Hi Curley,
Not a specific question, just was kinda curious. I know nothing
about large birds whatsoever! I love sun conures... my roommate
had one but it was the noisiest bird ever! So I just stayed with
the small birds that were not as loud. Well with the exception of
lovebirds. I don't breed birds, just enjoy them as pets. I've
never seen a Hy in person even at all the bird shows I've been to
but have enjoyed their beauty in pics and online. I've been told
they are rare, but it seems there are alot of people out there
that have them. Do you breed them for pets or breeders?
Thats basically it, just wanted to know... I see some folks can't
play well with others sometimes. I'd rather get to know those out
there on the boards if we are all going to frequent it as much as
we do! When I do have questions feel to answer them if you want...
doesn't hurt right? :)
Take care,
Kel
