It would really help us to help you and answer queries, if we had a rough estimation of your location.
Different countries have different medications even for simple ailments and different resources available to them.
This information would be especially useful if you need to rehome a budgie or two, there may be someone that can help but they are not sure if they can get to you or not.
Always be safe online, so do not put your entire address or road name on the forum!
You can update your location information by doing the following
1/ Click on Profile in the blue bar along the top
2/ Click Edit Profile on the right
3/ Click Personal
4/ In the Location box, type an approximate location, even something like "2 miles from London Heathrow" would be more useful than just London.
5/ Click Save Personal Settings at the bottom
Thanks for your help!
Marianne

I’m glad you have mentioned this Marianne Marlow as I always wonder about it when answering people. I have always had Sheffield on my profile, is there not a way you could make it a required answer when creating your profile?

If outside the UK, probably country or region would suffice. There can be political reasons why some people may not wish to elaborate.

I'm always waring of trying to force people to do things and if I made a location compulsory, some people might not sign up. But, also Hezz is right, people find a way round things. Putting "planet earth" would be as useful as a chocolate teapot.

Cant agree more - it would certainly help especially if you were trying to give advice on treatments as Ivermectin is not necessarily called that in the states etc.
