Dear Parrots magazine,
I was somewhat taken aback by Bob Mann’s response to Dexter Bailey’s question about his nine year-old screaming Amazon in the December 2012 issue. I believe other avenues should be explored before potentially rehoming the parrot to enable it to breed, and acquiring one of her babies instead.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Thank you for the lovely uplifting article on Pedrocska and Babuci, two African Greys living in Hungary in issue (189) October 2013. Jutka Nagyne’s birds are an absolute credit to her and her devotion to them is just wonderful.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I am just writing to say how much I have enjoyed the behavioural articles by Kashmir K Csaky.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Having read recently about Stephen White from King’s Lynn, Norfolk being threatened with court action after neighbours complained that Buddy, his African Grey, was too noisy and kept whistling Old MacDonald’s Farm, over and over again, it reminded me of my own neighbours when I used to keep Australian Parakeets in aviaries in my back garden.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I was interested to read about Jutka’s two African Greys living happily together, and with her, as companion parrots in the October 2013 issue (189).
Dear Parrots magazine,
On several occasions recently, first thing in the morning, I have been woken by the sound of my cockatiels flying around their aviary in a complete frenzy. When I spoke to my neighbour about it he told me that a sparrow hawk had been visiting his bird table and had been catching sparrows and carrying them off. My cockatiels can see the bird table from the flight and this was obviously what was upsetting them.
