New Social Group - The Dedicated Bunch

[SomePeopleHaveBirds]

SomePeopleHaveBirds has created a new social group called "The Dedicated Bunch", with the following description:

A group where if you don't have one you can join!
It's probably going to be a small group but that's ok!
A group of dedicated people is what we are and what we'll be!
Come on and join!
You can tell stories about your volenteering experiences and other stories about your birds too.

To join this group visit the social groups homepage where this new group will be listed.

You don't have to join if you don't want to. I don't really know about group activities, to be honest I haven't thought that far. I don't think I would make a good leader um but I guess I'll try.

I think this is an awesome idea for a group!

Awesome! The activities are easy, you book the site, order food and drinks, repeat next month! Lead on!
Airfare would be an added bonus, but you have tweaked my interest!

I forget these groups are even a thing, even after several years on this forum.

Forgive the somewhat cynical nature of my question, but I’m only curious: for those part of these groups, are they actually somewhat active or do they tend to go dormant pretty quickly?

I'm thinking there is a commitment in the group as much as keeping a group of people not bored. I thought they just have discussions and that's it. I thought they did activities. I figured I needed a heavily activity based routine or schedule each day to keep the members happy or else they would leave.
I should have known about the stress of bearing such a group. Yeesh, us young school people reckless with their decisions and not thinking at all, we are the main cause birds are constantly getting thrown away. Why can't we just research first, or have the knowledge to, I know some don't end up as lucky because they didn't even know about research. So it's bad for both but mainly because of the owner, even if they are child wanting someone to take care of, but if they don't do research and mess up they are guilty for mis treatment. And it would be all their fault in the end because they didn't research, they would have the guilt on their hands if they didn't meet all of the requirements, they may have met some but if you can't meet all then why even be an owner. I may not speak for all people but I guess I'm speaking for myself.
If I can't meet the requirements of the group it might come crashing down on me. And in the end a question will be asked; why did you start a group in the first place?
I guess this got a bit too serious but it is true. But I don't want to be a reckless teen, I don't want to be a person who gives away a bird. I can't do that, what if that was me being given away? I don't want to do that to a bird. I really want to be experienced I really do, and I want to be a cool successful bird owner like all of you guys. But I guess I can't rush to get experience, it's a process. It's just like school I can't rush to know everything and get to college, it's a process. I guess I'm just very worried I'll fail and not reach my goal. My goal is to be at least a successful bird owner and help a bird live a happy life along with me. But I'm starting to see I can't get there right away because it's a process, I'm too in a rush.

Lol, I should probably do that. I mean if I have enough money though.

I admire and respect your sensitivity! Don't worry about the group, just go with the flow and see what happens Nothing ventured, nothing gained!
