I'm glad you decided to stick with us, and I really hope you stay, because you sound just like the kind of person who would fit right into our nutty little group, lol.
All things considering we are not a bad lot, and I'm truly sorry you got a bit of a rough welcome
. We usually don't HAZE new members
, it's really not part of our tradition
.
It sounds like you have a nice collection of birdlings in your wonderful set up, and I'm really looking forward to some pictures in the future.
It's funny you mention your red factor Canary Stosh.....
After close to twenty years living with Lovebirds (who are btw evil little birds
), I swore off birds. That was it, no more birds!!!
This lasted until I heared a Canary singing in a Garden Center a few weeks later.
The next thing I knew, I was visiting Frank the Canary guy, and coming home with a red factor Canary, whom I named Luciano
.
Luciano, was going to be the one and only bird.... there would be no more....
Wellllll, that was untill I saw 2 bedraggled, fluffed up tiny Zebras in my Pet Shop. I was told that they were 2 old birds who someone had turned in, and they were a fraction of the regular price, and well...they ended up coming home with me.
It turned out, that they were two as yet unmoulted Zebra fledgling brothers ( Teddy and Timmy).
Then I happened to be at our Humane Society, that just happened to be overrun with Zebra finches... (Max and Micky came home with me).
One thing led to another and today there are close to one hundred birds of different species who live in my bird room and keep me busy and happy.
P.S.
I see Icearstorm already explained how to send a PM, and how to post pictures.
