I commend you on this policy, guys.
I have spent a lot of time on the Net, sourcing information about emus. The conditions of some of the birds in Youtube clips is surprisingly poor. More to the point, the fact that the owners post the clips suggests that they just aren’t cognisant of that. It’s shocking to think of what must be ‘below’ that level.
Meanwhile, I am guilty – over three years now – of quietly analysing the conditions of the birds kept by BYC folk. It’s been a revelation. I don’t feel at all that it’s my right to judge or comment. But I was absolutely a ‘blank slate’ when I stumbled upon BYC, knew absolutely nothing about the care of birds. A complete noobie.
I gonna name names:
Sheriff’s set-up is exemplary: clean, neat, with a varied environment. Her birds are glowingly healthy.
E.S.’s set-up – which cares for rescued birds – is a fine thing.
The care E.H. provides for her charges is a model for all.
Foulman has (I think it’s Foulman) a lake for his birds to swim in!
Someone else has a miniature forest.
Does anyone remember the gallery of photos that Casuarius posted a couple of years ago? His birds live in a rich and carefully-considered environment; and in most of the photos, you can’t tell the birds aren’t in the wild.
The incubators show a level of time and monetary investment that has impressed me greatly.
(If I haven’t mentioned others, it’s only ‘cause their set-ups haven't turned up as clips.)
Well done!!
