ArchieHood 3,692 Posted June 20, 2012 Report Share Posted June 20, 2012 I've never read much on this section as I thought it was just flat capped men breeding their Budgies and things,I am gradually working my way through the posts and can see how much time is put in and how rewarding the end product can be.I would love to one day be in the position to have a go myself.Top post Craigyboy. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
