Dear Parrots magazine,
When my pair of Eclectus was housed indoors, all their fruits and vegetables were fed by wedging them between the cage bars. But, when I set them up in a breeding flight outside I couldn’t do this, and they wouldn’t eat the same fresh foods from a dish.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I want to respond to three news stories in the last issue (Parrots December 11). The first story was about a Mrs Hartley who takes her two Caiques on her skiing holidays, sitting in her pockets while she bombs down the slopes. I was horrified to read this story.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I bought my Senegal parrot about three years ago and have never had any problems with him when turning in for the night. But about five months ago, he started playing up when we turned off the lights at night. He would make a great deal of noise and seemed quite perturbed. But after spending some time with him, he would eventually calm down.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I would like to warn other bird-keepers of the potential hazard of clear plastic, open water containers, which are clipped on to the outside of many budgie cages.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I have had Layla, my Pineapple Green-cheeked Conure for just four months, and I can’t believe what a joy and inspiration she has been to me. Having obtained an A-grade, A-level in Art, I went on to study at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, but I have never felt so inspired in my artwork, as I have since I’ve had my Conure.
Dear Parrots magazine,
Re your issue 169, February 2012 “Parrot Queries”, page 34. I, too, began to worry about newspaper print being toxic. My 17-year-old Grey, Moshi, shreds all the paper on her cage floor (renewed twice daily) even though she flies freely around the flat and is out of her cage for most of the day.
