This weekend all my dreams and anticipations will hatch. I will reach into a nest and feel a small warm and fuzzy body.
The first for this year. There will be more but this one will be the first and that my friends will feel good.

Congrats Thom,
Good luck with your new squeeks. I just banded my first 2 yesterday and got to band 2 more today when I get home. Can't wait to see them fly.

Hey Butch, You have banded more then I have planed to have this breeding season. My operation has to be small because of neighbor constraints. They are all happy and enjoy seeing my young and flying kit birds. I plan on keeping them exactly like that! I clean daily so there is no smell and nothing but pleasing noises from mating birds.
Roy, I understand how you feel and I'm positive of your success! Your problem,(like mine) will be your big heart,
So... To parapharse...Keep the best, cull the rest!
