We are proud to announce an all-new Birds Board. No longer hosted off-site, the Birds Board is a great place to read posts from other small pet bird lovers!

Our new message board system arrives at the same time as Robirda's new FAQs & Fancies page, where you can look up frequently asked questions about your pet birds. Drop in and visit anytime, at birdsboard.com/faq/

If you can't find the answer you need, look on the Birds Board - perhaps someone else has already asked the same question.   If you need a fast response, try the new Ask Robirda service.

Entries are simple; just buy at least one of Robirda's new Bird eBooks in March or April, and your email will automatically be entered into the draw. Each purchase will give you one chance in the draw, until the contest closes April 30th. The winning email will be drawn at random, and the winner will be announced in the May 12th issue of Flock Talk.

Here's what readers have said about Robirda's Bird eBooks:

"I have your ebook on breeding canaries and just wanted to let you know... I think it's full of really helpful information, and I've been scribbling notes madly as I read."

"WOW! I love your e-book for new canary owners, thanks, this is exactly what I needed!"

"I read it straight through, I couldn't put it down, then started all over again at the beginning! I know I will be studying it over and over. Thanks so much!"

"...my son and husband laugh at me because of my total fascination with "Caruso". He sings all the time, except when he is eating and sleeping. I know he is very happy here and thanks to you, very very healthy. Thank you very much."
