(7) Bonus: How did you find BYC, how long have you known about BYC, and what made you finally join our awesome community?
I've been on and off your sight throughout the past 8 years. I joined this community because I want to have chickens again and I want to find others nearby me to help me navigate the issues our City of Plantation may have regarding keeping backyard chickens.
I hope to connect with other chicken-loving neighbors here in south Florida.
Ha, Ha! The chickens we had loved the parrot and vice-versa. They would jump into his cage and scavenge around for his food scraps. He really enjoyed their company.Hello and welcome to BYC!Glad you joined.
Good luck reestablishing a flock. I hope the parrot doesn't terrorize them!
