so excited!!!

[drew92]

Ok so i have dug around and done some research. now i am moving on to the next step *drum roll please* hands on experience. i was lucky enough to find a breeder within an hour of my house and she has agreed to let me volunteer on Saturdays. so i will get some great hands on experience with the help of a pro as well get to know and keep an eye out for any that stand out or choose me. however i have my eyes on either a b&g a green wing, a calico or a harlequin. out of curiosity is it normal to be this excited?

If you're not excited, don't waste the birds' time!

 

[Safira]

That's great! I love to see people getting some hands on before they take a bird like that on. That's what I did! ^_____^ Have a good time.

That's great! You should get some great hands on experience, and kudos for doing your research and not decided solely on looks when choosing the right bird for your family.

And yes, it's good that you're so excited, we have 14 birds plus some babies and eggs and I still get obnoxiously excited for newcomers

Shoveling poo....LMAO.......

The poo I can handle. If its been on a farm I've shoved it.and where I work we have an over abundance of pigeons (in a foundry of all places) so a lot of times we literally are using snow shovels and wheelbarrows to pick it up

Ok I know ill be helping out and learning while I volunteer. However I would still like to get some hints tips and advice before I start to get a bit of a head start. So please fire when ready.
Thank you in advance
