	You should know what you're getting before you subscribe.
	Just my own opinion but I'm very disappointed with the quality
	of BirdTalk magazine.  They should either stick with the 
	"KoKo is so cute" stories or fill the entire thing up with
	solid health and medical advice (which I get from better 
	journals and magazines anyway).  Instead they choose a very
	mediocre balance between the two (and even the cutsy stories
	aren't worth reading).  Recently they ran a reader poll and
	they found that MOST of the readers were women and that most
	of those were married which I found personally interesting.
	They also found that most of the readers don't give a shit
	about other birds except their own parakeets, cockatiels
	and canaries.
