After twenty years of publishing the Czech magazine PAPOUSCI, I felt it was time to take the next step in my profession. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many of you at international congresses and conferences, and I’ve visited countless breeders to write interviews and learn from your experiences. It was during these encounters that the idea to bring breeders from around the world closer together truly took root in my mind.
And so, in March 2021, my vision became a reality with the launch of AWIPARROTS, an international digital magazine dedicated to the world of parrots. This international digital magazine is my way of bringing together passionate breeders, experts, and parrot enthusiasts from across the globe.
How does AWIPARROTS work?
As a subscriber, you’ll have exclusive access to your personal user account on www.awiparrots.com. Within this account, you'll find our growing library of AWIPARROTS magazines in PDF format, available for instant download. You can read these issues on your mobile phone, ipad, or computer—whenever and wherever suits you best.
For the past few years, I have dedicated myself to upholding the highest journalistic standards and ensuring that every article is factually accurate and informative. From parrot care and breeding practices to aviary design, veterinary medicine, mutations, companion parrot care, and even species conservation, AWIPARROTS has covered a wide range of topics that matter to every breeder and parrot enthusiast.
We work with some of the most skilled and knowledgeable breeders and experts in the field, and while it might seem like everything has already been said about parrots, my experience over two decades has shown me that even the most experienced breeders can continue to learn. Every issue might contain one sentence or piece of advice that can make a difference—and that’s what makes it worthwhile.
Our mission is simple: to inform, inspire, and educate in a highly ethical way. We provide knowledge through articles but always encourage our readers to view any advice as a suggestion, as what works for one breeder or keeper may not work for another.
Professional consultations and proofreading
I place great importance on the professionalism of this digital magazine. It is a great honor for me to have expert consultations with the first lady of global parrot conservation, Madam Rosemary Low. The expert for our mutations section is the well-known author of genetic calculator, Mr. Martin Rašek. Each issue is also carefully proofread by my colleagues Hana and Christopher Ash, who ensure the linguistic accuracy.
A global community of breeders
One of the most exciting developments is our ongoing effort to create a global database of parrot breeders. Every AWIPARROTS subscriber has a "BREEDER PROFILE" within their user account. Here, breeders can share the species they breed, what they’re looking for, and even provide a few words about themselves. This is our way of helping connect breeders worldwide and create a stronger, more supportive community. This profile can be either private or public. It depends on the user's choice in the system interface.
Monthly issues for you
AWIPARROTS is published on a monthly basis. While issues may not always be released exactly on the first of the month, subscribers will receive twelve issues each year. Whenever a new issue is released, you’ll receive an email notification, letting you know that it’s ready for download in your eLibrary.
A word in conclusion
As the publisher of AWIPARROTS, I approach this magazine with deep respect for all of you—our readers, advertisers, and authors. Your feedback is invaluable to me, and I´m always open to collaboration. If you would like to share your experiences or contribute to future issues, I would love to hear from you! I look forward to continuing this exciting journey with you all. Thank you for your passion and your ongoing support.
Wishing you a good reading!
Alena Winner Founder and publisher of the AWIPARROTS digital magazine
