Ty's Exotics in Alberta will be importing Rhea, emu and ostrich and is looking for interest. Good chance to get yourself some Rhea and a road trip to boot :)

Do you have contact info? I really want Rhea, a friend use to breed them about 20 years ago, but got out of them and now they are impossible to find.

Why did I know Jim's would be the first reply?
Can we all meet you DW?
I am starting to be intrigued. Does she have any unusual hobbies herself?? sky diving? bungie jumping? helli- skiing?

I resemble this remark OC! As a scuba diver (Divemaster level) and previous hovercraft pilot (I was young and it sometimes didn't end well) I dispute that those hobbies mentioned are unusual. I personally haven't got around to them yet but I don't think you should cast nasturtiums. I'm sure Jims DW is lovely and as normal as it's possible to be around Jim!

Hahahahaha! Oh dear! Mental image of a group of very staid,, dignified people bungee jumping while throwing nasturtiums at giant BBQ'd drumsticks

Yep my other half is very normal, she has to balance my large degree of anormal behaviour. She is not an animal person at all, which is actually probably good or we would be out of control.

I doubt I will be getting any weird birds, I have been in contact with Tyler and he is going to send me info next week. Rhea are expensive around $1000 for a pair and have proven problematic to breed, at least in the past. He is making a trip to Ontario in mid-May though so I might she what other stuff he has.
