Oh, U guys are worse than I am!!! Like my birds need one more thing..but... My dear mother suffered from depression. A curse I would not wish on my worst enemy! She was forever saying, "I don't want anything I have to fool with". ( plants, animals etc.) And then, why get out of bed in the morning? Gotta check on, care for, love on. So, friends, let's lo :) ok upon this passion for our little birdies as a healthy thing! Or, mayb we are just cuckoo???? But, in good company. :)

If this chat room needs money in the tip jar (I don't know what kinds of funds it takes) I think we all agree that a great fund raiser would be a finchoholic Tshirt sale.

You may be a finchaholic if your finch bathtub has a cute tiny rubber duckie and a tiny little towel on the side.

How about:

when you buy eggs in double flats...
or when you use a bird bath that's 2' in diameter
Favorite hobby is continuing to improve on a landscaped, weather protected, 500 sq ft mixed aviary with 23 fascinating species. 30 years in the making; currently have
19 different Finch species, 2 types of Doves, plus 23 Button Quail and 30 pair of clear Red Factor Canaries.

I always get funny looks for the amounts of eggs that I buy. People must think that I'm feeding a whole football team on a regular basis. The same goes for the amount of greens... always getting comments about "my healthy diet" :roll: . I usually come back with: Yea, I do a lot of salads...they're great with fresh mealworms :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: .

Regarding the 2' diameter bathtub.... isn't it a wee bit small for a grown man??? :wink: :lol:

You know you're a crazed finchaholic when you absent mindedly scrape cuttlebone into your wife's scrambled eggs breakfast. This is not the first time I have done this. I have also sprinkled it with charcoal.

When you find yourself at your local breeder’s house every weekend because you can’t resist more! I just recently grew my flock of two Java Sparrows and a few society finches by adding in some beautiful Lady Gouldians. Just adore finches and have since I was a child.

Lol that's me too... Haha and Everytime when you go to the pet shop you tell yourself the whole way there "No more birds, you're just looking at the breeding ones" and then upon walking into the shop you absolutely fall in love with a bird or two and end up walking back out with a bird or two. Lol that was me every time I went to the pet shop!
