To make it easier for you to access, I have created links here to the almost 40 complete articles which are on the Left Sidebar, under Bird Care Articles, complete articles, and a few pages of Links for sites containing articles pertaining to the link page topic. I encourage you to browse through these articles, particularly the ones that warn of everyday dangers to our birds. It could well save your birds life!
 
There is so much to learn about being a guardian of birds, that no one can possibly remember everything. I retyped all these articles, but even so I refer back to them when I need information.
