Hi,


Welcome to the first Aussie Finch Forum newsletter in over three years!

If you haven’t visited the forum for a while, you may not have noticed the exciting changes that have occurred over the last couple of months. The forum has a brand new design, new leadership, and several ongoing efforts to push it forward into the social media age.


It’s a shame that the first newsletter is going out in the middle of winter, when few finches breeding, and the level of discussion on the forum similarly declines. Subsequently, there’s not a huge amount of content in this newsletter, but at least it’s a start! We’ll be putting together a newsletter every month from now on, so you can expect things to only get better from here.
