Dear Parrots magazine,
Your article in the July issue about neutral rooms has worked a treat. I have a Green-cheeked Conure and I wanted some company for him as he seemed somewhat forlorn on his own. It was at that time that a friend of a friend, who bred Maroon-bellied Conures offered me one of his birds that was surplus to requirements and about three years old, which was a similar age to my own Conure.
It was free and seemed an ideal opportunity, although I was concerned about them getting on with each other. After reading Sally Blanchard’s article on the neutral room, which couldn’t have been published at a better time for me, I went ahead and introduced the birds in one of our spare bedrooms. The two immediately got on brilliantly together and I would certainly recommend using a neutral room to anyone else.
