My first bird fair!

[Timbersmom]

Well, I finally located and was able to go to a bird fair. The nearest one was in Collinsville, IL, which is a couple of hours from me. It was great though! So much stuff and so many pretty birds. I met some nice people and got to see a lot of birds that I'd only seen in pics here on the forum before. I found a playstand for Timber, which I'd been shopping for, at a good price. I attached a pic of him finally starting to warm up to it. He has been staring at it for 24 hours now. I was able to lure him on to it with a piece of cheese and a paper towel roll (his favorite "toy").

I've been wanting to go to a bird fair too! I just missed one a few months ago and am really bummed about it! SUPER COOL PLAY STAND!!!!!

I think a bird fair is just as much fun as a county fair and you can spend just as much money. lol

Haaaa... yes, I had to put a cap on my expenditures before I went in the door. I've done all my shopping online because there aren't any retail outlets around me. It was a lot different seeing it in person. It was also good to be able to see how stuff was really "put together" because it gave me some ideas about things I could do myself. I'm not very creative, but if I have a pattern in my head I can do it!

[Timbersmom]

Aerial, I didn't even know there was such an event until I saw someone posting about it. I googled it and found out there are a few within driving distance every year. Go for it!
