Hi Poitta, is that 250 birds?
Doesn't sound like
too many to me... will run that by the missus..... ;)
I think at least 150 is a good number.
....I have a lot of hobbies (fishing, hunting, diving, motorbiking, flying, aquaria...), but not much time, but birds are the one she seems to be most interested in, so happy days.

This time last year I had 10 birds, now I have 56 and 4 on order!
This time last year I had one aviary, I now have 2 aviaries, 2 large breeding cages and 2 large holding cages.
My name is Diane and I am an addict!

Pete, I take it the ebay ad didnt work, maybe you should have listed the missus with the kids, a few $$$ thrown in may have helped as well

The advantage with kids is you can put them to work feeding the birds and cleaning the avairys. And when they move out turn their rooms into breeding rooms.
