Growing up in an environment with my father around who had a great love for all pets, I eventually grew one too. When I was just 6, I lost my father but continued to keep his passion alive.

I brought my 1st ever pair of pigeons, Siraji (Lahori- without boots.) at the age of 10. for Rs.20. within a month of purchase, my birds began to breed and they laid 2 eggs. I, not being experienced enough at that time, didn’t look after them too well. One of the eggs broke while the other hatched a beautiful young male chic. I really loved that experience and feeling. But my mother didn’t really like the idea of me getting into any serious hobby. But she promised to get me more when I was done schooling. I couldn’t resist not having birds so I continued with them. I got more birds, including the ones from my first breeder pair. I started to breed and exchange them.

By the age of 16, I had 30 breeder pairs including fancy and high flyers. I then slowly shifted my interest into parakeets too. By then with enough experience and good luck and a great support of my mother I got my 1st two pairs of budgies and got a really good clutch from them. As I grew older my love for these little things just grew with time. Then when I got married I didn’t know if I would be able to continue with my childhood hobby.
