AHPA MEETING MINUTES
November 11th, 2007
By Makena

The meeting was held at the VCA Animal Hospital in Kaneohe. The very special guest speaker was EB Cravens. A science writer by training, EB was for years a regular contributor for AFA’s Watchbird Magazine and the Companion Parrot Quarterly. EB currently writes a monthly column entitled “The Complete Psittacine” in PARROTS Magazine out of England; and another, “The Hookbill Hobbyist” down under in the well-regarded Australian Birdkeeper. His monthly series of articles “Birdkeeping Naturally,” is sent out to bird clubs and individuals around the U.S., and is now finishing up its tenth year of publication. FB spoke to our group about parrotkeeping naturally. The program was full of wonderful ideas to enrich our parrot’s wellbeing. He answered the members’ questions and joined us for lunch. We were also very lucky to be joined by his wife April who also fielded many member questions.
