Aussie Finch Forum

All work and study and no play makes Deb very boring , so needing a sideline I thought Id like to sticky beak into other peoples worlds and see what hobbies / passions they have ( besides finches of course ).
So to get the ball rolling I have an assortment of finchies and grass parrots but my other playthings include tropical fish (used to breed them but no time now) , Sewing all manner of clothing and accessories for the grand kids and ten pin bowls . I also love a wonder around the local markets . Besides these I also enjoy a sitting on my bum doing absolutely nothing ..... OK your turn .
Oh if this post has been done to death already just chuck my post on the end of the other one and leave me to my ramblings...cheers all

making furniture from timber is my hobby, hard to find time for it lately though

I like to work with metal.also keep a few fish.love to play with my dog bogan.and caravaning around the place,a good reason to go to bird sales.

I keep fish too.Have a school of 30 rummy nose,4 blue rams,loaches & bumble bee golby's.
Fishing is another. Have a boat, 1000's of lures.

Well i have some rosellas as well as the finches, my spare time is taken up with the local markets and i have recently have been hooked on Bonsai, very interesting to do your own bonsai, and of coarse relax time

Mine's model making (trains) I like creating the landscapes etc, got boxes of the stuff packed up in storage till I get time to start again, the aviaries need to be done first

my hobbies are photography, woodworking, leadlighting, growing aussie plants..and of course...finishing the b.........y aviary...all my birds are in the holding aviary at the moment and they are getting frisky

I make jewellery, love to read, and my latest fad is playing Mahjongg on the computer, it is so addictive! I put on the headphones, turn up the music and can while away far too much time!
I also love going to markets but in the summer....too cold now.
I also knit baby hats for the local hospital for the premature and sick babies.

Got the Mahjong happening on my laptop , its like a sleeping pill its so relaxing....

Good for the brain too apparently, helps to keep "old timers disease" at bay
Thats my excuse when I spent too long playing it
