Hi Kenny

I hope you will recognise some names on here. I was registered on Karl's site too but did not frequent it as often as I would have liked due to other commitments (full time job, family, this site and photography). I really hope you find this site to be as friendly, if not feel free to let us know where we have failed. constructive critisism is always welcome. ;-)

Hello and welcome to you all,

Jimmy I would like to identify the Bird in your avatar and put these poor guys out of their misery.:grin:

It is a Collared Pratincole.

Paul H.:wink:

[jimmy]

Hi Paul,
also known as a rainbird in aussie, second part of the name is right, but my info gives me a different first part.(could be a rarer cousin) :):)

regards

jimmy:-P

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Jimmy,

Paul.:?

[kenny]

ken

[bigal47]

Hi one and all
So we all meet again although have changed me.handle back to me.old one just to confuse the members from that far place thats up north thats York-shire where they made those nice bars (chocolate type) .
Hi Kenny back up to your old self again I see ,good on y a.
For the members that don't or haven't (feel sorry for you already) know me well I am an ex UK resident that escaped back to Canada from Cornwall and forgot to bring his birds with him. All is to change very soon as new breeding rooms are under construction ,thats half the battle then to get birds to fill it usually British ,favorite is Greenies and canary's usually old varieties with a small colection of soft and seed eaters in other breeds.
So let the chatting begin and long may it last .
Good on y mate (notice the new accent getting ready for the holls soon)
Allan

[PAUL HEARN]

Paul.:grin:

[nigel]

Hi all,
Just noticed when I looked on new post what time people are on the forum, do all of you work shifts, insomniac's or is it the only time you get a spare moment from your busy bird keeping activities to go online

Nigel

[jimmy]

ken

[jimmy]

Hi Kenny,

Do you think it would be better to offer an engagement to Kenny as the next prize then mate.

My wife is recovering nicely, thanks for asking.

Sorry mate you are wrong about the avatar :):)

I saw that post Kenny :p

Jimmy

[kenny]

hi jimmy,

looks like they have gone of me on the CNAI website.i dont know why i bother.

ken

[jimmy]

Me & you both mate

whats the avatar then :razz:

[kenny]

i know that it is supposed to be a bird forum but i only said that,when things were slack whats wrong with a bit of banter,but i think i said the wrong thing.


ken

[jimmy]

No you didn't say the wrong thing Ken, i have said a lot of the off topic stuff was down to me, what John said is correct really, he's a decent fella and wasn't being funny with you.

Keep yer chin up mate :):)

Jimmy:-P

[kenny]

thanks jimmy for sticking up for me on the other site i know john is a decent bloke as he has given me some usefull stuff in the past thats why i apologised to him.


ken

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Jimmy,

Is the Bird in your avatar now a White Billed Bufallo Weaver?

One request mate, would it be possible to post the photos so that when the Birds identity has been quessed everyone knows what the hell we are all talking about?:lol:

Paul.:grin:

[jimmy]

Hi Paul,

Sorry mate, its a no :):razz::-P

When you say post the photos, do you mean, put them on here so they are bigger ?

Jimmy :grin:

[Waxbillman]

lol, welcome to the site allan!!

matthew

[kenny]

give us the nationality of it at least then

ken

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Jimmy,

I mean could you please include them in your post rather than your avatar, and then we can all look back to see the Bird in question at the time at a later date?:wink:
Also it would be great if you could post a larger photo for a clearer view on the Bird in question.:wink:

Paul H.:grin:

[jimmy]

ken

[nigel]

Thanks Jimmy,
Is there a choice of prize ?

[nigel]

Hi all
I must admit to a little bit of cheating.
I clicked on the thumb nail and clicked on save as button, the jpg still had the name on.
It was luck not knowledge that pointed me in the right direction !

Hang my head in shame
Nigel

[laurab]

LOL :razz: Well done Nigel :razz:

[jimmy]

Can;t believe you done that Nigel.

Were you born in Yorkshire. :):)

[nigel]

No need for that jimmy, all I should was a bit of inituative.(in short supply in essex)

[jimmy]

Must be in short supply for me the leave the file name as the right answer :-?:-?

[kenny]

hi jimmy ,

what a dip stick,and what a dipstick for not doing the same bet you dont do that again

ken

[jimmy]

Shame on you Ken, caught you out on the present bird hey :):)

[PAUL HEARN]

Hi Jimmy,

It's a Black Lark!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:lol:

Back to your question that was much better, but a little too good on helping us out with the answer.:grin:

I don't meen to be a spoilsport, but can we move this thread to the off topic threads please.:grin:

Paul.:wink:
