I saw the edit you made to the Sun Parakeet article. Because Wiki isn't really meant to be a "how to" guide, and because your addition was just added-on to the end of the page rather than being incorporated into the existing article, I removed your addition to the article's talk page. I'd encourage you to take what you wrote, tweak it a little so as to remove some of the "how to" language, and add it back into the article. As a hint, generally, Wikipedia articles are never written to address the "second person", so no "You should..." kind of language.

I'm also amused at your description of how folks should try to approach their new conure. While what you wrote is certainly absolutely true for people meeting their birds for the first time, it's now all we can do to keep our conure from burrowing into our clothes for a cuddle; she very much wants to be close to "her flock" all the time and she wants her whole flock to be right near her; if my wife and I are separated by more than a few feet, she makes sure she can keep both of us in sight as much as possible, and, if needed, will fly to a position where this is possible.

Again welcome to Wikipedia!
