Yeah, they can be a tad vociferous, but it sure beats the sound of the
woman next door beating her husband with a saucepan...

RB> (and the worrying, that the cats might like them) 

God help any cat who tries eating a peachface.  Ever seen the beaks on
these things?  For their size, they have the strongest jaws of any bird in
the parrot family (and I have the scars to prove it).  :)

I bet his wife was real impressed whn he got them home (or maybe he went
straight up to the local pet shop and flogged them).

That will have to wait until my 6 numbers are drawn...

Why, did you fart?

Breeding them, are we?  :)

RB> scusa....I'm of to stuff 2 new motherboards...back after the bang.

See you in 2 minutes then.
