Posted December 5, 200816 yr Hi All. Thank you to those that have PM'd me with your welcomes. It is good to be back. For those new members that don't know. I am / was Daz that you still see some post around. I originally joined here on the 1st April 2005 and have over the last two years come and gone for a number of reasons. But this is a forum that keeps you coming back. I don't really know why but it must be for the great people that are here.... Kaz, Rainbow, Adam, just to say a few.. (Don't want to miss out on any one though) The break has done me good with concentrating on the birds. I still run up to 20 cages but usually only 17 are used for breeding. The others for nursery and show birds. Hear are few that I have breed this season..... http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/darrylw/1W011-7.jpg http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a26/darrylw/1W010-7.jpg Edited December 5, 200816 yr by Neat fixed font quotes
December 5, 200816 yr Great to see you and your birds again Daz. They are looking fantastic. You have some very significant changes there in your birds since I saw them last. I would kill for your blues As an aside........all credit to Daz who brought me from a newbie pet owner into the world of show budgies. I am forever grateful and a friend for life. You are a valued and highly esteemed member of this forum and former Admin. I am so glad to see you here. Look forward to more about your birds and aviary. Edited December 5, 200816 yr by KAZ
December 5, 200816 yr Author Thanks Kaz. I just realized that I put the same photo up a few times so changed it. It has been a long time since I did any serious Photos of my Birds so I'll have to get the camera out this weekend and do some.. Edited December 5, 200816 yr by Darryl
December 5, 200816 yr Wonderful to have you back, I saw that you came back but I wanted to give your space . Your budgies are gorgeous as you already know that, thank you for sharing and coming back
December 5, 200816 yr Author Thanks Elly .. Good to see the old crowd still going strong. I have taken the aviary a bit futher into the future with new electrical and sensors so will have to update the orginal thread.

December 5, 200816 yr Welcome back Daz. Nice looking birds. I cannot wait to see more pics. I love the Spangle - nice dark wings markings,
December 5, 200816 yr It is sooooo great to see you back Daz your birds are wonderful you differently have the width and frontal going there. I think you better post me some down for Christmas OR better still send them with Santa :28:
December 5, 200816 yr Author Well Spat you might change your mind to some of these.... Any one want to try to name them... Most should be straight forward.
December 5, 200816 yr Great to see you back... and we all love the new emoticons.... especially this one: (she has a history )
December 5, 200816 yr How in the world am I ever going to have birds like that... They look awesome Daz.
December 5, 200816 yr It's great to have you back. We missed your inputs and wisdom. It's great all the ol' famous BBCers seem to be coming back all at once (Daz, Feathers and Bea) Edited December 5, 200816 yr by Sailorwolf
December 5, 200816 yr Author Jimmy, I had some good help from a number of people, including this forum. I listened and asked questions. I wrote a post in the show breeders section about a plan I had. I think it is right. Over the next few months I will be culling nearly 100 of my birds. Starting this weekend. Most will be going for $15 each. I weant to be down to my top 50 birds before the next season.
December 5, 200816 yr Yeah I read your plan the other night. It was very good. I still don't see myself being there in 5 years.. If I lived in Brisbane I'd be at your place in a heart beat... How do you cull so heavily? I will find that hard when the time comes...
December 5, 200816 yr :hap: :hap: :hap: HEY!!!!!!!!!! YOU HAVE SOOOOOO BEEN MISSED DAZZA I've goto to rub my eyes and pinch myself, I don't know if it is real ... Ouch .. Yep i am awake ... Oh it is sooo good to see you on here again .... :D :bow: :bow: :hi:
December 5, 200816 yr Good to see ya around again- wasnt sure if you were trying to hide a little or not so I kept quiet but now... Welcome back. It was strange having a few people leaving at once- I thought I musta farted or something!! Hahaha
