Aussie Finch Forum

Fincho and NRG how about you each send a series of say 10 photos of a particular family of finches to Di right now for the next newsletter.
Tintola think you need to do some bike riding to build up your legs.

The calendar sounds like a fun and useful thing to have, I would order one and am happy to help with photos where I can!!

I am not to sure about tintolas legs either,they look kind of lucky..... NO I am not going to be december as santa .....its a good idea but a bit late for 2012 me thinks...pete

would be happy to have this up as the pic for the month when most birds are fledging sorry for poor quailty pic


sounds like a great idea !

Well, Di, I started writing an article for you today, and I'll send you some pictures I'm a couple of hundred words in, but I have alot more to do, is there any word limit?

Hello All,

In retospect, I probably had the idea for a calender too late in the year. However, I am more than happy to continue this idea, but more so on a bird brerders perspective. My thoughts are each month ; we have tips/advice and ideas...for example. "by February, all gouldians should br paired up, if cage breeding".
I'm thinking at this early stage it will be a July to June calender, which means more information weighted towards the latter part of the year.

No doubt, I will need to contact the moderators of AFF to discuss the aims and goals of this little venture.

I will need the help of all members of this site, with their thoughts,advice and most importantly pictures...I will give an email address in the next couple of weeks, after I have the go ahead from the powers at be.

Please let me stress,that this calender/ideas/information publication, can only be achieved with the help of the membership.I hope that this will be something that we can be proud of, and a great endorsement of finch breeding around the world. It's up to all of us to make this worthwhile.

Cheers
Ripley

Financial year Calender sounds like the way to go. Allows plenty of time to get it together.

If the idea is instant gratification the calanders could be produced starting any month on the Shutterfly site and can be produced on an individual basis which saves the problem of excess stock since whihc is the price that's paid when you get then done cheaply via bulk order.
