Hello everyone, I'm Maggie. I live on the Sunshine Coast of Queensland, in the great land of OZ. I'm owned by so many cockatiels I can't count them all, 8 adult peachfaced lovies + one 1 week old chick, heaps of budgies, and from today, 7 baby chickens. I also have 2 dogs, 3 cats (they keep the mice away ), and a hubby too! I'm looking forward to hearing more about all your birds, and yourselves.

Hi Dawn. Nice to meet you. I've had a great day today. My hubby & I got a few more birds today, including cockatiels, peachfaced lovebirds, and 7 baby chooks (chickens). They're really cute, just one week old. It will be interesting pairing off the tiels for breeding when the weather cools down in March.

Hi Scully. Jackson, he's a bichon frise, and Jeeves (sorry I don't have a pic) is shih tzu/maltese. Both of them are dogs whose previous owners didn't want them anymore which makes me mad. They are such lovely dogs, and add a lot of pleasure to our lives.

Carmz, I think 'Newie' is a good name for it. It sounds easier, and then noone can get the other half of the word mixed up! Jackson is a wonderful little dog. He looks all cute and innocent in the pic, but he's a ball of mischief, and hates being white & fluffy. He prefers to be a lovely shade of dirt brown, or any other disgusting mess he can roll in. He also loves to bark his lungs out as people going by the side fence, especially old people who visit the optometrist across the road. He thinks they walk too slowly. Cheeky boy! Julie, I used to come in here sometimes, before the move to proboards. Julie, my Pa (grandfather) was born in Andover, Hamshire back in the 1800s. He came to Australia as a young man of 17. Yeah, I reckon UK might be just a shade colder than here. Angela and Deb, thanks for the welcomes. This board has lots of action. That's great!
