Everyman

I've been asked to write an article for publication in the Louisiana Aviculture Society's monthly newsletter. This newsletter usually contains an article about a particular species of parrot, or smaller bird, and a national article that we reprint with permission. I don't consider myself an expert on any particular bird. At least not when compared to the significant experts who are members of the club.

This club is dimorphic. The controlling members are all breeders or collectors with significant numbers of birds. On the other hand, 70% of the total membership are pet bird owners with a special affection for birds. These are known at the people who pay the bills.

So the problem I'm having is do I write an article of interest to the majority of members or do I "parrot" back an article about a bird species that I've researched and cater to the sensitivities of the senior members of the group.

If you've been reading the blog for long you most probably know the answer. I'm going to write an article for everyman. If you see a variety of lengthy blogs posted in coming weeks just know that I'm trying out different topics in abbreviated form. If you see something that hits home I'd appreciate your comments. (Especially if you have a lot of experience as a writer for small local newspapers ':-).

See ya soon. - Craig
