Hi everybody,I am James a newbie from Aberdeen.(Finding it difficult to navigate the forum as I am no computer expert) My partner of 40 years died in July and my doctor advised that I should take up a hobby, I had bred racing pigeons,zebra finches many years ago. I decided to take up breeding budgies and am in the process of setting up the spare room as a bird room. I have breeding cages,nest boxes,disinfectants and lots of gear ready for the day when I will get 2 breeding pair. I have been researching for hours everyday for last 2 months on the internet about the does and donts about the hobby.........Boy the different opinions would make you head spin, Anyway here I am ,a new member of you forum which seems to have very nice and knowledgeable people. Bye for now. James.

Thank you Moogie, Sue,Marianne,Lesley,MickMay and Budgies Buddy for your warm welcome and kind wishes. Sue I hope to get the budgies from one of the members of the Aberdeen Budgerigar Society. Not to after the New Year .I might be going away for a few days as I havent had a break for over 4 years. Joyce had Demensia and needed 24/7 care. I would not let them put her in a home....I kept her at home until the end.
