    What parrots and Parakeets do you have? I've been looking in to Keeping Lories, Lorikeets, Pheasants and Turacos recently, Do you keep any of these?

    Message for Chris the mad person!

    Chris,

    how on earth do you manage to look after all those animals?

    Do Chester Zoo help you out? Did you say they were in the grounds of the zoo, or are they in private grounds.

    Your mad!!!

    Fiona:D
