Letters: Visit to the Vet
Dear Parrots magazine,
Visit to the Vet
I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy Parrots magazine. In a recent issue you had an article on what to expect at a veterinary visit and how to prepare.

Letters: Saskatoon berries
Dear Parrots magazine,
Saskatoon berries
Blueberries have been long promoted as a superfood for humans. Thank you to Leslie Moran for a very informative article about the benefits of feeding blueberries to your parrots.
Letters: Demanding Cockatoo
Dear Parrots magazine,
Demanding Cockatoo
I read in the April issue, Sally Blanchard’s article on manipulation which strikes great big bells with me.
Letters: The harness
Dear Parrots magazine,
The harness
When I first saw parrot harnesses advertised, I was horrified. It just seemed so unnatural for a bird with delicate feathers to have a harness strapped to it. Unlike a dog, feathers lay down in a specific order and anything that is fastened around it will ruffle up, or, even break feathers - or so I thought.
Letters: Clipping danger
Dear Parrots magazine,
Clipping danger
A few months ago I had my Lesser Sulphur-crested Cockatoo’s wings clipped by another parrot owner who appeared to know everything. He did at least trim both sides equally and it did reduce my bird’s ability to fly any distance, but I have read a lot about wing clipping and am desperately regretting I ever got it done, even though I was told this would make him safe from escape, but that was not the case.
Letters: On a Wing and a Prayer
Dear Parrots magazine,
On a Wing and a Prayer
I would like to thank Richard Strudwick and his partner, Maria Bunina, for their story about free-flying parrots.
