Aussie Finch Forum

Hi All

I am sure that this is not news for some but here in africa we dont often get to meet people who know so much about our Hobby and I had the privilage of meeting Mr Russell Kingston yesterday whilst he was visiting one of our local bird dealers, I pitched up ther eto replace the 2 owl cocks that mysteriously died, and ther he was . What a great man and what a total source of information, and the great thing is that he is willing to share all his knowledge, I now have his new book that was brought out of Aus for me, as it was not avaliabe in this country untill a few days ago when he arrived, and I guess for some its ok to have his book but I have a signed copy to me in person

Just thought I would share this with you folk

Thanks

Have to agree with you he is a ball of knowledge

would be good to have him around for a look I am sure.

A great book too, you will enjoy reading it.

Glen that's fantastic. A real honour to meet someone so willing to share. He sounds like a wonderful person to meet.
Everything big with birds happens up your way...

Have you met his highness as yet.
Don't tell him about the level he has been put on.He will never get his head through a normal door way.
Remember he still puts his pants on the same way as we all do,one leg at a time.Sorry being harsh, one thing about Russell, he is most approachable and willing to talk to other bird people.

so excited Can't wait until I get to meet him at Finches '11! I have all my questions ready

I hope so otherwise Di will be after you.

she's already after me!

He is very down to earth. I had a very productive time chatting to him and the rest of the aviculturist in JHB. Great to meet so many people like-minded.

Russell's book is fantastic - it has everything any newbie finch keeper could think to want in it.
