Dear Visitors to HolisticBirds.com

Although we have discontinued publishing the HolisticBirds Newsletter, we are maintaining it on this site so past articles will still be available online. We are also reducing tne images and keeping only those necessary for illustrating certain articles.

Site navigation is pretty straight forward. Each HB Newsletter article is now on a single page. Links to those articles below in the back-issues index. When you have finished reading the article, use your browser back button to return to this page to find another article. You can also use the google toolbar to help search for specific information, however it may take a few weeks before google can do this accurately. Many of the page names that google has cached are no longer valid and you will get 'page not found' errors for awhile.

I would like to thank all those who contribute their time and knowledge so generously for the sake of the birds and their caring owners/caretakers. The HoisticBird discussion list continues strongly under their guidance.

However, since we intended to help support the newsletter with ads, we needed the dot com domain for the purpose.
