I just want to post this as a few people have asked why i have lost all interest in Budgies. This is not true and then i get accused of only moving into bigger birds for the money, which is also not true.

 

Before I got Elmo I had put myself down on the waiting list (about August 2008) for a Quaker. I had fallen for these little rat bags and wanted to get one as a pet. I also got more and more into the breeding of birds. Now I love the breeding aspect, even when I complain about having no life as i have to go home and feed, water and clean the birds. Even when i lose a bird or they cost me money. i do like the breeding of them, but the more club meets I go to the more shows that I go to i started to notice that i had no interest in benching any of my birds, mutations and who should pair with who to get X does not interest me. My idea of pairing was who did kissy faces to the other in the aviary.

 

So after a long conversation with a few people i decided not to rejoin my local club but to do the hands on day to day stuff with Pippi and my birds and he can do all the genetic stuff and be the one to show the birds. then for a challenge we thought about getting some bigger birds and I talked Pippi into the Quakers. Now in the researching for the Quakers and the buying of them I discovered green cheeks and these little guys have stolen my heart. I made the choice to get a pair and one pair has now turned to two as i got offer a pair for a good deal.

 

Yes I am planning on scaling back the Budgies, this is not a money thing, this is not being mad at anyone thing and it is not an interest thing just more Pippi and i want to work on the grey mutation of the Budgie and get rid of everything else we have floating around and I just want to breed some pretty little things that make people smile when they come out of the box like one of my guys did at Xmas when given to my brother in laws mother.

 

I know that I will never make money on birds so please don't accuse me of doing this, it's annoying and really s**ts me!

 

Sorry for the rant, but I just needed to say this.

Sorry you feel you are the brunt of ill will. :rip:

 

Make money out of birds? You gotta be kidding! Anyone who thinks they will is seriously delusional. :sad:

I dont know who has been having a shot at you about your birds, and people will always place their own interpretation on how they see things even if it isnt really how it is. Hopefully whoever is trying to make you feel bad reads this and reassesses their thoughts and comments.

 

But everyone deserves a especially you

Ummm, I've just searched your posts trying to find where this came from, but it looks like everyone on here has been really supportive of your new purchases. Did you get this grief from somewhere outside of this forum??

Thanks guys, I got one PM that was "hidden" in nice ness, you know the kind, "In case you don't know... I am trying to help you," other stuff I got from outside this forum and just needed to rant. Sorry.

Well, I don't care what you do, you do what you like! If I wanted to do the same thing I would. There is no use going along with something you don't have the heart for just because other people think you should.

Big giant hugs!

Odd, the thought didn't even cross my mind, I guess some people should mind their own business, if you ever feel that you are harassed on this forum through PM's let any one of our ADMIN or Mods know.

Agree here. It is NOT okay for anyone to be harassed in any way shape or form, especially through PM's. Staff can deal with such memebrs if needed.

Thanks guys, it's was one of those PM that had I not had the nasty messages and comments off the board then I may have read as someone being nice and thoughtful and looking out for me, but it could also be read as negative which is why after a bit I decided to let the whole thing slide, it may never had been their intent.

 

Thanks again
