I did maintain my website however at http://bullocksbudgies.com as one day I knew I might return to the hobby. It does not have much information in it at present. I am saddened however as this forum seems to have lost all of it's budding and experienced breeders. I know people come and go in the hobby but there used to be some great people here. I am currently researching new trends in breeding, feeding and housing budgies before I make a comeback. Was saddened the other day to read of Gerald Binks illness and retirement from the hobby. He helped me a lot years ago when I was first learning. I still have a signed copy of his book 'The Challenge'. Link to comment

Like you I am interested in the show side of things. Never read Gerald Binks's book but I am well aware of his influence. Do you plan to keep any varieties in particular? Link to comment

From memory you got some of your stock from Daz last time didn't you? Hopefully you'll be able to help bring the forum back to its former glory. It really was a great forum, and still could be.

No birds or even a bird room yet. It might still be a while. Link to comment
