Since that devil, Matt Sewell, has already done one of my most promising ideas, I've been thinking of other things around this (similar but not quite) I could do.
I had been thinking of something relating to British wild life, but then I had the idea of something around parrots.
I work with and house a small parrot refuge (Potty Parrots Refuge UK). It occurred to me that I could produce a series of small parrot care guides (for different species), complete with illustrations, with the hopes of preventing the amount of birds needing to be rescued. These could be sold by the rescue to raise funds.
I need to do more research, obviously - try and figure out what species to cover (I'm thinking initially maybe 5 short books covering the most common types of bird people have; cockatoos, macaws, amazons, cockatiels, and lovebirds..maybe) and what information would be relevant and helpful. Depending on how much information, what birds etc. I may produce more than this. I would like to do one on ring necks, purely to cover the fact that these live wild in the UK now. I also feel that I should do one on African Greys, as these birds are particularly neurotic, and this is something that many people do not realise before purchasing, and as a result, many end up being moved from home to home
I also want to have a go at drawing some, and see how that turns out...luckily I have lots of models waiting for me at home.
