Lee Pycroft 155 Report post Posted February 17, 2016 10 hours ago, Papajay said: Hi Everyone, I'm Jay, affectionately known as Papajay, I have had my own aviary for around a year now; though I grew up in a house with one, My brood is slightly different to the one I grew up with, I have Zebra finches (love these little fellas) 30 years ago in my Dads aviary I only really knew of the normal greys and the strawberry finches, I have to say I love the variations that are around now, I particularly favour Isabels; they seem to have great character and I find a lot tamer! I also have pied, phaeo, black cheek, fawns and a couple of normal greys. Also in the aviary I have a pair of Java sparrows and a pair of diamond doves. I developed psoriatic arthritis several years ago and it has reached a stage that I am now medically retired, so these wonderful creatures along with my writing are what keep me sane... Thank you for accepting me into your community, God bless you all... Helloooooo my friend, welcome to this great forum. Lots of info on here and lots of people with great knowledge, enjoy. A few rules for you to follow that you might not have come across yet, these also apply to the other members too especially if your name is Jane,Andrew or Claire . If you beat me in the photo comp, YOUR BARRED! Mention black cheeks, YOUR BARRED! The only time Black Cheeks or BCCFW'S can be mentioned on this site from now on is if the words are in a sentence involving such words as... Lee Pycroft, I've got some excellent black cheeks you might be interested in OR Lee Pycroft, i know someone who is selling some good quality black cheeks.

Emmy 528 Report post Posted February 17, 2016 Lee thank you for not including me in your warning (can't recall a 'Jane' registered oh this forum - could be wrong though) so I am allowed to remind you that you could have had a pair of BC as a gift from me in October. I offered to bring them down to Stafford to you but at that time I didn't know if they were show quality-- Now just to make you feel better a pair of those BC went on to get 3rd place in show. So take heed in future: ' Never look a gift horse in the mouth' (lol) Now just to rub salt into the wound: By now you perhaps would have had your BCCFW if you had accepted my offer.

Black cheeks are my fave... we get more of them and much much more superior quality specimens here in the south lol.. That extra couple of degrees makes a world of difference lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
