haven't been here for a while as life has had many ups and downs in the last 6 - 8 mths I lost my beautiful MIL last October, my girlfriend lost her beautiful baby boy John at 33 weeks gestation in April, then my sister passed away on the 30th June, and as I was starting to get things back on track some LOWLIFES had the audacity to come onto my property and help themselves to my beautiful breeding pairs of IRN's.
The took 2 breeding pairs that were starting to go down, and a Albino female that was paired with an Albino male and were pair to breed next year.
The first pair was a Lutino hen and a sky blue cock, that were my favourite as Henry only had one eye but was still able to breed. That is his pic in my avatar.
The other pair was a pastel blue hen and a grey cock, that I have a Grey offspring from, not sexed yet, he/she is just 12 mths old, so now I'm back to looking for more birds.
It's a real shame I now have to have security installed around the aviaries and I am now very particular with whom I show my birds to which is a pity as i am so proud of them and like to show them to others.
So just be careful everyone, because whoever took my birds knew I had them and when I wouldn't be home

Bloody heck you've had a rotten time of it lately! My sincerest condolances for the losses you have had in your life of late. I cannot imagine what you must have been - and still are - going through. {{{BIG HUGS}}} I don't allow people to come to my property. I have heard too many stories of thieves. Bet the police are unable to offer much help too. Disgusting that people would do that to another. I hope they rot!

Sorry to hear you've had such rotten luck lately. Seems as though bird theft is rife all over the world nowadays. Here in UK I never let anyone see my aviaries or pet birds because of the rotten thieves there are around. Also all our flights are padlocked and have security lighting etc. Our home is alarmed and has double entry doors back & front.............sad way to live though n owadays but unfortunately that is the reality of this century

I am so sorry you have had to go through such heartache no one is safe from thieves..its getting so bad anymore! to the point you cant trust the mailman...let alone someone you may have come & do some home repairs! thats the latest target here! thieves posing as repairmen, they come & scope over your home for valuables & then watch your movements, then hit you when your gone. I am getting very paranoid hearing of all the thefts & distruction of property these days! my heart goes out to you for all you have suffered,your to be admired for your strength to edure so much#heart#

Sorry to hear about your downfalls avril. I hope things will get better soon. Well, everyone should be aware of their pets, considering the restriction of owning the parrots. You can never have them today as you had them before. Make sure you headlocked.
