WHAT GOT YOU into keeping birds as a hobby? A follow-up question is to ask why you chose the species you did? Reflecting back to when I was a young lad, it was “budgerigars” and “colour” for me.
As a “townie”, just about all of the birds I had encountered were house sparrows, with the occasional blackbird, thrush or robin, so I was blown away by the brightly coloured green and blue budgerigars. Having acquired a couple of pairs,bird today some 75 years later. I was well and truly hooked!
