Dear Parrots magazine,
While I enjoyed reading the article on the Blue-throated Conure in the March 2014 issue I was concerned about the information given on diet. Tariq explained that he fed his birds a pelleted diet because a seed-based diet could cause a vitamin A deficiency, but I felt this was rather misleading.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I am writing about the article on page 31 in the March 2014 issue by Sylvia Rush, “Freedom is playing in the wisteria.”
Dear Parrots magazine,
I am writing to express my pleasure at reading the article, “Living in Japan with Abo and Okame.”
Dear Parrots magazine,
In the May 2013 issue you were kind enough to publish my letter expressing my appreciation of articles by David Woolcock and Michael Simmons - an appreciation that continues!
Dear Parrots magazine,
Karen Chudley’s article “A day in the life of Team Conure” in the January 2014 issue was an absolute joy! Her humorous writing perfectly captured the personality of Pyrrhura conures which is seen at its best when they have the space to fly and play, and even better, when they are kept as a small flock, which is how they live in the wild. These highly sociable birds need the company of their own kind and with flight skills, most keepers never see, when allowed to fly in a room, their antics are a never ending source of delight.
Dear Parrots magazine,
For those keepers and breeders of parrots that house their birds in outside aviaries, beware of the dangers of the garden hose, if you use it to wash down the aviary floors. I learnt the hard way.
