"...your advice has given us excellent assistance in keeping our canary alive! The advice of other 'experts' nearly killed him, including two vets who did not know canaries, and gave us dangerously wrong advice." Lianne & Joseph, LA, CA

"I am very happy I found your site. I have found your help more useful than talking with my local vets, who mostly deal with other small animals. It is a site I will highly recommend to anyone with birds." Marianne

"I thoroughly enjoy FLock Talk! Yours is the first pet bird publication that actually offers useful advice, and provides correct information! As a biologist and self-proclaimed bird nut, I really appreciate that! Keep up the great work!" Sincerely, Diane Lahaise, Atlanta GA

This site is dedicated to all of those who try to help others on our journey to a better

Okay, Jack. I promise.
