I would like to propose an idea.. A thread geared to newcomers that covers all the basics and different views on successful parrot ownership. It would be a wiki that is continuously updated, where a number of us can contribute and offer varying methods that we practice. ie- diet: we would cover the basics and include blurbs on how some of us promote a diet heavy in pellets while others believe in a more natural pellet-free approach, etc.
The reason I suggest this is because I truly think this forum is one of the best resources for aviculture and its new and improved methods that continually evolve. (I was recently gifted with a guide on parrots that was published not too long ago, and it still contained practices that we would deem as outdated or have better alternatives for.) We have an amazing archive for people who want to dig through, but I think that if we made a master thread where we can offer a slice of all that we promote and discuss as a community, we would be able to get the information out there even more efficiently. The best thing is that because it would be a community wiki, we can offer a variety of unbiased information that newcomers can read through and take away what they feel works for them.
I know it would be a lot of work but the good thing is that this thread will continually be updated and its something we can contribute to as a community. What do you guys think? Is it too much?
