Dr. Speers is a great guy, but I think his methods are outdated. As for kissing, I kiss every single one every single day, usually on the side of the cheek. I don't lick them. I agree about the saliva from dogs and cats, and KNOW that's correct. I don't feed them from my mouth EVER.
As for pellets, we disagree and so do many other vets and breeders and owners. We are already seeing the ill effects in cockatiels.
I totally disagree about the water pistol. Its a wonderful and efficient tool and makes living with 10 larger parrots quite possible. Of course, if they are screaming, its about something else anyway. Discover what the problem is and find the solution. Bored or anxious birds are noisy birds.
THE OUTLAW
