I am so happy to be here with people that have the same interest BIRDS. I am owned by a cockatiel. She has taught me so much about birds in general. I live in the midwest on a farm with a huge wooded area full of all kinds of wild birds. We have a pair of red tailed hawks that live & nest, & raise their young in our woods. I can hardly wait till the male Red Winged Blackbirds arrive, they announce spring.
