Letters: CITES-listed parrots

Dear Parrots magazine,

CITES-listed parrots

The Green-cheeked Conure has become one of the most popular species in aviculture so it was good to see an article devoted to Pyrrhuras in the November issue. However, Pauline James seems to be unclear about CITES-listed species. She mentions two species, the Green-cheeked and the Red-bellied (Maroon-bellied) in relation to their CITES Appendix Iisting and correctly states that they are on Appendix II, but also states that both species are listed because they are endangered. This is incorrect. They are two of the most common and widespread members of the genus.

Letters: Need my cockatiel back

Dear Parrots magazine,

Need my cockatiel back

Complacency and freaky circumstances led to one of my cockatiels escaping from my bird room, a ‘panic shout’ went up from my Yellow-collared macaws, and all my birds joined in. One cockatiel flew around the dividing curtain, across the kitchen, out into the conservatory, and over 30 feet to the window I’d opened to let in some fresh air.

Letters: Another horror story

Dear Parrots magazine,

Another horror story

I read about the karabiner with horror in last month’s issue and have witnessed similar problems with other items. We need to be so careful as to what we put in our parrots’ cages and flights.

Letters: Cold weather

Dear Parrots magazine,

Cold weather

In the north of England, we have been experiencing very cold snaps recently, which had made me conscious about my birds getting too cold. I have four pairs of cockatiels and two pairs of Bourkes in outside aviaries and, although, in a fairly sheltered position, they can become extremely cold.

Letters: Beware the rat

Dear Parrots magazine,

Beware the rat

In have been keeping small parakeets and finches for over 15 years and have never experienced any problems with rodents, that is, until now.

Letters: Severe weather

Dear Parrots magazine,

Severe weather

The recent harsh weather we have all been experiencing has taken many by surprise, especially at this time of the year.
