Favorite magazine?

What African grey and/or parrot magazines do y'all subscribe to?

Bird Talk! I freaking love this magazine, and it was the best thing I ever did to get it every month!

 

The only thing I dislike is how objective they are about certain parrot foods, and I think they need to be pickier with their ad's, but otherwise i've gotten some major advice from it.

 

Not to mention there are always funny stories about AG's at the start of every magazine.

BirdTalk was a magazine I subscribed to for a few years. I stopped simply due to issues I had with some articles written specifically on greys that I totally disagreed with the author POV. But, thats just me.

 

I really got to where I just looked at the nice centerfolds.

I flipped through a copy of Bird Talk last night. Lots of nice pictures, but kinda light on the content...

There's a magazine called BIRD TIMES. It's much better than BIRDTALK. Birdtalk is 75% ads. They put in the ads whether they're good or not. They don't deal with larger birds very much.

 

BIRD TIMES is more expensive but their material is much more realistic and helps people with specific situations and teaches basic understanding. Unfortunately, 1 yearly subscription has 8 magazines per year but 1 of their magazines is worth 4 BirdTalk magazines.

Thanks for the head's up on Bird Times, Dave. I have been looking for a new bird magazine as I agree with Dan, Bird Talk is just not there.

I subscribed to Bird Talk for a year, but didn't renew. Oboe loved looking at the pictures, though. I don't think dogs and cats can "see" 2D pictures in 3D, but I'm pretty sure birds can. Oboe would actually regurgitate for the lovebird pictures.

I continue to subscribe to Bird Talk because I like to see the pictures plus they have listings of bird fairs, seminars and conventions around the USA but I have to agree that I do not much care for some of the content of the articles and like a lot of other magazines they are full of ads. Thanks Dave for mentioning Bird Times, I will certainly check it out.

I can't subscribe to Bird Times on-line - their website crashes when I submit the form. Sigh...

I tried to subscribe to Bird Times on the internet and... get not taking orders at this time. So sad!!!!

[Eshana]

Is Bird Times still in print? From their website I can't find an issue from much later than 2004?

[Doug]

When I went to their main page, the cover shown was from 2006.

 

I still get a slew of programming code when I try to submit a subscription...
