The Complete Psittacine with EB Cravens – A Successful Holistic Parrot Healing – During the past two decades of parrot keeping , I have had to deal with many bird accidents and illnesses, within my flock.

In this article she also discusses the issues of noise and pet birds. The Lear’s Macaw and their conservation – Sam Williams recently travelled to Brazil, the home of the blue macaws. Here he describes the Lear’s Macaw, the problems they face and efforts that are being made to help them.
