Noob greetings

Hey all,

I'm another Nick from Ithaca, NY. I'm also a double major at Cornell in Natural Resources and Ecology&Evolutionary Biology. My main interest is ornithology and I'm a fanatical birder. My secondary interest is herps, and I have right now approximately ~12 geckos of three species (Leopard, Flying, Crested). Mantids are my third interest (no disrespect meant :lol: ). I have wide-arm, orchid, and ghost that I got from yen saw a bit ago. These guys are fantastic and I hope to expand my collection in the future. I'm particularly currently interested in Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii and Idolomantis.

Cheers,

Nick

What type of birds are you interested in?

Personally i have a love affair with parrots, particularly conures, but i have a soft spot for too's/tiels and macaws. Although that in no way means that i dont love all parrots!

Thank you all for the welcomes

Actually, my interest is wild birds . I don't have much interest or knowledge in captive birds, but I have worked pretty heavily with captive rehab raptors in the past. Actually, I don't even like parrots in general that much My favorite groups of birds include gulls, owls, cuckoos, and many others. I've been doing some research projects on swallows.

Cheers,

Nick

Haha.. now thats' not very kind. They do more than mantids :wink: Then again, my big fat female leo doesn't do much beside sleep and sit by her food dish begging for more. :roll:
