On several occasions recently, first thing in the morning, I have been woken by the sound of my cockatiels flying around their aviary in a complete frenzy. When I spoke to my neighbour about it he told me that a sparrow hawk had been visiting his bird table and had been catching sparrows and carrying them off. My cockatiels can see the bird table from the flight and this was obviously what was upsetting them.
Six friends and myself are all looking forward to coming to Parrots magazine’s THINK PARROTS show on Sunday 22 June. Two of us flew in from Switzerland last year and really enjoyed the talks and meeting many of the parrot experts, including EB Cravens, Rosemary Low and David Woolcock.
