It's about the novice going to the experienced breeders' aviaries, helping in daily tasks and learning on hand and not the other way round

hi bb all i was worried about was that the exsperianced breeder could be leaving then selfs wide open to be broken in to as they are dealing with strangers and not someone they know,its differant being at a club because you get to know that person on a monthly basis and not just a voice on the end of a phone im not saying that all people are out there to stich any one up but there are people out there that have other motives and it has happened

You have a fair point Darren. I guess that precautions will need to be taken such as getting as much information about the person visiting as possible.

hi ian it was just a thought of how it would work as breakins seem to be on the up with bird keepers,now another question lol i think mentors are great to have as a newbie but if members on here start to message breeders like your self surly there would be no need of the threads,what im trying to say is that people starting out tend to look at certain things that them selfs are going through on threads on here if people start to send messages through mail then there problems arnt being shared between us all, i thought that what this site was all about so everyone learns one thing or another im not trying to be a stick in the mud or anything lol but i do understand that newbies do need to learn one thing or another but surley ask any question about anything on here and someone will give you the answer and that way we all learn Hi Darren some people don't appear to like asking/posting questions on open forum,i would rather they p.m.me for my phone number so they can talk to me if they wish than have it where everyone can see it [i'm ex directory]or my address for reasons you state,i am quite happy for people to visit but like to talk to them first.i currently have 3 or 4 people off the forum who regularly phone me as friends,through asking for help and have visited in the past,not only for birdie talk,and i hope they continue to do so.

I guess you just arrange to meet them if they are near. Perhaps rather than putting phone numbers on an email and location are better then you can get to know them and trust eachother before anyone gets invited anywhere? exactly Marianne

I guess the local Budgerigar Societies' role is very important in this and they can choose and verify the members.

There are precautions we all have to take when we have people visiting,helping someone who is local to you is the place to start and an exchange of Mobile Numbers can do no Harm.No one come to my place unless the pass certain security checks anyway.Allan
