FINCHforum

Meet Lestrade and Mrs.Hudson

I took these at the breeders so not the best photos. They are pretty nervous right now so I didn't want to bother them with more pictures. I want them to settle down in their new home. Hopefully I can post more pictures tomorrow.

Ya'll are right is addictive

What? Who? Where did these little ones come from? Was this planned????

No not planned..I was at Wal-Mart in the pet section looking at toys for the keets and this elderly lady asked me what kind of birds I had..so after we talk for a few minutes she says that she raised finches and asked if I wanted to see them..and you can guess the rest..

Kelly

Oh dear, it's a slippery slope girl, a very slippery slope.... lol.
When people start picking you up at Walmart, you know you're in trouble.

Have you checked your face in a mirror? Does it say 'I'm crazy about Finches' on your forehead ??? Haahahaah!!!

ROFL..I'm just a sucker ..really I am or just ignorant or I give off some animal vibe lol..I got one of our dogs from some people giving away puppies in the parking lot..cocker mixes they said..yeah right he weighs in at 130+lbs must have been cocker and saint bernard mix lol..but we love him

How long have you been a fincher..well bird breeder?

Kelly

LOL...... Cocker Spaniel, eh?
Google images of Landseer Newfoundland dog .

I'm a sucker for animals too, so I totally understand where you're coming from. I always say, that I love all animals better than I like most peope .

How long have I had birds?

Well I was bitten by a very large parrot on the finger as a very young child. I think I got the bug then, lol.

As a teen, I had Budgies. Later, Canaries and finches. Later, I ended up with Lovebirds, for close to twenty years. After my last Lovebird died at 18 years of age, I told myself no more birds.

Yea, right....
I heared a Canary singing in a store I was visiting......

Next thing I knew, Luciano came into my life.

I was only going to have one Canary, in a small cage in my kitchen, just one small Canary......

Yea right.....

Two little Zebra brothers followed, and a couple of Societies, and a rescued couple of Zebras, and......

I was NOT going to breed, not after the Lovebirds, never again, not me!!!

But then well...... I joined the Forum, and someone laid an egg (my white 'male' Zebra (?)

And that was only the begining..... the story continues. ....

In the end we can all part our white/grey hair put it up in a bun, shuffle off in the bushes and talk to our birds

They will think we are nuts, we will be with the only creatures that understand our senility.

Babs

I'm not crazy, I'm just a little insane.... hee-heee

lovezebs

Hee hee Crazy is a lot more fun than "normal"!

Kelly lovezebs Babs

I can completely relate....I've had birds off and on throughout my life, but within the past six months, it's exploded to 17 adults and 6 hatchlings. My husband keeps asking me when it's going to stop, and I just look at him and smile. I'm getting two owl males this weekend. I'm in love with them all! I call them my babies

slwatson

I can't wait to see pictures of your little owls

Kelly

If I can figure out how to get them on here, I'll definitely post them!

slwatson hey!! Congrats on your future new additions. Are you in need of how to post a photo? Because I can give you a step by step way to do it! Just let me know!

Yes! That would be great!
