Letters: Electrifying fright


Dear Parrots magazine,

Electrifying fright

With birds often flying free in our houses, we must be aware of the many hazards that face them. I always thought I was careful with my Senegal, Charlie, when it came to safety, but to my horror, I was confronted with stark reality. One of the most potential dangers are electric cables and I should know even better, as my brother is a qualified electrician.

Letters: Natural Perches


Dear Parrots magazine,

Natural Perches

When talking to a like-minded parrot owner recently, the subject of perches cropped up. This was somebody I had heard about although never actually met before who had an African Grey and a Blue-fronted Amazon in two separate cages in the new extension they had just had built on their house.

Letters: Cleaning can be fun


Dear Parrots magazine,

Cleaning can be fun

I found the article on cleaning cages very interesting and, particularly, about pressure washing. My husband bought a pressure washer about six months ago to clean our fence and patio of algae, but it never occurred to me that it could be extremely useful to clean our cages.

Body mass of parakeets


Dear Parrots magazine,

Body mass of parakeets

For a current research project that explores how birds respond to changing climates, I am looking for data on Ring-necked Parakeet (Psittacula krameri) body weights. We want to test the idea that energetic demands on these parakeets influence their distribution limits across native India and Pakistan, and to better understand how they are able to survive cold European winters.
