I agree, the birdroom is a great de-stresser at any time! Congrats on your new chicks. What kind are they?

I can't agree more. I also enjoy waking up soon in the morning just to have some few more minutes sitting in the balcony and listening to all the bird songs around. I try to keep as many plants as possible so even wild birds love to come by and sing some songs. :roll:

Awesome pictures and I cannot agree more. I have only had my pair of Gouldians for 3-4 months and I have become completely obsessed. My husband was the one whom originally wanted a bird and now I am the addict. I love sitting near the cage and watching them interact with each other and eating the various foods I experiment with. They are now starting to build a nest!! :mrgreen: My husband jokes about how enthralled I have become in such little time. Now that I have joined finchforum.com he is starting to get concerned that I am taking it too far. \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/ \:D/

It's amazing how animals can rejuvenate you even after the hardest day!

Beautiful pictures, Hoang! Man would I love to do some bird-watching in YOUR neck of the woods!

I too just love to wake up and watch the finches in the mornings as they start to eat, drink and be merry! LOL. It's a nice way to wake up and start the day. 8)
