-> First of all, have you got an E-mail address, if so it would make
-> communication between us much faster.
Yes, I do but I'd rather chat here about the birds.  If we did it via
email or tape, there would be no need for FidoNet...right ..This is
part of the fun with telecommunications.
-> Yes, I would be glad to chat to you about budgerigars, but I know
-> very little about cockatiels.
No problem..we both might learn something..
-> I only breed budgies in a small way, because I'm very short of space
-> here and I have to keep them indoors because I live in the kind of
-> neighborhood where we wouldn't chance having them outdoors.
Mind sharing why you can't keep them outside?  Animals, thieves,
cold...what?
-> I currently have 9 birds, but are limited as to which ones can pair
-> up because most of them are related and as we tend to get too
Well, with Tiels, you can mate a parent with an offspring without fear
of those offspring recieving all recessive genes....unlike the mating of
siblings...It would seem to me that the same would exist for budgers...
-> attached to them, we'd never dream of getting rid of any of them.
I know that feeling...
-> I can go into greater detail later, if you want.
Sure...go for it..
-> BTW, if you have a cassette recorder with built in microphone, you
-> might like to try tapesponding with me. I've been doing it for over
-> twenty years now. It involves chatting on the tape and mailing it.
-> I still have three contacts in the States and one in Australia,
-> though at one time I actually had about 30 contacts.
Sounds like too much work...  later
