splat

Well just went shopping pricing different thing if we build from scratch. I priced the cement sheeting for the out side walls and the tin for the roof. Just need to work out how much the wood for the framing will cost and then compare it to the garden shed price. Ha ha even priced the glue on lino tiles, sooooo excited. might have a nice floor yet one that is not up and down all over the place So I will have to get some one else to do the cementing as Greg can't do it straight

Thanks Shannon. We have now talked about wooden frame work just like a house then use cement sheeting for the exterier Greg thought that was a good idea. I thought good too as I can have the 12ft by 10ft that way. But we are still talking and discussing

Clearwing another member on hear started off with an old dunny 30 years ago. so yep it's all good. Have fun breeding

Hi all.... GREAT news, Greg is going to let me build or buy a new breed room. I ran it past him about buying 10ftx 10ft garden shed and deck it out how I want it but then he suggested that he might extend his garage and I have the new bit which will be 12ft wide by 10ft long yippy plus high ceiling wow. and PLUS room to move ......over the moon. So far it is only talk but at least I can do something So some type of new breed room is coming my way, so I better start saving. I can't wait but it will be a slow progress over the next few months but that's okay. I actually would love it to be 12ft x 10 ft because that will give me a small aviary too.

Never seen that Kaz but I kinda going with nubbly and treat him with a broadspectrum antibiotic.

Thanks Shannon but still have a long way to go yet this is my 5th breeding season this year. I can't count the 1st 2 years as I started over fresh on my third breeding season.

Here's an update on my breeding. I have about 12 new pair down will get pics of them soon maybe as i don't want to upset them. But here is some pics of some of my babies. This nest is that B@#@#% hen the one that attacks there are 2 of her babies in this nest the skys, the green is from another nest. She had 6 of her own with the violet cock. the other are in another nest. and these 4 are from the hen above that are in a different nest, all look sky and one maybe cobalt or violet This grey cinnamon from another nest Sky spangle sitting on perch and relaxed out of my grey and a sky spangle hen who died. on my finger and nervous His sister a grey cinn spangle and she is going to really nice, I only got 2 because I found the hen off the eggs she laid 6 and the first 2 were fertile and were all ice cold and silly me put the 2 fertile ones under another hen and threw the other away now I wished i had of put them under the hen too as the mother died, she ruptured. in the cage relaxed on my finger and nervous these two are from different nest too. I hope you all like

Maybe you can do what we did. This cage here is very similar and Greg has covered in both side to stop the rain from getting in and the added a round about 4 foot flight and it's about 4 ft wide too. we have cockatiels in this as to date I am still nagging Greg to put a roof on the extension for more protection from the weather and other birds pooping in it. Because every night I have to chase Charlie into the covered part she's a bit dumb. But still this is an idea, you can pick scraps of steel up at the tip etc . It could have more shelter (like more tin on the sides too) The door is from the origional part Greg just took if off and put in on the new part This one looks like it is the leaning Tower of piza or what ever it's called But you get the general idea Could be done out of wood too.

maybe later on she might come around But in the mean time try him with a different hen and see what you get, the brother here is throughing good stuff just like his dad

Greg really likes that one, I showed him the photos on here and he saw that one and said wow that is a nice bird and I said his white boy is the dad. I like that one the best too. Forgot to say last year he had 2 young, a white DF spangle and a grey spangle hen just like the one you have bred, and she was a cracker she had directional feather galore but she died at 8 weeks somewhere around there poor little thing.

Cute babies Kaz. Grey wings are coming along nicely

Kaz is that grey spangle out of the white boy

That grey green is really nice Kaz, oops sorry about the dads wings. Which one is he, what's his ring number I mean I was just wondering if you got he son of the violet. But still what's his ring number pLEASE

Yes really important to make sure there is no wire bits sticking up because when we did my baby aviary the year before last to my horror I found a young budgie caught of on the top of the door just hanging by his leg. He was like that all day poor little fella, I was lucky his leg mended but it was almost cut off because the ring got caught on a little tiny bit of wire that was sitting up. It is true to say if there is any danger in the aviary a budgie will find it.

Cute photos

Congratulations Squeak_Crumble really cute photo

Gee I must lead a very sheltered life as I have never heard on them Whta's the world coming too But then I never look for bird products other than the every day real bird things

Nice hens Kaz , I really think some of them lovely normal hens should jump on the plane and come to splats place As splat really really needs normal birds of good quality

The pied has plenty of spots, that greats :fear

it looks like it has been chewed on probably by her or the other bird. Babies tend to do that. :fear

Well I paired my up today and was putting them down in acouple of weeks but have changed my mind as most of them a rearing to go , so I guess I am going for it Even that violet the one that does it to the stick he was ever so keen with the hen and I haven't seen him like that ever so I guess what the heck, why waste the moment, goody goody more little violets on their way :fear And wow what good little violets they will be

lol send hr hear ill tame the best you can reap the rewards lol (just jokes )You can have her lol. I send by air lol maybe she will carm down by the time she arrives, lolbabies looking good but I really can't have a good look as she attacks. lol can you get pics of her attacking i think be pretty funny to see sorry :yuck: but im twisted like that laugh at others expence somethimes not always but this this is one them times Ha ha, laugh if you want but she is really scary lol. No serious Geoff and trevor were here today and Geoff couldn't believe, he said she's fast.lol as soon as your hand goes near the wire she is at your already :fear BUT when leaving Trevor said if I decide to get rid of her that he would like her as she is a good mum and he it doesn't worry him when they are like that as she is only protecting her young. Yeh sure she is a *****. Geoff siad that I breed bitches :fear .But even though I hate her I think I will use her again because after looking at her today , she is a really nice hen and a normal hen which I do not have many of.Yes Gb I will try and take a photo of her attcking me to give you a good laugh video would be better but Lisa has the video camera.BUT all put aside the babies a really nice. Geoff said they are really good and of good size too.Today we paired up 10 pair or so. Happy with most of them, will try and get some pots soon.Have 2 really nice spangle babies from my grey cock brother to the spangle and sky spangle who died. I through 4 eggs away and now I wish I had of kept them because they are really nice babies. Pics soon.

Very nice birds Kaz, you must be pleased with them :fear

It is to cold here in Victoria to breed really, we are having a real cold snap at the moment. I am pairing up my birds today but not putting them down for a couple of more weeks yet as it is too cold and I have a breed room. I am just deciding who's going with what. :fear
