I think your birds are GORGEOUS !!!!!
I am new to BYC. Still stumbling through the process and sometimes not able to decipher the abbreviations EVERYONE uses.
Sometimes I think there are people who take themselves way too seriously.
Sometimes they just don't realize they are coming across a little abrupt or harsh when they don't mean to.
I have also had my feelings hurt by a response to one of my posts.
It was also by a person who had about a million posts and I think they were some kind of monitor or something.
Those are the kind of people who you would think would respond in a mentoring capacity, not with a demeaning attitude.
As a matter of fact, I have done very little posting since for fear of reprimand.
It shouldn't be that way. It should be a fun, educational and supportive place to spend your time.
Let's get over it together and get back to the fun of it all.
