*What happened to all the NICE folks that were happy to discuss pet birds?
*Neither group has SO much traffic that it's a bother to get some articles
*not interesting to you. Personally, I find them ALL interesting. Over the
*years I have had a variety of pets (dogs, cats, guinea pigs, snakes, rats)
*and currently have birds. I feed and am interested in the wild birds as
*well. I can't be the only one!

*Fred

I have to agree with you Fred. I too am a person with many interests,
and two overlapping ones are birds: i love to watch the ducks,
Canadian geese and blue heron that live in the pond outside my window,
and i love to play with my pet buggies. (And will with my
soon-to-arrive baby cockateil.) I too would like a more focused group,
but, I FIND THEM ALL INTERESTING: the bird"er" questions and the bird
questions. 

Also... i never recieved ANY SORT of disclaimer when i subscribed to
the group saying that it was only about outdoor birds -- i just landed
in a raging debate, and stuck around to see the results. In the mean
time i became interested in all the posts, so i am still here. 

I hope that this will be resolved SOON, so that those who are unhappy
with the situation can once more smile.
