Perhaps it's not that the U.S. is technically advanced over Germany, but that 
we are just a larger population.  If one in ten thousand aviaculturists have 
a modem, Germany many not have users for a conference such as FIDO, but if 
Germany had a population as great as the US, you probably have even more 
users than us.

Ah yes, the male *IS* quick to nest box dive when I enter their private room, 
downstairs.  The only problem is their room is directly under our home's main 
enterence.  At first this was a problem;  they have come to know no harm 
comes to them from the overhead noise.  I should (but won't) move them.
Do you have direct contact knowledge of African Grey breeding?
It is too bad that you missed Kathy's post on Polynoma to you. If I were able 
to go back and capure it, I would.  Kathy never seems to miss a post here and 
I would expect her to retieve it for you if she can go back like I cannot (my 
BBS has a low number of messages retained).
