Dear Parrots magazine,
It is a common trait to think that things always happen to someone else and not you. Having been a subscriber for many years now, I tend to look at your website and am always horrified to see how many birds get lost during warm sunny weather when windows and doors are left open, and have always felt very sorry for other people as these things never happen to me. But I was wrong. It did happen to me.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Your article in the July issue about neutral rooms has worked a treat. I have a Green-cheeked Conure and I wanted some company for him as he seemed somewhat forlorn on his own. It was at that time that a friend of a friend, who bred Maroon-bellied Conures offered me one of his birds that was surplus to requirements and about three years old, which was a similar age to my own Conure.
Dear Parrots magazine,
When my copy of Parrots with the Parrotlet on the front hit my doormat, I was over the moon, as these little parrots have always attracted my attention.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I would just like to point out to your readers that they need to be careful when buying a pair of parrots to breed from. At the back end of 2014, I bought a pair of Ring-necked Parakeets and was told they were a pair, meaning a cock and a hen.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Well done for including a piece on the Indonesia Nine and highlighting what appalling things human beings can do to our wildlife. I have been aware of this case and I have seen some of the pictures which were not published in this magazine of these birds in the bottles, which is quite horrifying.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Now the warmer weather is with us, I have become somewhat nervous about losing my Orange-winged Amazon and so decided I should have her wings clipped.
