He said they decided to try increasing his weight instead of decreasing it, but gave no reason why. [...]]]></description>

Because I like to stay aware of who is doing, saying, and selling what into the companion bird community I often follow these links.

		<description><![CDATA[Over the last few weeks I have come across several web sites and articles that offer parrot owners what seems like a real training “Silver Bullet”.
