I realize that it is against net etiquette to complain about inappropriate
postings.  So, on the assumption that some people start reading and posting
to groups without reading their original charters, I'll just point out that
rec.birds was established for discussion of bird-watching and related 
issues.  It seems to me that rec.pets is the place to discuss captive birds.

That said (and I'm sure the budgie people will object, and some will say their
caged birds are not "pets"), where have the birders, bird-watchers, amateur
ornithologists, feeder watchers, etc., been lately?  Out birding perhaps.
Anyway, if there is so little traffic in what this group was supposed to do, 
perhaps the cockatoo postings are better than nothing.  I'll try to post a few
things over the next few days.
