Hey... How are you all? If you are like me, probably run of your feet.... just not enough hours in a day. First of all i want to wish everybody(fur, fins, feathered and scaled freinds as well) a very merry christmas and a more relaxing new year. Boy this year has been a huge year for me and my new hubby. We were married last year in December, went to Vanuatu for our honeymoon, quit my full time job in may to run our business from home... from there it has been hectic. We breed fish, cart salt water for the aquarium industry as well as breed birds. Our family includes a german shephard, a persian cat, my very best friend cougar who is a 4 yr old green indian ringneck,which is where my passion for birds stemmed from, a pair of alexandrines, a pair of chattering lories, a pair of indian ringnecks, 9 pairs of budgies, 3 pair of white masked lovebirds, a pair of lutino fischers, a pair of blue masked lovebirds and 5 pair of cockatiels..... i think that is everybody. I also hand rear most of their chicks, which is very time consuming... but hey i love doing it so it does't matter. Anyhow better keep moving... chicks are crying out to be fed. chat to you all later.

Thankyou all for a very warm welcome,i am so glad i have finally found a birdy site that actually gets used regulary.. i have found hardly anybody uses the parrot society site anymore... i wonder why? i am... or should i say my little feathered friends are keepig me very busy. currently i am handrearing 2 budgies, 4 cockatiels and 3 indian ringnecks, with more on the way. i have had a really good season this year(must be all the rain we have recieved in brissy, most of my birds have double even triple clutched this year.

Hi Indy. You have quite a collection there...I wish I could handrear, but I work full time, so it's not an option for me...This is a great site...
