Regrets

[jusdeb]

Folowing on from the post I was just reading about birds being given away only to find out they were quite rare , I was wondering what bird boo boos have other people made in the past ?

Ill start ...apart from the usual learning curves one has in this hobby I must say the one that made me cringe was hearing that the Kakariki pair that just couldnt get their eggs to hatch so I sold ,have not long ago raised 4 healthy young ...not so bad except they threw 2 cinnamin and ..wait for it ...its painful ... 2 bloody Lutinos .

Kinda regret that one now .

- selling my original Tri Coloured nuns
- not making sure my temporary aviary was mouse proof (the great ra attack of 2010)
- not joining the AFF sooner
- giving away my pictorella cock

When I first started breeding birds, I kind of got into this frenzied idea of selling most of my zebras. I sold 4 of them, and had only two left. Then I realised I hardly had any birds left so had to buy more.

Don't ask me what was going through my head,

Waiting so long before getting finches.......believed they were too "delicate"

What finches were too 'delicate' ? Yes, same has happened with me, but now I am finally getting them!!!!

None specifically, just from reading up on the subject before going ahead.....must have been old books. When I finally took the plunge I went by the recommendation of the guys @ Camsal Aviaries.

Other than the now well known giving away black cheeked Zeb's, getting involved with the NPWS
