Does he keep them outside fenced in? I've often thought of doing something like that, but in central Alabama, I wouldn't know which birds could survive the winter. I can't have birds indoors because I'm allergic to them, but I have bird feeders all over my back yard & right now I have so many goldfinches that they're going thru a feeder of thistle a day. If I head that direction one day, Jamie, I'd like to have his address. I've sworn that my next vacation would be Trinidad & Tobago just because of the birds.
