I have never heard of someone starving there hawks/falcons to hunt? It just makes for sick birds! I don't know why anyone would want to.

I love the Owls. Around my part of the country, we barely see them. I love your finches too

Annie is gorgeous! I adore hawks.

Nice collection you've got going there... I'd love to have birds, they have such big personalities! I just have a pretty severe allergy to them...

NICE Birds....Love the pictures....Here's mine

Wow. Black palm toos? Those two are yours? Nice! I got to meet a couple of those guys at the national aviary and they were pretty neat.

I also have some videos at www.youtube.com/kachinabetta. Got a few of my pets, then some video taken at the rehab barn if anyone's interested.

Awesome flock you have there Shaders! They are all beautiful too! I think that's the second Maximilian's Pionus I've ever seen... I also love all the volunteer pics... give Annie a mouse for me! :D

spk329 You must have your hands full with 2 Palms T's LOL!

Palms are no trouble at all. I breed Hyacinth Macaws in the past. That was work and NOISE and I'm talking LOUD NOISE......the Palms are a lot of fun :) It's Balls and Palms now and it's all good :)
