I was chatting with someone via email, and she had no idea who I was until we got talking.

I just wanted to make a brief post as to who I am. Many of you know me.

I am the Kathie who used to be with Bird Paradise. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I am no longer there. After my departure from BP, I went into somewhat of a very dark period and disappeared from here for quite some time. At the urging of many friends in the avian world, I decided to open my own on-line business, since I used to, among many other things, maintain/manage/oversee their on-line store.

I am basing the concept of my new store on what I learned over the years from folks with whom I spoke, emailed, etc. I learned about good products and bad products, good foods and bad foods. Being that they have an actual store, I had hands-on experience with the toys and saw some that I absolutely loved and others that I absolutely hated. I saw food mixes that I wouldn't feed to a squirrel, but which, on line, looked lovely. They weren't.

So, thanks to the suggetion from a wonderful member here, whose identity I will not post, I wanted to let you kniow who I am and what I am all about. I think any of you who know me are aware of my passion for birds, their welfare, safety, biosecurity and happiness. With those goals in mind, I have built my on-line store and will continue to build it.

Thanks for listening!

It worked. The discount comes off of each product, versus the total. This way, you can still get free shipping on orders of $100.00 or more even if the grand total is less. Does that make sense?

Aha!! There you are! I kind of thought that was you, but I wasn't sure. Glad to have you back and now, if you'll excuse me, I must go and check out your store. :dance5:

Kathie, so glad to see you back! I thought there was a connection there, but I wasn't sure. From previous experiences of ordering from you while you managed BP, I can tell you I was entirely impressed with your customer service, dedication to detail, and personal touch that you put on every order. I look forward to ordering from you now with your new store! :)

PS- I PM'd you.

Oh Wow, okay, I was familiar with the name of Bird Paradise online store but had no idea you were from there! So therefore I was not familiar with your name or where you were from!! Nice to meet you, Kathie!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! Please know that I am still working on the site to add new products as well as custom blends, so check back often. I am hoping to have Goldenfeast on by next week. Thank you again!
