Hi to everyone,

My name's Gary and I currently live in Geraldton, WA. I've kept and bred a variety of Australian finches previously and now really want to get back into it.
Two main reasons:
1. I love birds, especially finches and parrots, as a hobby.
2. I have 2 young daughters that i really want to introduce this fantastic hobby too, so that hopefully they can get the same appreciation and benefit out of it that i got from my dad.

Am just looking at getting going again so am in the process of setting up an aviary.

Cheers
Gary

Cheers guys!
Another motivating factor was that recently,for the first time ever, I saw Red-eared Firetails for sale. $800 a pair, but what absolutely stunning birds! I have the guys number and it's my goal to eventually get hold of a pair and have a go at breeding them.
