Kat 3 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Have you come to the safety of here after the bashing you took on IFF? lol Ooooh I smelt it coming!!!! Nice to see your first post is a little more realistic on here Sorry I dont live nearer or i'd have helped you out a bit I really think you need to get a few things in place including land and permission and experience before you even start fretting about what bird you might fancy.. HH's a useful bird and will go on for many a year improving providing you do too.. please dont look at one as a step up to something better or more 'cool'. 2 Quote Link to post

clifford 11 0 Posted October 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 150 pound to have a day out with some birds is a lot off money when you think about the things you can buy for your bird i will get in touch with the club but for the day i think i will give it a miss for now must be some one at there that dont mind a halping hand Quote Link to post
