 YOU JUST LOVE taking pictures of your bird; that is, until you get another roll of film back. Then you discover that, once again, most of your shots either look washed out or like the work of a caffeine junkie.
Want to learn how to avoid camera shake and underexposure and start sharing great bird pictures with other parrot lovers? In this issue's Say cheese!, book author and amateur photographer Anne C. Watkins offers 10 great tips for getting the most out of your avian photo sessions. Follow her advice and soon you'll be the Annie Leibovitz of parrot photographers! Better living for birds
Enrichment works for parrots, too, according to studies published by research scientists at the University of California at Davis.

Over 500 voted in last issue's poll, which asked, "Which parrot would you come back as?" The winner? The African grey, with 143 votes, followed by the macaw at 113. Amazons and then cockatoos were next, followed by conures, the eclectus, cockatiels and lovebirds. It seems few parrot lovers would want to be reincarnated as a budgie.

Mattie's entertaining parrot-related fiction has appeared several times in ParrotChronicles.com, most recently in the May-June 2004 issue (The Garden Side of the Monkey Grass). This issue Mattie comes to the rescue of some parrot owners who have been spending a bit too much time lately plugging their ears with their fingers. Find out how you, too, can stop your bird from screaming in this issue's Behavior column. -- Carla Thornton, Editor
