Hi my names Luke, I'm from the North East of England. Not done one of these yet so here we go
FOR HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN A BIRDKEEPER?
Had a budgie as a child although my memories are vague, however in 2009 a neighbour found a budgie in their garden, I offered to take it on and try and find the owner but never did. That kindled my interest big time and since then I've owned a few more.
WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO TAKE UP THE HOBBY?
Just loved the personality of the bird, they're so friendly and inquisitive, could watch them play for hours.
WHAT'S YOUR BEST MEMORY - BIRDKEEPING OR OTHERWISE?
Bluey learning a little whistle that I taught him, used to make it whenever I entered the room, so rewarding.
ARE YOU WORKING OR RETIRED? WHAT IS/ WAS YOUR JOB?
Currently unemployed but looking as best I can, my last job was working in IT repair, lost due to circumstance regarding a driving license but hopefully get back into that field soon.
WITH WHICH PERSON, FAMOUS OR OTHERWISE, WOULD YOU MOST LIKE TO HAVE DINNER?
Stephen Fry probably, the guy is just so funny and it'd be interesting to pick his brain.
IF YOU COULD TRAVEL BACK IN TIME, WHERE WOULD YOU GO?
I would go back to an early point in my life and not make the mistakes I've made.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WON THE LOTTERY?
Everything! Huge house, huge aviary, give some to friends and family, the usual
WHAT, IF ANYTHING, WOULD YOU DO TO CHANGE THE FANCY?
WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SHOW?
Anything by David Attenborough
IF YOU COULD KEEP AN ALTERNATIVE BIRD WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I'm leaning towards either a Cockatiel or a Lovebird
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE WILD BIRD?.
Eagle
DO YOU READ ANY NATIONAL/LOCAL NEWSPAPER OR MAGAZINE?
Evening Chronicle and Daily Mirror, not a huge newspaper reader but I'll browse through them if they're lying around.
WHAT'S YOUR ALTERNATIVE HOBBY?
Music, particularly bass and starting to get into photography
IS THERE ANYTHING THAT REALLY IRRITATES YOU?
"ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK ACK"
WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE HOLIDAY DESTINATION?
Singapore
WHAT WAS THE LAST FILM YOU SAW?
Howl's Moving Castle - Extremely good
ANY FAVOURITE MUSIC?
Anything really but I prefer rock.
