I wanted to join English-speaking parrot forum, so googled "parrot forum". I looked at few first positions and chose this one (I was thinking between this one and AA)
Lord I donโt even remember, first time I posted was maybe 2007, probably googled โparrot forumโ to ask the dreaded โwhat bird is best for me? Must be quiet and like everyoneโ question.
I joined after I got my rescue Penny to freshen up on mistreated parrots and share our journey. Plus I liked tge format better on this forum than others especially the ability to post pictures!
Shout out to Sailboat read his whole I love Amazon thread really much stuff that applied to quaker Penny. Il just link this jem
I plan for this to be the first of many segments as part of this Thread regarding my joy of Amazons and what I have learned over the many years from my Amazons and the leaders in the Avian field that I have met and exchanged thoughts and ideas. It will never be about me, only the Amazons I have...
I asked some parrot question on google and got linked to a thread with whatever topic I had asked. i liked the format, and I was really impressed with how supportive and non-judgmental everyone was. i had been a a breed specific dog site-whew! Those folks could be awful! It wasnโt a helpful environment, nor informative as I was apprehensive to ask a question and get their standard condescending pate answer โyour dog doesnโt get enough exercise/doesnโt respect you/ you suck. Yeah. No thanks
Thank you Parrot Forums!!! This has been just a gold mine of help
I canNOT remember, truly! It just seems like forever.
And what a blessing.
When I brought the Rb home in 1984, sources of support and information were scarce and scattered, let me tell you!
I love this place.
I also Googled forums for parrots, and found several. I checked out a few others without joining, but there was so much judgement that I didn't want to join. Then I came here and joined the same day because everyone was so supportive.
I love the members here and all the knowledge and understanding that everyone shares.
Googled parrot health issues during a time of need August 2010. Liked the vibe and joined, subsequently took a few years hiatus. Returned in earnest, still one of my favorite cyber hangouts!
