The November issue is now out and is crammed full of must-read articles! Top parrot trainer Michael Simmons from A World of Wings explains in his new column, which began in the October 2012 issue, how he goes about building an amazing rapport with each of his parrots. A bond that is so strong, he is able to free-fly them and they come back to him instantly on command because they want to. Forging a deeper bond with our parrots makes living with these amazing birds so much more satisfying and greatly benefits the parrots too!

In the October issue Michael Simmons, one of the top parrot trainers in the country, explains how parrot owners should go about this, and says all parrots, whatever their background, have the ability to learn this task!
