Now it's your turn to be the author; to share your wisdom; or to simply tell a story. We all love to hear about the experiences of others. Your finch raised babies and you wish to share in the joy. Your beloved finch of seven years recently passed away and you'd like to make a small tribute to him/her/them, I'd be honored to post it.

It's fairly simple for you to have your work posted here. All you need to do is send your story to me at seffera@seffera.net, I will then read the article and tell you know if and when it will be posted here.

There are a few rules, please read them carefully

This is only to be used for finch related stories. Other birds and family members can be in the story but the focus must be about finches. No slanderous comments, I don't want this to become an 'outrage file'. Bad things do happen and you can write about them, but the story needs to be about what you learned from the ordeal, not simply to say that this person or company is bad. Spell check your work. I'm not an editor and I really don't have time to fix 1001 spelling mistakes. A few now and then are no problem, not even I have perfect spelling all the time.

Size. Please try to keep your stories between 100 and 1000 words (or 2 pages). A few lengthy stories will probably be posted but they will have to be very good. Photos are welcome. I will edit down and size adjust if necessary. Photos must be submitted via e-mail when you submit your story. Authors rights are respected. Your name (first name at least) will be posted with your article. If you want your e-mail address posted and/or your last name, let me know and I will post them as well. I'll also be happy to link back to your website from your article.
