That is right. two cages, two birds heard on opposite sides of the
room.
The only birds I have are from one rescue or another.
Currently I have two. One old disabled budgie, and the second heard
was a bird being kept while the people owned by the bird were on
vacation. I also have a Quaker and last year I lost my 23+ year old
wild caught Macaw after continueing illness and over $4,000 US in vet
bills. My avian vet bills doing this have run as much as many pay in
medical bills after insurance. I have placed a number of other birds
over the years and it seems that I am just one of those people that
get called when something happens. Captive birds do expand ones
knowledge of what a bird is and what is of value to them. This is
the one area of my birding that my wife really likes. The Quaker is
bonded to her and the two are usually attached when she is here
during daylight.
The mic setup was two ME-62's within the foam "blockhead" binaural.
I still very much like this design.
Wish you could hear it in 24/41 it sounds better.
I hope by the end of the week to be recording again with the mkh-
110's but ran into trouble with a lot of equipment last week. In
fact I am still grounded until I can get a vehicle up again as I went
through two of those last week.
