Hi Ness and welcome to the madhouse that is BL. There are quite a few of our members down your way, so you'll almost certainly have chance to mee someone over the summer at shows. I'm up in Manchester, so it'll have to be virtual meeting.

Have you thought about becoming a safehouse? That way you could get some bird experience with your ACO's support and help BL out with a much needed role.

As everyone else has said, chat gets busy on Mon & Thurs around 8.30pm(ish). Oh, pictures of you and your flock (including non-feathered ones ) are always welcome.

its very rewarding to safehouse, i have at the moment 2 lesser sulphur crested cockatoos and waiting for a medium sulphur crested cockatoo to come, im a bit of a cockatoo fan but i do have african greys of my own. some birds are given to birdline with a cage, therefore some come to you with that,
