Now Mikaela (and anyone else who is), I know you say you're a bit of a hypochondriac and I don't want you to go freak out and buy all this anti bacterial crap .. lol ..

, but I came across this article on a website, relating to cleanliness for parrots, re handling and food preperation, poisonous plants etc. Thought it might be a good source of info for us to keep our birds healthy and alive. Of course its pretty full on and like with our children, we can take all this kind of care a little too far, but its good to read up and get an idea on ways to help prevent health problems if we can.

Its a site mainly about lovebirds, but the article relates to "parrots" in general. If its infact anyone knows that some of the info is irrelevant to ringnecks, by all means please advise
I like the fact that they do slot a bit of humour in and around to lighten the whole thing.
