Bird Spectacular 2012
Date: June 1, 2012
Speaker: Bryan MacCarthy
Title: From beginner to semi-pro
Bryan is a QFS committee member and has kept birds since his early days in Townsville. His presentation will span his history with finches, from those early years through to today. He will discuss the numerous challenges of balancing a busy work life, family commitments and his birds. He will cover the logistical issues of aviary building on a typical Brisbane housing block, the problems with construction of his aviaries, and his successes and failures with finches. Along the way he has some learnings to pass on from solutions with limited space to dealing with perennial suburban problems of snakes, cats and butcher birds. Working full time Bryan applies the KISS principle to his collection and will discuss his feeding mixes which are designed to allow a quick feed for the birds and avoid too many complications. This talk will be valuable for any finch keeper in a suburban setting. Don t miss it.
