You spent a lot of work putting all this information together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for posting the mutation macaws on your Facebook profile. Yes, we got about 5 inquiries for them. Unfortunately, all of them just want to know their price. There was nobody seriously interested who could afford these extremely rare \u201cdiamonds\u201d for a high-end parrot breeding collection. Let see, maybe after this issue, somebody seriously interested will come\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please continue your efforts for this great magazine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wwbirds.co.za\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Dr.-med.-vet.-Friedrich-Janeczek-150x145.jpg\" alt=\"Dr. med. vet.

I really enjoyed the article \u201cSO! You\u2019re Gunna Build a Finch Aviary Then? \u201c By Marcus Pollard. He has a nice style that builds confidence. I was surprised to see my article on how to make Fruit Fly Bowls on pages 32 and 33.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wwbirds.co.za\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Nancy-Ingram-Strawberry-finch-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Nancy Ingram Strawberry finch\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Nancy Ingram &#8211;&nbsp;Strawberry Finches<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>You have taken on a huge job in trying to cover so many species of birds but your magazine seems to have something for everyone. It is very impressive. The only thing I don\u2019t like is the 2 column format which is a bother if the magazine is not printed out and a person has to scroll to the top of the page to continue reading. If one column were text and the other pictures or advertising it might solve what I perceive as a problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have attached an article for your consideration. I will not be offended if you choose not to use it but let me know one way or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Editorial:<\/em><br><em>Thank you, Jim, just the feedback I am looking for. The two-column format is mainly designed for smartphone readers to make full use of the reading mode in Adobe. I am working on it to see how we can improve the reading experience for both laptop and cell phone readers. Thank you very much for the article, it is in this edition<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wwbirds.co.za\/dir\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Jim-Smith-Canadian-Dove-Association-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Jim Smith Canadian Dove Association\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Jim Smith &#8211;&nbsp;Canadian Dove Association<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>I read the USA one on the plane today (I\u2019m in Atlanta, GA for the ExoticsCon conference). I liked&nbsp;it, especially Tony Silva\u2019s article as I have read&nbsp;his stuff before and know some of the people he&nbsp;refers to in his article. The diet one was excellent.&nbsp;They did not sugar coat the recipes and make it&nbsp;look too easy It\u2019s important to follow directions&nbsp;on those, don\u2019t cut corners as that\u2019s when bacterial&nbsp;and fungal contamination can happen.<br>Also, saw my business card ad!!
