I am a camp counselor at a day camp this week. For a treat I brought in Roxy and taught them about having a parrot as a pet (was pretty blunt about all those toxins and what you better not do :p) All of the kids loved her and asked if I could write down everything I said about what you need to do (which made me so happy that they wanted to be responsible!) So last night I typed up this handout for the kids to give to their parents. It's brief and I mention in it to research further.

But I just wanted to know what everyone on here thought of it? How could I improve it?

Apparently my doc. file is too large to upload? It's just a one page handout. Any suggestions on making it a smaller file so I can upload it?

I tried putting into a ZIP folder to make it a smaller file. So you'll just have to "extract" it to see it. :p

Have you tried uploading it to photobucket, then copy the IMG and paste it into your message?

Good job, think you covered it pretty well.

This is our first Parrot. His name is Pepe and still a baby. ((Hatched 28APR12)) Having fun watching him grow.
Thanks for the Doc Roxy 9 2011- I am gathering all the info I can and this one is going on my fridge. =)

Thanks! As a teacher to be, I'll probably have a stack of these near my desk to hand to students if they show interest in wanting a bird. Like others on this forum, it bothers me when people want a parrot cause they think it'll be easy or they don't take it serious enough.
