nice to see someone who has such an interest in birds being recognised, makes a pleasant change from ex-politicians, scientists or retired sportspeople

....or entertainers

This is definately the sort of thing people should get awards for.
Preserving Aussie wildlife. And I'm not predjudiced any sort is OK. The fact that this time it's birds is just a bonus.
Though someone should tell him it's time to write a new addition of his book, the second hand ones are selling at $60 up on Amazon when you can get them, and only those over 10 yrs old.

Well theres a few more things i didnt know about Russell.He is a good writer.And a well deserved reciepiant of the Order Of Australia.

Go Russell! at the moment it's him, Marcus P-----d (not saying last name) and all you guys as my idles!!!!

I will say i agree with David Pace and not Russell,regarding their views on the crimson finch.As with David my experiances are simular.

[Jayburd]

there seems to be a lot of debate on that subject.

I think it all depends on the individual birds. Russell may have had aggressive birds, David/Gomer may have had non aggressive birds. Of course, this is all based on my personal view that all birds have personalities, and I know a few people probably will not agree.
