Yay- should all be done by the time I get my bum down there to say hello. (and fill shirt up with feathered things!!)

I reckon I could survive for a year on the amount of doves we get at home, they are worse than mice at the speed their population grows and hangs around the aviary!!

:D

 

 

Here's half the slab...couldnt stand back far enough to get a good photo and besides we had to put a barrier up for the dogs...

Look at the possibility that maybe the Italian did a 'job' on the doves with a free pair of cement shoes for each one. Problemo solveoed! ;)

It just seems right that there are bird prints in a bird room, whenever one of us lays concrete we have an urge to write in it too!!!!

Just being a bit of a cheeky :D :D

We have finally ordered the new birdroom since the builder who was going to do it cannot be found ( My guess is he has taken a job up North ).

Only hassle is it will take 3 weeks to be delivered and then must be put up. Good news is its in modular sections and even Ken should be able to put that together :(

I will gather some "friends " to help him.

The new birdroom will be 4 metres by 4 and a half metres and 8 feet tall.

I have specially ordered double doors to open wide..... for Feathers's wheelchair to go through....and also so I can open it wide for ventilation when necessary. I can make up some inside doors with aviary mesh so that at times I can have the double doors open and the mesh door shut...again for ventilation and crossflow breezes.

Off the right hand end will be two flight aviaries, a door into each. Off to the side of those will be another flight aviary. Each of those will be 4 metres by 2 metres.

I should have the birdroom but not the flights finished by the time the Nationals ( budgie nationals ) rolls around.
