Letters: Dear Buster
Dear Parrots magazine,
Dear Buster
I would like to thank Pam Fryer for sharing with us the final chapter of this very tragic story, but also so enlightening. In fact it’s extremely important we are reminded to take every possible measure to protect our feathered family against theft, because it would be not only our heartbreaking loss, but also a serious chance that our parrots end in the hands of people who see them as ‘things’, not as living creatures even more sensitive than we humans are.
Letters: Confused
Dear Parrots magazine,
Confused
On reading the November issue, I am confused and frustrated over the different opinions and letters regarding the National Parrot Sanctuary. Either people love it or hate it. This cannot be. I have just read a report from the Sanctuary itself. They have been inspected by the RSPCA, the zoo licensing Authority, who spent six hours inspecting, and the Trading Standard officer. They were all 100 per cent happy. I have recently included The Sanctuary in my will, and now I am rather concerned.
Letters: Strongly disagree
Dear Parrots magazine,
Strongly disagree
I would like to respond to Trevor Hollings comments on unsuitability of the aviaries and that the National Parrot Sanctuary is only interested in making profit (Parrots magazine October 09). I for one strongly disagree with this for the aviaries are more than adequate and with that many parrots, most money would go into feeding and vet fees.
Letters: Feral parakeets
Dear Parrots magazine,
Feral parakeets
I have read about feral Ring-necked Parakeets and the DEFRA editorial on the Parrots’ website and am not confident that a cull will not take place.
Letters: Birdkeeping's future
Dear Parrots magazine,
Birdkeeping's future
I am becoming increasingly concerned that we are not getting youngsters into our hobby and cannot but help notice that membership of birdkeeping clubs is declining. It would appear that the interest in keeping birds is not so popular with young people as their technical gizmos are.
