Wow, now this is a topic I have to save to my computer...very interesting.

Hi

I really think that if someone shows a photo of a bird that is in an overly small cage; or two birds in a cage designed for one, then the natural reaction of bird-lovers is to say how lovely the birds are and then to advise on getting a more suitable cage.

Similarly with any other issues of concern.

Personally, I don't think it's a case of asking for such advice ~ by joining the forum and putting one's birds on show here, members can expect appropriate comments.

If something is wrong, then it is right to criticise and advise. what I will say, though, is that this must be done constructively, positively and politely.

If someone is scared off, then they won't be around to heed any good advice.

I'm not criticising anyone, by the way, just giving y opinion.

I completely agree. I think if someone really loves their birds they should be willing to here constructive critism, and tipps on how to improve it. I know I've been geen advice on here many times, I take it very serious and try to improve what is being said whether it be what kind of perches I have for my bird or the size of her cage.

I completely agree with the PDM. The reason's people join this forum is for advice about there bird's but when someone is asking for that advice we should be able to do it with constructive critism not rudely otherwise these people asking the question is not going to get help and neither is there bird's. A lot of us on here started out with smaller cages than what we were supposed to have and when someone brought it to our attention we changed it but we have to watch how we say things so we are not hurting other peoples feelings. The only other advice I can give is post the way you would want others to post to you.

P.S. Trey there is lots of topics on here that can help you with correct cage sizes and lots of other things as well so if you need help finding that let us know and I am sure someone here is willing to help including me.

i completly agree, advice should be givin with respect, not scolding. im totally up for any advice anyone gives me i mean if im doing something wrong please please please tell me. i do not want my birds to be hurt or unhappy. no one deserves to be yelled at or scolded, unless they are beating the animal or starveing the animal on purpose.

speaking of tacos...I'm kinda hungry

I also agree though, because like when I as new I was told that having only two wooden perches was hard on the feet I went out and bought comfy perches, I wasn't insulted or anything, I took it as everyone ttrying to help me better myself as a bird parent.
