All letters sent in will also now be posted in our magazine 'Letters' page.
Getting an issue off your chest can make you feel better, and there are many issues in the parrot world. Or if, simply, you just want to tell us all about something concerning your birds, here's your opportunity.
Parrot people love to hear other owners' experiences and the many other things that make us happy or, indeed, very angry. So don't worry if your issue is controversial as we believe in a democratic system and will not 'cherry pick' letters. As long as your letter is not obscene or libellous, it will get an airing.

Dear Parrots magazine,

Dear Parrots magazine,
Becoming bored and anxious
It was recently when I was asked to take a look at a friend’s friend’s Orange-winged Amazon that appeared to be sick as it was very subdued and giving rise for concern to its owners. They had taken on this Amazon, called Benny, from the husband’s family following the unexpected death of the elderly father-in-law. The mother-in-law was not able to look after Benny.

Dear Parrots magazine,
Must be organic
We all know that fruit and veg are good for all of us including our birds that provide us with all the nutrients we need for good health. And all year round, there is plenty of produce available in our supermarkets and grocery stores. So is there any excuse for not providing this valuable source of foods to our birds.
