Hello Jimmy!! where have you been, I have missed you, WELCOME back :laughter:

Well that did enter my mind :laughter: Really as they wouldn't get out No as you said I am smart so my smart mind will come up with something :rofl: It was funny when Greg came homefrom work, I so very proudly showed him handy work and he said with a smirk "what is it meant to be" and I so smartly explained and he said "have you got plans" and I said no just making it up as I go. He chuckled and walked down the back. I don't care wait until the finish product it will talk for it's self :fear at least I hope I should have any of these when I want my brain to work :hug:

:laughter: :hug: :rofl: hey where do you buy those thing Liv, bunnings Oh yeh as long as it makes the trip who cares if it falls apart in Kaz's shed, :fear BUT it has to hold till then:fear Just teasing Kaz

For starters you need to nuild or buy an aviary I think best position is opening facing north or east, I am not goodwith my compass thing so I may have it wrong bbit north is down the bottom right, south is to the right and east is to the left and west is up the top, any way west and south winds are the worst if I remember rightly. SOMEONE can correct me on this as I have had 3 UDL cans because it was so hot trying to build Kaz's travel cage. Anyway probably 20 birds would be enough to start with with a couple of extra hens. You need to join a club which then you can order rings extra. Then you need some type of breeding room an old she or part of your garage if you have one an old dunny that you don't use anything that you think is suitable just to get start, improvements can come later if you are serious. I hope this helps OOps you will need breeding cages also sooner or later

Thanks Ellkeiremi that's what I think image wood cut straight that's good beginning See I only use a jig saw and Greg uses his cirular saw and he cuts wonkier than me

:glare: yeh well I just got it to show Greg thinking I was so smart and I noticed it's not even square But I hope it still works

Here I have been busily nailing and gluing half inch by one inch pine on to ply board and so far I have made back and front, wire is in front already. 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

Thanks Daryl yes he is nice Here are more pics These 3 babies are from the same nest and the grey green in the 3rd picture is there dad and he is out of ny wow bird Dad Thses next 3 pics are from the same parents of the pied earlier I hope you like

He is the full brother to my white DF spangles Shannon, ya can't say he has no shoulder

Well actually some of my DF spangles cocks even hen would be masking cinnamon and opaline, Yes that's what I ment what Dean said

That's what I thought GB so he must be spangle pied, we need a better picture mainly of his back please if possable

The cocks will will normal spangle GB but split for opaline and the hens will be opaline spangle

You have some nice birds there JQ, the first cock looks opaline So you Will 50% Split opaline cocks 50% opaline hens The pied looks cinnamon and opaline so the same goes for them as above but it will be 50% split cinnamon opaline cocks 50% cinnamon opaline hens

You have some nice babies Hamish

That's becaus eopaline is sex linked. With oplaine cock and non opaline hen YOU GET 50% Split Opaline Cocks 50% Opaline hens And because you used a Df Spangle and opaline Cock all birds will be spangle Actually they all look opaline spangle to me so are they all hens

Thank you GB it was a nice nest all up I got 3 pieds out of 2 nest and a couple of nice blues and greens. Father died in the breeding box a couple of weeks ago. But left 5 fertile eggs so hoping for more pieds Here are some more sister to the violets woops need to upload some more

Here ia an update of my babies that are above but I am missing one of the white df spangles I thought this was grey spangle but I think she has turned out to be a cobalt cinnamon opaline spangle but she a a wonky leg never be able to show her but maybe breed don't know yet This is the nicest one I think so far. It is not a good picture of as I took the photo between preening himself so he is sitting funny and I will try and get better photos tomorrow mainly of the one I missed.

And here are some more young I thought this was a grey spangle but looks like a cobalt cinnamon opaline spangle out of my good white Df spangle Another light green A cobalt looks very ordinary at the moment but time will tell Another green having a rest these 2 are brother and sister of my violets A group another group that's all for now I think I might have my limit

Yes I have his and hers and a cull plus a baby aviary but at the moment all sold birds are in one and all cocks and hens are in the other and I have a pair in the cull cage mucking around, all young birds are in the baby aviary.

Myine love chicken carcase too when I give it to them and bres maunly while meal or grain that love also, I much orefer to make it daily as it doesn't take long.
