Charlie's mum and dad

Hi All
I recently found out that there is local avian group on the Sunshine Coast (Thanks Chienderace for telling me about it!). See http://www.scas.org.au/index.html
So I went along on Thursday night. Just about all of the people there were bird breeders rather than companion parrot owners which isn't a great fit for me but still I learnt a few bits and pieces (eg. one breeder told us about what weeds were safe for your bird to eat which was really good to know) and I think I will go back.
I was also pleasantly surprised to find that the person who bred our lutino, Charlie, was one of the key people involved in the club too. He used to own a local pet store here but has since retired. He has posted the stories of Charlie's parents (Sasha and Jello) to the Aussie Birds forum... and they're so cool, I just had to share!

They are pretty amazing birds and I am one of the lucky ones who gets to share my life with one of their offspring!
