This is indeed a great loss. I had a couple of lovely conversations with Russell over the weekend in which I thanked him for his wonderful contribution via his articles, books, conservation efforts, and discoveries about our wonderful birds. So pleased I could do that in person.

He will be sadly missed and condolences to lovely Indra and family. Wonderful person!

Its true. He was fit and full of life on the weekend. Making jokes and messing around. A great loss to all us finchos. Thoughts go out to his family at this terrible time.

Having been a personal friend of Russell's for over 40 years it is a great loss.
Our avicultural journey was paralleled in so many areas.
Sunday night he even repeated the saying he made several years ago, we were at a restaurant when
he lent across the table and said. " you know all the old f..ts we used to talk about, guess what that's us know".
I hope Indra can stay strong as it is a huge loss for her.
On a selfish note a great loss to us all.
R.I.P. Russell Kingston.
