I feel a bit the same way Tracey, I know there are times when my birds make a whole lotta noise and it usually is the time when I want them to be quiet, I would love to find something to quieten them down. Usually I will cover them if they get too noisy, but even under the covers there is a mumble happening. I end up laughing at them, and then I can hear them laugh back (from under the covers) - it really is quite a sideshow at my house!

Chris Davis who writes for Birdtalk magazine always says what ever you do, how ever you interact with your bird/s make all those interactions trust enhancing. No punishment, no matter how "mild" is trust enhancing. Aim to avoid bad situations as someone said, make the thing you want the bird to do a positive for it, be reasonable, if you don't need to put the bird in its cage and it doesn't want to go, then wait awhile....speak and treat them like little kids, firmly but kindly. My bird doesn't bite, pluck, scream etc., and she is treated like a real member of the family.

Hi Robert, yep I've been buying Birdtalk for about ten years now, I started to read it as part of my self training prior to taking my Western Corella Dusty home from the breeders. Bit cheesed off with them though, they seem to have cut down the pages lately, from about 80 to 48-50pages, at the same price. All the best.

Raven, I like the emphasis on Companion Birds in Bird Talk. What got me interested in this mag, was that their emphasis on Companion Birds,included the small parrots. I have a companion Lovebird called Precious.I found that it was a lot easier to find material on breeding Peachface Lovebirds that it was to find material on Peachies as Companions. Bird Talk and Truelove Aviary came to my rescue.Lovely that you get it too.And that you did your research on Dusty,your Western Corella,before you acquired him/her.
