Letters: Cleaning up
Dear Parrots magazine,
Cleaning up
How many times have we heard that owning a parrot will result in converting your furniture into matchsticks, and lots of mess around the cages and your house, but don’t we just love them!

Letters: Lychees are his favourite
Dear Parrots magazine,
Lychees are his favourite
I have always been a fan of natural fresh food and will always buy organic whenever I can find it, particularly with green stuffs like cabbage, runner beans peas in the pod when in season, and oranges, banana chips and pomegranate, but lychees are favourite for one of my Greys that has a passion for them. Unfortunately they don’t seem to be in season for that long, but suppose I’m lucky as having a couple of international food shops closed by, which sell a lot of different types of fruit and vegetables. They always seem to have good stocks of lychees when others don’t have any.
Letters: The Spix’s threat
Dear Parrots magazine,
The Spix’s threat
I read with great dismay in the September issue about the problem with the Spix’s Macaw reintroduction project. I have been following the story of this project for many years with the ups and downs, but have been pleased to see amazing progress that has been made in recent years with continued success. But to see there is now a dispute with the programme that is putting the whole project under threat is extremely sad and worrying.
Letters: A second bird
Dear Parrots magazine,
A second bird
I would like to respond to Lee Gamble’s article in the August issue 319 - ”It’s official, I am turning into my grandad”. I am assuming Lee is retired and home most of the day. Lee, your daughter’s report on her parrot ownership is sadly too common nowadays. I am so pleased you and your wife have stepped in and clearly given the parrot a much better home.
Letters: Cage sizes
Dear Parrots magazine,
Cage sizes
There has been much publicity over the years with regard to the size of cages that parrots should be kept in providing them with adequate space to exercise and to keep them healthy. However, there are possibly two sides of the story, as I know of a number of pet owners whose parrots are kept in cages that would probably not comply with the law.
Letters: Patience with new items
Dear Parrots magazine,
Patience with new items
Over the years I have read a lot about how parrots can react adversely to new items being put into their cages, and thinking about how my Grey reacted recently with a new perch. My African Grey, Buddy, is now 12 years old and gets into everything. He comes out a lot and has pretty well the freedom of the house and doesn’t seem to be afraid to get into anything, good or bad! He is with me most of the days as my husband works full time, so we spend a lot of time together and understand each other.
