Dear Parrots magazine,
During my life, my father and grandfather have always kept birds, so I have been brought up with them and found the incredibly fascinating. Most were kept as aviary birds, although when I was a child my parents brought in an Amazon parrot which stayed with the family until it died, about five years ago.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I remember when the Animal Welfare Act was being debated and discussed by our MPs and during that time an issue was raised as to whether or not rescue centres should be licenced. Perhaps it was because I lost track of what was going on at that time, with the result that as far as I know rescue centres are not licenced.
Dear Parrots magazine,
It is a common trait to think that things always happen to someone else and not you. Having been a subscriber for many years now, I tend to look at your website and am always horrified to see how many birds get lost during warm sunny weather when windows and doors are left open, and have always felt very sorry for other people as these things never happen to me. But I was wrong. It did happen to me.
Dear Parrots magazine,
My name is Carolyn and your magazine inspired me to paint some of the beautiful parrots in your magazine. Hope you like them.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Your article in the July issue about neutral rooms has worked a treat. I have a Green-cheeked Conure and I wanted some company for him as he seemed somewhat forlorn on his own. It was at that time that a friend of a friend, who bred Maroon-bellied Conures offered me one of his birds that was surplus to requirements and about three years old, which was a similar age to my own Conure.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I would just like to point out to your readers that they need to be careful when buying a pair of parrots to breed from. At the back end of 2014, I bought a pair of Ring-necked Parakeets and was told they were a pair, meaning a cock and a hen.
