Thanks Buzzard. I've taken my medication already today

[Jayburd]

Welcome Jade have enjoyed many of your articles in Aviary Life

[Tintola]

You didn't tell me that you had joined AFF when I spoke with you several times last night! Why wasn't I told ? "I" wanted to be the first to insult you. Anyway welcome and I'm sure we will all benefit from your incessant ramblings. (PM me for putting names to the user names)

HI , welcome to the forum

[Myzomela]

ooops was just joshin .

Sorry Deb- wasn't having a go at you.
It just reminded me of how some parrot breeders look down on finch/softbill breeders because their birds are "bigger" or "cost more".
Each to their own and there are skills in both areas but I hate it when finch blokes are underestimated.

Maybe it's a case of "beak envy"!!

No Myzo its all good . Might explain why I suck at finch breeding .
No snobbery from this little black duck ...dont care what the beak shape is , if it has feathers I love it .

[Jade Welch Birds]

Thanks everyone for the welcome so far. Tintola I decided to join last night under the cover of darkness where I did not have to put up with your insults haha. Will pm you for putting names to the screen names . Jayburd glad to hear you've enjoyed the articles so far. Thanks again everyone. Hopefully I won't ramble too much .

[Pete Sara]

no more than tintolas ramblings i presume...

No hookbill envy here Deb. I like & keep both.

The reality is that few parrot breeders make good finch breeders, whilst most good finch breeders do make successful parrot breeders.

I'm sure that with his skills and eye for detail that Jade would be successful with any species he chooses.

Now I'm your proof that theory is flawed. You know how much I suck at parrots.
