When I was 5 I drew a picture of a rabbit and got 3 gold stars!

Seriously, any day I go home without buying new birds is an achievement according to my wife.

As for bird keeping I had a pair of BCCB parent raise a clutch during the winter in an open aviary which I think is right up there.

Good for you! :D
I'm just starting but I've had 2 clutches of Zebras, the second clutch just fledged. I have a clutch of Societies now and my Goulds are preparing their first nest. I can't wait to see the results.
Oh and my Zebras are one white female and one regular oranged cheeked dad...they had 3 regular colored and one fawn.

1O clutches of zebra finches and now my societies are sitting on fertile eggs and my goulds, bronze wings, and stars have now built nest and could possibly have eggs in them since they are all starting to get very protective of there nests and not letting anyone near them.
Society Finches, Fire Finches, Strawberry Finches, Owl Finches, Plum Head Finch, Goldbreast Waxbill Finches, Orange Cheek Waxbill Finches, Blue Capped Cordon Finches, Zebra Finches, Bronzewing Mannikin Finches, Red-Cheek Cordon Blue Finches, and Button Quail

Getting my Strawberry babies, but the first time I have a parent-raised clutch, I will feel like I have won Olympic Gold!
