Just joined and I see there's a kind of template for introductions. As I'm not too keen on putting too much personal info about myself on the Net, I'll just say this, if I may: Hi my name's Jim, I'm from Australia. FOR HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BIRDKEEPER? In the 50s, the family had a huge cage made from the top and bottom of old steel water tank, about 7 feet across. Encircled with bird wire, of course. It was a bit rough, but we kids liked it, and the budgies actually thrived in it. Dad put box nests inside and the budgies made good use of them. Now, I'm trying to do a bit of reproducing myself, by building a cylindrical cage. Mine is 3 feet wide by 3½ feet high. Nostalgia is the motive, but also I just like birds of all kinds. WITH WHICH PERSON, FAMOUS OR OTHERWISE, WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE DINNER? Nigella Lawson, of course. IF YOU COULD TRAVEL BACK IN TIME, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? To the time when the first lizard decided to grow wings. IF YOU COULD KEEP AN ALTERNATIVE BIRD WHAT WOULD IT BE? A Griffon Vulture. IS THERE ANYTHING THAT REALLY IRRITATES YOU? No, there are LOTS of thing that really irritate me. Cheers.

Welcome Jim. I like your choice of a Griffon vulture, you're gonna need a bigger enclosure!

Hi and welcome to the mad er I mean birdhouse peck Loved your introduction, perhaps we should all introduce ourselves that way?! So heres my intro: FOR HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BIRDKEEPER? Since 2008, when my OH arranged for his mother to have a special breed of budgie and found out that his brother had already bought her one from the pet shop. We took on the responsibility of this budgie (my first bird) and haven't looked back since! WITH WHICH PERSON, FAMOUS OR OTHERWISE, WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE DINNER? Bill Bailey (As a side thought, IMO I think he would make a great Dr Who)! IF YOU COULD TRAVEL BACK IN TIME, WHERE WOULD YOU GO? Not very far really cause I cant live without my mod cons IF YOU COULD KEEP AN ALTERNATIVE BIRD WHAT WOULD IT BE? A Rose Breasted Cockatoo or Gallah IS THERE ANYTHING THAT REALLY IRRITATES YOU? People who lie

Not knowing what a Griffon Vulture looks like I have just researched and I must say, as vultures go, the Griffon is one of the better looking!!!
