From budgies to Borders

I FIRST started keeping budgerigars in about 1977. My brother gave me my first birds and then I got some from local breeders. Initially, I exhibited at local CBSes and then at a few open shows such as Teesside and Hull BS.

When my wife got asthma from the feather dust in about 2002, I had to give up the budgies because I am a long-distance driver and my wife could no longer look after
