Lynn lives in a rural area south of Ithaca, New

tortoises, uromastyx, , iguana, goldfish and, of
course her breeding psittacines. Lynn earned
her Bachelor of Science degree in animal
cience from Cornell university in 1969. She
worked as a research technician in the Dept.
ofPoultry and Avian Science in the College of
Agricultre and Life Sciences of Cornell
University until 1990 when the entire lab
movedto Cornell's Division of Nutritional
Science.

Lynn owned budgies as a child. In the late
1970s she purchased a pair from Woolworth's
with no intention of breeding them. The
budgies had other ideas and began laying
and hatching eggs on the cage floor. From
that event, Lynn's life changed. Having been
bitten by the "bird bug," she acquired
lovebirds, cockatiels, Indian ringnecks, and
eastern rosellas. In 1984 she built an aviary
with the intention of housing one pair of
greenwing macaws and the smaller birds.
However, she soon purchaed a pair of timneh
greys and a pair of blue and gold macaws.
Her first blue and gold chick hatched in 1989,
her first timneh in 1991, her first greenwing
in 1993, and her first military in 2001. Now
retired from her job at Cornell, she lives in
apleasant relaxed atmosphere devoting the
majority of her time raising her birds and
caring for her pets. Lynn enjoys her hobby,
her retirement and her life.
