Dear Parrots magazine,
I bought my African Grey about eighteen months ago as a baby and noticed it had its wings clipped. I was new to parrots and accepted this was a normal procedure when buying a young bird.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Isn’t it just fantastic when your parrot utters some words you understand and how good they are at talking, or should I say ‘mimicking’. Now that should stir up some interest for Parrots readers. Do parrots ‘talk’ or do they ‘mimic’?
Dear Parrots magazine,
We seem to be reading a lot about free flying these days, in not just this magazine, but other publications too. I have always wanted to see my Green-winged Macaw fly freely but just have not got the courage to try it.
Dear Parrots magazine,
We have had our Orange-winged Amazon for just less than two years now and are over the moon with him - we have had him DNA sexed. When my children heard about us getting a parrot, they were very excited and couldn’t wait to see it. But it would seem that some of their school friends have said they can bite and be very noisy, which put them off. This made us think carefully but after long talks, it was agreed that we go ahead.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I have read much about diets and nutrition and have been confused at what to feed my Orange-winged Amazon and my Lesser Cockatoo. A good friend of mine believes in pellets although does give her Grey other things like sweetcorn and chicken bones.
