Their website is still up, hopefully somebody will buy it and keep it running. I promise I'll subscribe if they do.

I posted this also. Very sad. I will miss my TTimes.

Apparently it was more due to mismanagement than anything else; TTimes had a payroll inflated to provide services to other publications the same owner ran. Presumably it was meant to make those pubs more profitable and perhaps beef up their sales value.. and the owner probably thought the deep pockets of the TB world could take the hit..

Well, as the owner of both TBs and parrots, I can tell you their "Bird Talk" magazine went out-of-business before their TB Times did. Both very good magazines & I'll miss them both.

I subscribed to "WildBird," which I liked very much. I had one issue to go on my subscription when they pulled the plug, they sent me a postcard saying they were going to substitute Hobby Farms until it expired. But I never got it, even though I was looking forward to reading it! I knew something was up with Thoro.Times when they stopped their subscriptions to Pa. Horse Breeders members. I used to like reading it every week. When it went to a biweekly, and PHBA members didn't receive it, I was pissed. Think of the people that recently renewed their subscriptions and now they've got squat.
