But things haven’t been easy. As we all know, breeding champion exhibition budgerigars is very challenging and quality birds are hard to come by. A I helped and continues to help me breed strong healthy stock in the greatest possible numbers. In fact, without AI, I doubt that I could have ever become competitive again.

I’m so convinced of the value of A I that I have decided to share my knowledge with the world and have produced my DVD. With the aid of the DVD, I am confident that anyone can learn how to best utilise A I as a fantastic breeding aid and get the most out of their birds.

In 2006 I faced my greatest bird challange when my partnership was broken up and I was left with a decision to continue with the birds or finally walk away. My love for them was too great and I set about rebuilding my stud. Special thanks must go to Mark Chidel and John Barden who both showed me undeserved kindness and helped me to get started again. I will never forget their assistance.
