Hi all

thanks for taking the time to answer.

Bod welcome to the forum. The Parrot is sadly no longer significant, I used to have a Jenday Conure called Ben (the one in the Pic is a Sun Conure), he died just over 2 years ago, well before this set in. I've always known that I can't live with a cat or dog because of allergies and never planed to have a pet, but Ben was being made homeless so I ended up with him, he made me laugh for nearly 5 years before he passed on. Now I just love parrots, I won't own another one, I never really did like the concept of Birds in cage, but I couldn't see him go to a rescue centre. He was probably the most demanding and most rewarding creature I have ever known and I suspect that nothing and no one will ever be as excited to so me get home again! Ah well!

I live in Abbeywood, and yes the air there is quite poor, My flat backs on to the wood, so though the air isn't great it could be a lot worse. Luckily the GP surgery I go to has a nurse practitioner who is an Asthma expert and fellow suffer, she was the last in a long line of Doctors I have seen and the one who finally diagnosed me, I have to go back in a couple of weeks.

Have a good evening
