Expert Profile: Chrys Meatyard

Expertise: I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 18 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.
Experience: Over 18 years raising parrots and over 11 years raising pigeons. Organizations: Currently, American Racing Pigeon Union. Prior member Miami Valley Bird Club, Southern Ohio Pigeon Association, National Cockatiel Society, Miami Valley Sportsman's Club, others. Publications: Monthly newsletters of bird clubs.

What do you like about this subject? I really enjoy birds and know people need help caring for them. I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Birds are fun, very intelligent, and like to interact/communicate with their human companions every chance they get (even little parakeets). I'd like to help people recognize this interaction in order to raise awareness about birds and help people learn to care for their birds properly.

Something controversial or provocative about this subject Parrots and racing (homing) pigeons do not harbour or carry diseases/illnesses that can be transmitted to humans.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? Just like everything else, there's MUCH to know/learn about aves...it's a never-ending process! Visit my website still under construction: http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/birdinfo/index.html
