"I thoroughly enjoy FLock Talk! Yours is the first pet bird publication that actually offers useful advice, and provides correct information! As a biologist and self-proclaimed bird nut, I really appreciate that! Keep up the great work!" Sincerely, Diane Lahaise, Atlanta GA

"...your advice has given us excellent assistance in keeping our canary alive! The advice of other 'experts' nearly killed him, including two vets who did NOT know about canaries, and gave us dangerously wrong advice." Lianne and Joseph, LA, California

"I am very happy I found your site. I have found your help more useful than talking with my local vets, who mostly deal with other small animals. It is a site I will highly recommend to anyone with birds." Marianne

"Thank you for your wonderful information on canaries. I have been a canary lover since I was 7 years of age. I enjoy reading stories about birds in general but yours are exceptional. " Sally Leavitt

"I just wanted to say 'thanks... for being so knowlegable about canaries'. I'm researching canaries and finches. I have spent hours researching bird info on the net, and I keep coming back to your site. It is the best by far, and as a bonus, has Canadian content."   L.A. Taylor, Toronto, Canada

"I am so impressed with your site. I've learned a LOT from it, the greatest thing being that canaries are solitary birds and I don't have to get him all kinds of buddies. Thanks for all the great info!" F. Clement, USA

"Just a short note to tell you how great your ezine is... As a long time bird lover I thank you for your wonderful mag. Keep up the great work!" B. Trossman, QC

"I ordered 'Canary Tales' by Linda Hogan last year...Although I fully recommend buying the book, I find Robirda's book much more complete, easier to read with less difficulty finding information."

"Just a quick message to thank you for your prompt delivery of my CD. Your CD has done wonders for my canary,he hasn't sang for months and now he tries to out sing the CD, very fulfilling for me to watch! Thank you for a great product and congratulations on a fantastic website!"C. Patsalas
