Not sure about the mobile but he's the one who I reprimanded at the start for turning off the lights.
I (and I'm sure Simon) would love feedback, so please comment...
Ok,even though i did enjoy the whole presentation and loved seeing some real Hecks with decent coloured bills and body colour,the science part of it is not really my/our cup of tea for our hobby unless you are in to it.
Most aviculturists breed finches for the love of it and the pleasure of seeing young on the perch by supplying all they can for a successful breeding season in their aviaries.
So when science is applied and genetic make up and behavial attitudes between species and subspecies is explored very few aviculturists delve into this side unless it has do with mutations in our aviaries.
Let's face it,we are not all academics,no pun to Simon but we are hobbyists in the game of breeding finches in our own little part time world but if we are asked to share information about what goes on in our aviaries,that's fine but unlike me who specialises in one finch most others have mixed collections and the attitudes of some finches change dramatically when different species are mixed together.
But,i must say Simon and co do an excellent job in their field if you like that side of Aviculture and a change from
general meeting presentations to something like this can break the monotony.
IMO only Sam and not meant to offend anyone. Cheers Craig
