates
are extremely high after they are captured until they reach market, ranging
from 60–66%. There are many places you can adopt a parrot rather than
purchasing from a pet store.
Most of the African Grey’s diet consists of fruit, nuts, and
seeds. The species prefers oil palm fruit and also eat flowers and tree bark,
as well as insects and snails. In the wild, the grey parrot is partly a
ground feeder. In captivity, it can eat bird pellets, a variety of fruits
such as pear, orange, pomegranate, apple, and banana, and vegetables such as
carrot, cooked sweet potato, celery, fresh kale, peas, and green beans. They
also need a source of calcium.
The African Grey is prized for its
ability to mimic human speech, making it one of the most popular
avian pets. They are notorious for mimicking noises around their environment
and using them tirelessly. While they are highly intelligent birds, they need
enrichment and attention in captivity or they can become distressed; feather
plucking is a common symptom.They may also be prone to behavioural
problems due to their sensitive nature. Social isolation hastens stress
and ageing.
Grey parrots have been shown to perform at the cognitive
level of a 4- to 6-year-old child in some tasks. New experiments have shown
that Grey parrots can learn number sequences and can associate human voices
with those humans' faces. Most notably, Dr. Irene Pepperberg's work
with Alex the parrot showed his ability to learn over 100 words,
differentiating between objects, colors, materials, and shapes. A recent study
has shown that Grey parrots possess probabilistic reasoning, being able to make
inferences about a sample based on information from a population.
Parrots are wild by nature. They are not domesticated
animals like cats and dogs, who have been selectively bred for suitable “pet
qualities” for quite some time. An African Grey parrot can live 40
to 60 years. If you adopt a parrot, you’ll need to learn about their care and
behavioral needs, and adjust your lifestyle accordingly.
