Thought I should say hi. I'm from Wollongong on the NSW SC.
I have been into birds ever since I was old enough for my old man to 'give up' a flight of his own for me. He has been into canaries and finches for most of his life. I started out with Lovebirds, because he didn't like parrots so the they me the opportunity to have birds that were completly mine.
I now keep conures, but have just finished my aviary which has a dedicated finch flight. I have/will keep Goulds, Parrot finches, Gold finches & canaries for the whistle, and what ever else I can fit in there.
The old boy has quite a few differant species which I have helped to source and am constantly encouraging him to expand his mini suburb of Taj Mahals, now that he has time, health and space.
For the record, I'm a massive Raiders fan, hence the name, and have loved living in Wollongongthis past week
I look forward to gaining a heap more knowledge from other enthuisists from this enjoyable but often heart breaking and frustrating hobby.
