I have recently had the pleasure of visiting the aviaries belonging to the one and only Jeff Attwood, Jeff has been keeping birds for more years than I have been born, so I felt very privileged to visit him.
He has the most amazing aviary I have ever seen with many good looking birds Jeff has a wealth off information and soon imparted some good advice to me, pointing out what I should look for in a good quality bird but most importantly pointing out that I am a novice so I could still make mistakes and I at this stage should not be parting with large amounts of money (not that mum would let me) I think in a nut shell Jeff was saying I should not try to run before I can walk.
Jeff is also coming to visit my small aviary, he is going to give me some pointers on the budgies I already have, and I am sure he will point out any mistakes I have made so far, he is also guiding me in the correct way to get started with the budgerigar society which in turn will enable me to get the correct rings for showing my birds when I have breed some.
