I was hearing what you said and just before 7.30pm Perth time the ABC extended 7 day weather report was presented and I was able to see that we are in for a nice stretch of balmy days so any fears I had of Hot Days and the risk of over-medicating were dispelled. Thank you Russel Wolf! So I moved very quickly indeed! You were right to have prodded me into a re-think. to you both. Edited February 4, 2010 by renee Link to comment

When I change the drinkers I usually give both nozzles a scrub but I have not been meticulously keeping each nozzle with each bottle! What about the risk of transmitting an illness from one aviary to another via an unsterilized nozzle? Do you think it is possible? Link to comment

Transmission is also by same shoes worn in and out of different aviaries, same clothes etc. Edited February 4, 2010 by KAZ Link to comment

Just as well I pulled the nozzles off last night and sterilized them with boiling water. shoes, clothes, etc TOO?! Well it's one for all, all for one... Another tip for Beginners: Even though you have separate aviaries, Treat your birds as One Flock. Would you agree Kaz? Link to comment

Would you agree Kaz? To a degree. Treat ( medicate ) all at the same time, BUT if issues appear in one aviary then you have to treat with seperate quarantine procedures. Keep spare shoes at the door of each aviary....shoes only for that aviary. You can purchase dustcoats ( like laboratory coats ) to cover clothing for each aviary to avoid cross contamination in anticipation of an aviary having a health issue that isnt present in the other aviary across the yard.

Well some birdrooms have all these procedures in place for "visitors" including disinfectant baths for shoes/feet as you step in ...............only a step away from the mesh under perches that you do. All protections in place Edited February 4, 2010 by KAZ Link to comment
