Thank you Rosemary Low (Parrots, Issue 239, December 2017) for stating "We must never forget a parrot is a parrot and needs to be treated like one, and not as a substitute child". I have never understood why many owners of companion parrots appear to desire their birds to be human beings with feathers.
I must say that I agree entirely with Rosemary Low’s comments on the extended use of parrot harnesses in the December 2017 issue (239) of Parrots magazine. It is undoubtedly a subject that will polarise people’s opinions, with some vehemently opposed to parrots wearing harnesses, while others find their use invaluable.
I was at a craft fair and saw some items that I thought would make an interesting toy for my Amazon. It was made of wood and a type of raffia tie-up., which I thought would be OK.
