Dear Parrots magazine,
Nearly four years ago a 44 year-old relation of mine had a riding accident which left her brain damaged. She spent many weeks in hospital - five of them fighting for her life.
Dear Parrots magazine,
After coming home one day, I put my bags down and went to go and say “Hello” to Drifter, my Blue-fronted Amazon. But, when I approached his cage he began flapping his wings and screaming frantically, and I knew something was wrong. When I took a closer look he had caught his leg ring in the clasp of one of his parrot toys.
Dear Parrots magazine,
As part of the discussion going on, on Parrots magazine’s online forum, I would like to put in my two penneth! In 2003, I was given five years to live, on condition I got rid of my African Grey. I had been diagnosed with fibrosing alveolitis and sleep apnoea, but at 70 years old I am still here thanks in part to Alan Jones and Rob Harvey who gave me tremendous support – and I still have my beloved Bobby too!
Dear Parrots magazine,
Thank you so much for keeping us informed on the progress of Spix’s Macaws, I have just enjoyed reading the last instalment in issue July 2013 (186). I love hearing about the successful breeding attempts with these rare birds and look forward to their eventual release back into the wild in Brazil.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I have found a really good alternative to Teflon-coated cookware. I bought a ceramic Ceracraft frying pan – red with a white lining - at our local Homebase for about £30 and it’s fantastic! It cooks well, it is very non-stick and above all, being Teflon-free, it’s parrot safe!
Dear Parrots magazine,
I just wanted to inform readers of Parrots magazine that I will be coming to Europe in November 2014 and will be running two bird and small mammal training seminars in The Netherlands and Dublin and two parrot training and behaviour seminars in Germany and the UK. If you are interested in learning more about “Force Free Animal Training,” I would love to see you! As more arrangements are made and become available, so the details will be posted on the internet links below.
