About Me

I am a small time bird breeder with approximately 85 birds, of which most are either Australian Grass Parakeets or Asiatic Parakeets, living in British Columbia, Canada. I also belong to a few local bird clubs, for whom I do alot of volunteer work. To support this not-so-cheep (hehehe) hobby, I am a computer geek during the day.

My title, The Birdman from Wilkinson Road, is an obvious ripoff of the great "Birdman of Alcatraz" movie, however it seemed rather appropriate here as well, as I live rather close to the local jail and it was a title that quite a few friends started labeling me with. LOL

I am also on Facebook, where I have some newer baby bird pictures that I have not had a chance to upload here yet.

My Interests

Birds. I used to be really into music for about 20 years, but that sort of got neglected due to my time commitment with my birds. Recently my interest in music has returned so I have been making time to seek out new music, and catch up with music that I have missed.

I'd like to meet:

Kind hearted people. They are more important than big-name stars.

I am not a pop drinker (beer or milk for me please! LOL), but I think this is really cool. Jones Soda will donate 25 cents to Vitamin Angels, a non profit group that supplies vitamins to children in developing countries, every time this video is watched.

Check out the details: Jones Soda & Vitamin Angels

Music:

An eclectic blend: 70's - early 90's punk/pop (Big Star, Elvis Costello, Go-Go's, Husker Du [and anything by Bob Mould], Minutemen [and anything with Mike Watt], Nomeansno, Pere Ubu, Liz Phair, Posies, Replacements, Redd Kross, Rev. Horton Heat, XTC, etc), folk (Richard Thompson, Spirit of the West, etc), African (Johnny Clegg, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, etc), Metal (early Metallica, Pantera, Motorhead), Jazz, Classical. Basically, a bit of everything.

Geeky Garbage Sports

Yesterday afternoon I was invited to a Croquet Tournament by a friend that calls himself the King of Garbage Sports - basically games that are arguable as to whether they are sports or games.  Ot...

Procrastination

Well, today is my first post.  Quite a few friends have set themselves up on MySpace, so I thought I probably should as well, if for no reason other to display some pictures of some of my birds. ...
