Dear Parrots magazine,
Gory Pictures
I read with great interest the veterinary articles by Neil Forbes and his fellow colleagues and, without doubt, they are excellent and provide a lot of very accurate and indepth knowledge.

Non-stick issues
Dear Parrots magazine,
Non-stick issues
I have been using non-stick pots and pans for many years and have two Cockatiels. Reading much about this coating has increased my concern whether or not I should throw away all my non-stick pans, as I understand that when the non-stick surface becomes overheated, which it can easily do in busy kitchens, it will kill my birds. I have always been a bit puzzled as I use a lot of non-stick pans and have never experienced any problems, although I am quite careful in my kitchen and am not aware that I have unduly overheated them.
Ringnecks are great!

Recommending a light dimmer
Dear Parrots magazine,
Recommending a light dimmer
The article in December issue about parrot sleep struck an important chord with me, as I have always been concerned about how we ‘tuck up’ our birds when we turn in for the night. The article mentions the activities and noise that take place in many homes. In the wild, of course, birds will roost as the light diminishes naturally, but when in captivity, it can be a completely different situation.
Zinc Corrosion
Dear Parrots magazine,
Zinc Corrosion
I would like to point out some problems that I have encountered when building aviaries and having them galvanised. I wanted some flights built to match a building I already have available and went to what I thought was an expert in aviary manufacturing – I won’t mention any names. I produced a rough sketch of what I wanted, which included some mesh panels and some sheeted panels.
The Hawaiian 12
Dear Parrots magazine,
The Hawaiian 12
Being a busy person, I am always a bit late in reading my Parrots magazine and I have just caught up with the October issue. Excellent as usual, but I was absolutely delighted to read the article on the Hawaiian 12 and what a wonderful story with a wonderful ending.
