Dear Parrots magazine,
Daily walk halts feather-plucking
Thank you for your latest parrot news pages in the January issue. Anything about feather-plucking gets my attention as my parrot has the same habit. This issue had many helpful stories. I was glad to read, "Daily walk halts feather-plucking." When the weather was warmer I took my parrot for walks around the block and enjoyed it.
One morning a car stopped beside me. The driver and her son were thrilled to see my unusual pet companion. After asking a number of questions, they told me we had just made their day. That morning walk proved beneficial to more than just the two of us! The small bit of exercise for me, also helps to accustom my parrot to the sights and sounds of her surroundings.
