			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have submitted an email enquiry lately and have not gotten as response, it is not because we are ignoring you.</p>
<p>We have just found out that the contact form was not working properly and was not sending emails to us. It is now working as it should, but it could have been a couple of weeks off the air.</p>
<p>If you have tried to email us in the last couple of weeks, it would be well <a href="/contact/">worth trying to submit again</a>. If you had an urgent enquiry, we apologise for the inconvenience.</p>
<p>Blame our dodgy Webmaster.</p>
<p>Regards,<br />
Lucas<br />
Broken Head Aviaries Webmaster.</p>

<p>The photos are of the actual birds for sale. They may not be the greatest photos of the bird, but I have tried to get the angle that shows the pied feathers on the pied finches.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It has been a little busy around here lately, but I am finally getting around to working on the site a little more. The winter is starting to die out a little (although today is rainy and cold) and aviaries need to be cleaned out and prepared for the coming breeding season.</p>
<p>Anyway, as things warm up and the birds look a little better, I will be taking a lot more photos for the website. The birds for sale section is a little light on at the moment, but with a bit of work with my camera in the studio you should get a better idea of the birds I have for sale.</p>
<p>Just thought that I would tell you about the editing software that I use. I have Adobe Photoshop, but it is quite expensive and not for everybody. In fact it is my sons, as he uses it for his web design work. But I am looking at Google Picasa at the moment, which you can find from the link below. It is free, and a small download, so it should do what you want to get the photos trimmed up for the web. I will look in to it more and give you a review.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am going to give a plug to a new website that has just opened. <a href="http://www.breedersmarket.com.au/">The Breeders Market</a> is designed and maintained by my son, and he has a pretty good idea of what is going on. He is both a web designer and a knowledgable bird enthusiast, so he know what will work for bird breeders such as my self.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.breedersmarket.com.au/"><img src="http://www.brokenheadaviaries.com.au/images/ads/green_banner.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>The site contains a good <a href="http://www.breedersmarket.com.au/directory/">bird breeder directory</a>, and will feature articles on the finches, parrots, canaries, and many other types of pets and birds.</p>
<p>To get things started, The Breeders Market is offering five free premium listings in the breeders directory, which will give you the option of displaying photos and listing birds or products that you have for sale.</p>
<p>Well actually, make that four listings, because Broken Head Aviaries has just taken the first listing&#8230;</p>
<p>Check it out at <a href="http://www.breedersmarket.com.au/">www.breedersmarket.com.au</a></p>
