Dear Parrots magazine,
Complacency and freaky circumstances led to one of my cockatiels escaping from my bird room, a ‘panic shout’ went up from my Yellow-collared macaws, and all my birds joined in. One cockatiel flew around the dividing curtain, across the kitchen, out into the conservatory, and over 30 feet to the window I’d opened to let in some fresh air.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I read about the karabiner with horror in last month’s issue and have witnessed similar problems with other items. We need to be so careful as to what we put in our parrots’ cages and flights.
Dear Parrots magazine,
In the north of England, we have been experiencing very cold snaps recently, which had made me conscious about my birds getting too cold. I have four pairs of cockatiels and two pairs of Bourkes in outside aviaries and, although, in a fairly sheltered position, they can become extremely cold.
Dear Parrots magazine,
In have been keeping small parakeets and finches for over 15 years and have never experienced any problems with rodents, that is, until now.
Dear Parrots magazine,
The recent harsh weather we have all been experiencing has taken many by surprise, especially at this time of the year.
Dear Parrots magazine,
I read with great interest John Hayward’s Bird Alert each month and am always frightful of people losing their birds. Our birds become part of our lives and losing one, must be like having an arm cut off.
