Letters: Is all the zinc that bad?
Dear Parrots magazine,
Is all the zinc that bad?
Over the years I have read a lot about zinc and its dangers to our birds, but am still puzzled and confused.

Letters: When we leave?
Dear Parrots magazine,
When we leave?
As the years pass, the question we all ask ourselves is “what happens to our parrots when we leave this earth?” This is a question I have heard and discussed with many other owners who are approaching the winter of their lives. The problem of course, is that most parrots are very long lived and will more than likely outlive us. But what happens then when younger family members have no interest in them and just want to move them on. So where do they go, which is the heart-wrenching dilemma we often find ourselves in.

Flies and creepy crawlies
I have been a keen advocate of natural foods for parrots and always search for the best fresh foods that are organic. Together with a lot of greens and vegetables, I include a high quality seed mix, which I buy from a very reputable supplier. I have quite a large kitchen cupboard where I keep all my pet foods for my parrots and three dogs. It is quite amazing how much I keep for them all, but will never cut corners. Needless to say, it all costs me a small fortune.

Letters: Spotted some storks?
Dear Parrots magazine,
Spotted some storks?
It was recently when travelling on a main road in the south of England, one of my children shouted out: “What is that bird Mummy?” I was driving so had to concentrate on the road, but I did see it as it flew right in front of us. I’m sure it was a heron although I did remember an article in the January issue of Parrots magazine that featured storks sharing nests with Monk Parakeets, although no sign of any Monks!

Perhaps I am a bit out of the box being 37 years old and someone who hates modern day technology. I do have a smart phone, but use it only on rare occasions when needing a phone and don’t want arthritic thumbs when I get older!
