Jenny,
No hard feelings. You don't have to work out Bird-o of course, as we edit it
for you ; ). We are always happy to assist anyone to put articles online. Your
articles, like those of people like Nick Lesberg and Steve Murray are truly
amazing. Anyone who reads them can immediately empathize with the love of birds
you all have. That's all we are looking for. So keep 'em coming ... Doesn't
matter where they end up does it ... And in your case you post to a number if
places, which just means more people get inspired by your interest. If Bird-o
does little more than help this process along, It'll have been worth it.
Anyone who has anything to share is welcome to get in touch. We don't expect
that the site will appeal to everyone but we do our best.
Kind regards,
Simon.
