Posted February 6, 201015 yr I'm so excited as I just found out that there are a couple of bird clubs on the island I live on! They aren't specifically for budgies but appear to have many budgie lovers amongst their membership. I'm going to join one on Monday! What have you found to be the best thing about belonging to a bird club?
February 6, 201015 yr Best thing is fellowship with likeminded members. Access to additional breeders and breeding stock. Access to cheaper equipment through these clubs.

February 6, 201015 yr Author Being ignored by "experts", people getting your name wrong after overa year, wondering why you give up your time...... everyone has different expereiences!!! Wow...one would think "Dave" would be hard to screw up! But then again, I worked with a doctor and for over three years she called me Wendy...my name is Mandy...and I wore a nametag everyday ....go figure
February 7, 201015 yr I joined my club last year, I am going to be meeting some members over the next two weeks, the club is 300 klms from where I live so unfortunatly I will not get to see them on a regular basis, although I am looking forward to getting to speak with them, I already have lined up with one of the breeders on the commitee to maybe purchase some birds, I have been emailing him and he seems very nice and helpful, but like Dave's experience they probably all won't be like that as with any crowd there is always bound to be a few not so helpful/nice ones but that is okay I will just learn what I can and observe the goings on to get a better handle on showing, the club I joined is also holding the Nationals this year and I am very excited about that, can't wait to go to see the wonderful birds on show
February 7, 201015 yr Author Well, I don't think budgie showing is on the same scale here as it is in Australia but I suppose I'm most looking forward to being with others with similar interests and a love for our feathered friends
February 7, 201015 yr The best thing about joining a club is, the people you meet. You already know you have something in common, so the conversation is eazy. I've been a club member for over 40 years and have made friends arround the world. Clearwing
