It is next year, but she wants to put money down to hold the place now. Mine's March 22 (I have 2 contracts to sign and everything will be booked), and she said her's (according to her) will be May 3. We're hoping to talk them into waiting until fall of next year, it'd be better for the guests. From my point of view at least.
Quote: This is the key. There is a difference between hoarding & having a flock or breeding birds. Hoarders get in over their heads & can't handle the pets they have. If you have the means to care for them & make sure they ARE cared for, no matter how many you have, you can never be called a hoarder. You are just a "collector" then.
As for sis, ummmm...yup! I can't say anything though. I've jumped in before I should have myself, BUT never have I agreed to marry someone after only meeting them once. To me, people like that just don't live in this little place I like to call reality. There is no way to really know someone without spending LOTS of time in their presence. Even then, sometimes they can fool you for a while, but eventually it all comes out.
Gorgeous bird and awesome pic!
Hoarding is when you give up the house to the chickens, and build a coop for yourself. I am one bird shy of that now.
We're somewhere around 50, counting the ones we will be picking up in a few weeks, but we have 10 acres for them to roam (although they stick very close to the coop.)

I have over an acre & I've lost count on the birds...LOL HOWEVER, they are all well taken care of.(With a feed bill that matches my rent each month they BETTER be.)
I'm quoting you on that.This is the key. There is a difference between hoarding & having a flock or breeding birds. Hoarders get in over their heads & can't handle the pets they have.
