No, no one's in trouble! 
I just thought it was time to encourage everyone to check their user profiles and bring their info up to date.
New users: if you want help or answers to your questions, it's immeasurably easier for people to respond if your user profile shows:
the kind(s) of birds you have
their names
where you live in the world. (NB. This does not mean you need to show us your address, just a country and/or the state in which you live will do fine).
The advice given to someone who lives in North America might differ wildly from that given to someone who's in Vietnam or Poland. If you make this info available in your user profile, it saves a lot of inquiries asking 'Where do you live?'
Older members: yes, we all know who you are and the name and species of your bird, but new members don't.
This is not a directive from staff, this is simply a request from me, Betrisher (Trish), to please update your user profile so we can help each other more easily!
