Hay bluedawg, We all know where you are coming from, as there was a time when each of us was there and looking for support from some one or any one that could offer you some kind of support.
Penny or (AKA) Talon made a good point as we are all faceless people behind a computer screen. But as you read you will notice that many members will share the same opinions on excepted methods when it comes to our companion birds.
Even we who have had parrots for many, many years have seen methods and opinions change over the years.
Example; Many years ago wing clipping was widely accepted for training and control, not so much now as we understand our birds better.
Penny our admin and we as mods do our best to stop bad imfo. from being spread on our forum.
If you follow generally accepted methods offered by members as a group things should go OK.
