Now I have to cut the sides and top and bottom. AND decide where and how the door is going on What do you think for a lady :glare: not a bad job Inside of The back and I need to drill air holes in yet. Inside of the Front The back and front the way it will kinda look when finished but their just leaning on each over at the moment because there is no side or top yet. Oops but the way my cutting or sawing is a bit wonky but I can't help that, been nagging Greg to buy a saw bench, seem I am becoming a budding little builder Edited October 28, 2009 by splat Link to comment

You could travel them to melbourne in a normal cage and transfer them to the box in your car just before air travel I am getting there Feeling flat and feeling tired after all this....a little depressed....Kens dad and mine all in such a short space of time Got back from Geraldton late afternoon yesterday.

Lost two at home but ones I knew had issues and would not make it. One I took with me.....died while I was in Geraldton. Ken had earlier omitted to change water in one cage and that bird got sick from contaminated sludge in its water..............so I took it with me to treat it and give it extra care.
