Emmy 528 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 I joined this zebra finch forum after searching the internet to find a forum that would give me the answers to the many (perhaps some may think silly) questions I have re zebra finches. I havent been disappointed everyone is so willing to help. After having been on this forum and reading about the ZFS I have been thinking about joining the ZFS but as I dont 'show' the finches that I have I'm not sure if I could join? But whether I join or not I will still post here. You are all so good and have a wealth of information that you dont hesitate to share - better than can be found in books.Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Linford 4 Report post Posted January 9, 2012 I joined the ZFS first, but only just. The ZFF has enabled me to progress so fast, in 2 and 1/2 months i have built my birdroom with indoor flights and breeding cages and setup with some nice birds from some of the top breeders and i am expecting my first eggs to hatch from 7 pairs next week.If everything goes ok i am looking to show for the first time at the ZFS clubshow 2012.By the sounds of things there are others on this site who are looking to start showing this year as well, lets all meet up as novices and do the ZFS show.Many thanks to all who have helped (so far) on this site.

I went to stafford in october and met alot of people in the zfs like ricky thomas, and dave edwards and I know you will be most welcomed by them all as I was.cheerstam.
