How to make my site better? It's pretty good already

    Not sure how I can improve this site:

    http://www.theafricangreyparrot.com/

    It ranks first in google for "african grey parrot", has a buzzing forum and makes $20-30 in adsense per week. It also sells the occasional ebook and other stuff. The site gets 400-500 uniques a day.

    What can I do to improve this site?

    If you'd rather not post publicly I would welcome suggestions by PM.

    Thanks
    Notting

    The site design is okay, what I would change are the black pixel borders around your graphic elements as they are kind of too.... defined/dark against the gradient greys and white background.

    I think you should left align the Link Partners, North Carolina Vets, Budgie, and the Get a link section.

    Hi, I believe if you make the image of the parrot on your header bar graphics full color, it will catch they eye much more. And will be way more attractive. Also the "Teach Your Parrot To Talk" box image needs some clean up.
    I've just quickly put one together for you right here. You can grab it if you want. The one you have now looks a bit messy.

    Other than that you are doing a great job with the site promotion!
    Wish you all the best,
    astra

    Your site reminds an old printer output now, as astra has advised it would be better to make the images in full color, and it may be a good idea to use a semi transparent jungle background there.

    Change the text to a better font, it looks really bad. (sorry).

    You need to tweak that template.
