It's great to see many new members joining the site
We have also seen many new members joining in and replying to posts.
We have also seen many new members receive a wealth of advice from some of the very knowledgeable fanciers who do frequent the site.
If you are looking for help and advice, then why not introduce yourself and let us get to know you and I'm sure in time you may well have all of your questions answered and gain much knowledge.
But I do feel it's a little unfair that there are people who just join the site and then PM random members asking for free birds and and other things things like racing systems, feeding programmes, health programmes.
I personally of late had a few of these such PM's, I cannot speak for other members as the PM facility is private.
So if you are one of these new members who have been doing this sort of thing, then don't be surprised if your PM's do not get replied to or even get a short sharp reply.
But If you are a genuine fancier, or beginner who is looking for help or advice. May I suggest you make a post to introduce yourself to members and tell us a little about yourself and the problems you are facing and the advice you are looking for.
This way I'm sure you would be welcomed to the forum and advice about your problems would be freely given.
