User:CaptainToad

Hello there, my name is Captain Toad, but you may call me Vara or Ritchie! I've had a fondness for wildlife as well as nature as a whole ever since I was a child, and I'm happy to be here to help out AllBirdsWiki! :D

I was formerly known as YellowToad.

About myself
Well, what can I say? I'm an individual from Ontario, Canada who absolutely loves animals and wildlife; however, I hope to regain more of an interest in it as time goes to make up for the years I couldn't take the time to learn more about nature as a whole. I'm known for being rather quiet in reality; however, if one ever needs a helping hand I'm always there to do my best and help. I consider myself laid back; however, I can get serious or sensitive at times. I do tend to go off topic sometimes, so please bear with me for that. ^.^"

Now my interest in birds - where did it start? Well, I've always liked birds such as the common Rock Pigeons that used to be found waddling about in my neighbourhood since I was a kid. Birds are beautiful living creatures, and their gifted ability to fly is simply inspiring! To soar up with the birds would be amazing (though out own "metal birds" in airplanes have come rather close XD). I'd like to thank StaraptorEmpoleon for bringing out a deeper interest and love for birds after I met her. I hope to learn more about them and see more of them someday soon!

As for other interests, I do have a habitat of posting around at various online forums. I'm also rather fond of video games, most notably Super Mario and Pokemon games which I have grown up with. Yes, that might explain my "slight" craze for characters such as Toad from Mario. :P I love drawing and sketching as well, and it's become more of a hobby of mine in recent years. I'm quite lazy and a big time procrastinator, I admit :P - but when something needs to be done I'll do my best to complete it.
