GenericBlue and myself were on our way home from picking up our birds from MB (who picked up birds from Splat on w/end) How long have you been working there?

I agree with your thoughts, I would encourage you to begin breeding good birds first, and let that be your aim. The revolution will take major time, and major people. I do not think you are cocky, and I know what you mean. Like I said, I do agree with a lot of what you are saying. Link to comment
