Dear Parrots magazine,
I have been keeping Amazons and Macaws for over 15 years and have just come across Parrots magazine. I live in a small town and it was on one occasion recently, I was in the newsagents, picking up my tv guide, that the person in the queue in front of me asked for her Parrots magazine.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Having another great day out at Think Parrots 2016, I was further enriched myself when listening to Rosemary Low in her talk, and especially about some of the natural foods that are around us all the time that we can feed to our parrots. I remember also reading Eb Cravens’ column and Jim Hayward’s article about the natural foods around us and how this free supply of nutrition can benefit our birds.
Dear Parrots magazine,
It was only recently when a friend of a friend took me round to see another person’s aviaries, knowing that I was interested in parrots, but was somewhat surprised at the debris and mess that was in those flights.
Dear Parrots magazine,
There has been a lot of controversy about hybrid parrots. I have a Blue and Gold and a Green Wing that have been together for eight years and are devoted to each other. This all came about by accident as a friend of mine could not look after her Blue and Gold because of health issues, and I was the obvious person to look after her bird on a temporary basis. But they bonded immediately and I did not have the heart to stop them from mating after about two years together, as clearly they wanted to bring up a baby.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I love reading about research into parrot behaviour. I want to thank Leslie Moran for bringing the research into the cognitive abilities of parrots, to our attention. It has inspired me to consider building a multi-coloured ring-stacking toy for my parrot. She is already adept at stacking rings but could do with some focus on matching the rings to the pole colour.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Recently I read an article in a local newspaper, about how parents have again given bunnies as gifts to children as Easter presents. The article went on to say what an inappropriate gift an animal was for Easter. A similar article is written each year around Christmas about the gift of puppies and kittens. Ok, I get it, animals as gifts can end up as unwanted and neglected pets.
