Aussie Finch Forum

I'm about to write an article for the Australian Birdkeeper's 'Syd Smith Memorial young birdkeeper's writing competition'

There are just too many things to write about! anyone got any suggestions? I'm thinking maybe a species article (it can be on any avicultural theme), but maybe that would be too hard to prove the info is all mine...

other previous winners have mostly written articles about themselves and their setups, but I thought something different may be a good idea, don't want it to look like i'm copying anyone.

anyone?

History of Aviculture in Australia? How to improve the laws in Australia to better facilitate the survival of Aviculture?
Good luck with whatever you decide.

Hmmmm.....while you are thinking about that one you could write a species article. I need one for the June newsletter.

suitable aviary plants is usually a favourite discussion point with birdkeepers, what to plant & why

what about species that are struggling to survive and what we can do >>>>dunno just pic something that interests you and Im sure it will be great.

Jay why not write something on keeping and breeding finches in cold climate environments?

These are all great ideas, thanks everyone!

I decided to write an article on the genus Uraeginthus the blue and purple waxbills.

If you like Bluebutterfly, I'll send it to you for the newsletter when I'm done?

Thanks Jayburd, Im always looking for articles from members for the newsletters. Im trying to get a reserve to pick from.

HINT HINT everyone
