Maybe you were born into a family of bird lovers. Maybe you discovered them on your own as a teen or adult? Were you completely disinterested in birds at one time? I'd love to hear how you first got into birds. What started your passion with these wonderful creatures?
I had absolutely no interest in birds until one day years ago, I found the most beautiful Gouldian Finch at a pet store. That was it. My inner "bird person" had finally been awakened, and I absolutely had to have him! I initially went into the pet store after some fish food... I walked out with my first bird 'Adam' and a cage . At that point, I'm not even sure I remembered the fish food . My passion for finches grew, and I eventually got into parrots as well.
Looking back, it was hard to believe that I was to eventually become a "bird person" . My aunt gave my dad a cockatiel when I was a kid, and I might have glanced at it once or twice. Friends had parrots, but I didn't care. I once even dated someone with a large macaw, and I think I said something like "oh, you have a bird." I couldn't have cared less. :laughing2:
