Lenny,

Sounds as though you have done a great job pre-planning for your
venture and you have some content birds as they are showing signs
of nesting. This is just the first stage, so keep reading, try to
get hands on experience if possible for the next stages,
(feedings, housing and caring for babies, etc.) to come and you
will do fine. And remember to keep asking questions. Never can ask
too many. Alot of good people here with valualable information for
you, even as a Novice. All of us who are birds owners were once
Novices also, and just as you are, we have asked many questions
and have done extensive research along the way. Bird education is
neverending. Just have to sometimes sift through unwanted comments
along the way. Good luck and Happy Holidays too!

Rick
