I had the chance to visit Murray in Austraila, so i traveled to Melbourne for two weeks. A very long trip but worth it, while i was there we spoke about the loft being extended. So here are the results, a much bigger loft for future breeding.

Yeh, looks good. I forgot about your little "enterprise" with Murray Dev. How is he doing?
I don't suppose he will be allowed back on here after his crazy outburst. Didn't think of him as a bad person though, think the red mist came over him.
Give him my regards when you next speak with him.

Murray is going through some health problems, he plods along daily seeing to the birds.

I know you had a great trip Devo and were made very welcome by Murray and Catherine with some good loft visits.
I still speak to Murray most days. Yes he does struggle, especially during their winter.

Yes Andy, Murray and Catherine welcomed me to their home, and what a welcome it was. Like a family get together, the sad thing i wish i would have met Murray and Catherine along time ago, their kindness and the time spent with them are ever lasting memories. Time you could not replace, they took me to some great places. I also met some really nice people while i was there. David Cox let us visit his loft, now he does have class birds.

Crikey, I was fat little bugger then. :lol: Working in an office for years I got fat and lazy.
I've lost more than 20 pounds, and seeing I'm 5'2'' or something, that's a lot.
Catherine and I still talk about Devo's visit. There's a paddock on the way to Bendigo where we saw a mob of kangaroos one day when Devo was with us. Even now, when we go around that bend we look to see if they are there.
It was only a brief moment in our lives, but we treasure it.

I find the reference to my "crazy outburst" interesting. Someone stated that I am not fit to keep animals. I note that you, among others, did not defend me or perhaps suggest that should be withdrawn and and an apology offered.
Far from a "crazy outburst" I know a bloke who is lucky he was not sued for slander or defamation of character.
It's been suggested that we put things behind us. I will. But I will not forget.
