Yes the thing about cats is the ongoing costs. I was walking outside a while ago and I heard a singing canary and the sound was so pretty. I have a place where I could put it outside in the fresh air and also have it inside.

Have to say the love birds in oz are noisy.... though very cute. The plot thickens. When I was growing up my mum bred budgies and showed them. She had 300 of them...... They did love their milk thistles.
