Hello everyone!

I have 5 pairs of gouldians, and 26 pairs of canaries! They are breeding and hopefully, up to now, this year seems that it is going to be a success! :)

It takes me an hour a day to feed them and take care of my birds but it is the best part of the whole day!! Now I am looking to buy some CB!

Cheers everyone
Ismail

hi Tina!

It all starts with one pair, and then another..and then another,and then perhaps a different species..and then the next thing you know you have 35 finches in your house. LOL

At least.. that's the finch fever got me..

Hi Tina, It's good to see another Mid-westerner on the forum!

For me it all began with a single pair of Zebras. Now, twenty years later, I have a small flock of Gouldians, Societies, Cordon Bleus, Strawberries, and Shaft-tails. Plus a couple of canary hens.

The "bird flu" kinda sneaks up on ya. So watch out! LOL
