Nathan, If you do have a keen interest in birds then please don't let some of the sarcastic and bullish comments I've read in this thread turn you away from this forum. There are plenty of good people on here who are more than happy to help with your queries.

Thanks Nathan

bleeding green,

i don't think anyone on here is being particularly "sarcastic" and definitely not "bullish". there are however, a number of people who are trying to steer nathan into a more realistic and responsible approach to his bird keeping.

far more constructive advice than encouraging someone to engage in wanton collecting and neglect.

One meter = 3.2808399 feet.
Three meters = 9.8425 feet (rounded off).
Three meters squared = 88.59 square feet (rounded off).

I'm not being picky, just happen to be one of those disadvantaged to still be using the archaic inch, feet, yards. ;)

Dont worry Sierra , I still use the old imperial system when I'm quilting ...being that most patterns are American . Bit confusing

Apparently I'm in the minority, but I think we should "bite the bullet" and change to the metric system. It just makes so much more sense.

I remember when I was in elementary school (@40 years ago) one of my teachers explained the superiority of the metric system, and in frustration opined that we would probably never switch.

Yep one or the other .

That's what "approx" means sierra ;) . Over here many old farts like me (& I suspect Deb's hubby

) will talk all day in metres but then measure their shed as 10'x10', that being the old fashioned maximum non permit size but 3x3m is smaller and no one wants to sell sheds in non whole numbers so they rounded up when they wrote the new regs years ago.
