Dear Parrots magazine, Shocked! Parrots issue number 141 October. After having read Trevor Hollings’ letter regarding the National Parrot sanctuary, I was shocked by his views. I have visited this place on several occasions over the past few years and strongly disagree with him. From my experience the owner, Steve, is certainly not running the place, purely to make a profit. He provides long-term shelter and housing for over a thousand rescued parrots and takes great pride in providing each and every bird with the varied diet and care they require. I would say Steve’s only fault lies with the fact that he can never turn away a parrot in need – if, indeed, this can be classed as a fault. |

Dear Parrots magazine, Be on your guard I would just like to put people on their guard when buying birds. My neighbour, next door but two, has always been interested in parrots and every time he comes to see me, always goes on about my birds. |

Dear Parrots magazine, No more clipping Reading many articles about wing-clipping, it would seem that opinion is weighted in favour of keeping birds fully flighted. Well, I have to say that I am against clipping a parrot’s wings. |

Dear Parrots magazine, Talking Rubbish! With reference to Trevor Hollings or North Yorkshire’s letter in Parrots issue 141 October. I find it extremely difficult to believe that anyone could say that Steve, of the National Parrot Sanctuary, is only interested in making a profit and that the aviaries are not ideal or suitable for the birds there. |

Dear Parrots magazine, Parrot sanctuary There seems to be a great deal said in the avian press and forums about the National Parrot Sanctuary. Well, I have been there and was far from happy at what I saw. |

Dear Parrots magazine, Happy Family About two and a half years ago I bought a hand-reared cockatiel and called him, Billy, after the TV series, Hale & Pace - they did a sketch with characters called, Billy and Johnny that I found hilarious. I bought him a cage and some toys to play with. He seemed to get on well with his new home and soon became one of the family, that is my daughter, Sally and myself. Billy and Sally got on really well and became firm ‘mates’. |
