My sister and i used to keep budgies when we were little (10-14) We bred them a couple of times which was fascinating, watching the eggs hatch and the chicks grow- it really is amazing. My dad unfortunatly had a back spazm and fell into the aviary, broke it and the birds escaped into the forest behind us - (my sister was 12 at the time and very upset). That was when i started getting into koi and pond fish. -It all started then

Use to breed ornamental pheasants when I was a wee lad. WOudl love to re-start, but in between doing up the house and work, (and of course my fish), I barely have any time as it is.
We did have some Pekin bantams, but lost them to a darn fox at 4pm last winter. NOT impressed, we got them from a market in really bad shape, and myself and my wife spent weeks rubbing germolene into their scaley, scabby feet twice a day!!!! We shut them in every night and let them out in the morning.
Less predators in a fish tank!!!

My dad use to be into birds, of the feathered variety, in a big way and I also developed an interest in them too. At various times we kept the following: Bantam chickens, regular chickens, java doves, chinese painted quails and Budgies. Everything bred, the doves and chickens were particularly prolific.
Perhaps I should give up the fish lark and go back to birds as I had more success with them
