Here, here Roma..........and one of the best ways of doing that is by not allowing the brilliant info that the 'old hands' have being lost to us.
We can learn so much from them and to not share this info with others would be criminal............gives us all a foundation from which to modify and streamline our own husbandry.

Chatting with these guys is priceless......and much of my own husbandry is based on such discussions (usually with a few frothies!!!) from these guys in the Hunter Valley............

Totally agree Fincho. One of the most enjoyable reads is getting an old copy of an avicultural magazine and reading about how the old timers did things in decades gone by. You often notice that many of the problems we face today they also faced back then. There is no point making the same mistakes that were made back then if we can avoid doing so.

But many of these guys never put pen to paper, so talking to them is priceless. You can often get many more valuable tidbits of information from a casual conversation- especially if lubricated with some "frothies" -than you can from a written article.

I started a topic a while ago about this very subject.
Was hoping for some interesting feedback and hopefully an article or two.

hi everyone i was just wondering how are lutino blue faced parrot finches going?
I haven't seen any around in a long time?

[E Orix]

There are a few still around.
Problem is being red eyed they don't like the bright sunlight and are better suited to indoor cages rather than our out door flights.

I didn't know that about the red eyes and sunlight! You wouldn't happen to know if it is the same with lutino
parrots?

I would presume that they would suffer the same.
Myzomela would be better to answer this.
