Dear Parrots magazine,
As a keeper and breeder of a mixed collection of parrots (although sadly not Golden Conures), I loved POMPOM’s article on her large family of Golden Conures in the October 2012 issue of Parrots. It was a real revelation to me and gave an amazing insight into the secret world of parrots and the way that perhaps other parrots too, perceive the world around them.

Dear Parrots magazine,
In the past British asparagus had a short season and was expensive. As other greens and vegetables are available at this time, it is probably unlikely it has been fed to caged birds.

The homemade enrichment toy piece in the December 2012 issue has some good ideas. But I wonder if you know that, at least in North America, the glue that holds paper towel and toilet tissue rolls together often contains zinc.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I was somewhat taken aback by Bob Mann’s response to Dexter Bailey’s question about his nine year-old screaming Amazon in the December 2012 issue. I believe other avenues should be explored before potentially rehoming the parrot to enable it to breed, and acquiring one of her babies instead.
