Letters: Dangers to Parrots
Dear Parrots magazine,
Dangers to Parrots
I would like to thank you and Megan Matthews for publishing an article on the home dangers to parrots. This is such an important topic.

Letters: Aviculture or conservation?
Dear Parrots magazine,
Aviculture or conservation?
In the February issue, you ask for suggestions regarding the identity of the Macaw pictured on page 41. I would suggest that this is a hybrid between a Hyacinthine and a Blue and Yellow Macaw. (Its underparts are not yellow, but plucked naked.) In 1996 in the USA I photographed this hybrid between a Hyacinthine and a Military Macaw.
Letters: Can you move it?
Dear Parrots magazine,
Can you move it?
Following the recent letter entitled ‘How About Up Here?’, can I add my endorsement to the plea for the Think Parrots Show to be located in a more geographically central position?
Letters: Be responsible
Dear Parrots magazine,
Be responsible
I tend to look up the ‘Lost and Found’ information on the Parrots website and find it so sad and unnecessary that during summer months the number of escaped birds rises significantly.
Letters: Looking for Spraat
Dear Parrots magazine,
Looking for Spraat
I am on a hunt for the person that took in our parrot many years ago. My mother found someone to look after him in NE London before 1996 when we wanted him to have a better life with other birds.
Letters: Ruppell’s and Rescue
Dear Parrots magazine,
Ruppell’s and Rescue
My question is to ask if you could do a specific breed study/article on Ruppell’s. Please, I would love to learn anything else I can about them. I rescued one, which I think is a male. It has taken me almost two years to gain his trust, humans had not been very nice to him in the past, so it was a slow process. I also rescued a Green-cheeked Conure, which are much more common. She had plucked her feathers, and was also terrified of people. They are both doing very well now and I have taken them out of their cages to play every day, and even take them outside on sunny days. It is amazing how attached one becomes to these feathered creatures!
