okay here is my pics for you take a look room wize good light wise with sun roof on the sky light bad , but with doors open good with out the shade cloth on the sky light great heat wise get to 50 to 60 degree on hot day in Summer the wood walls and roof took it back to 37 45 shade sale on top another 10 off thats controllable with right plan good thing is it stays at 15 on cold nights but in winter can drop to 4 in their but cold doesn't hurt only draft im happy to answer questions but ill send you my e mail as this my last post here had to get pics as i said my shed faces north and makes no differences as im in a gully wind rain from everywhere

well since its been edited dave looks like i was having a go at ren and i was not i was simply stating dan has been in the game before and does know his stuff that maybe wording could of been different that was all kaz can at my request you please just delete my post free speech is obviously only selective on this forum be lucky if this post isnt edited and oh its okay i wont be on here again over the selective speach thing i said nothing nasty or inapropriate orhave i in this post at all

few nice birds their i love your Grey hen and the cobalt he may be violet even cam can lie with blue at times you do have some lovely birds and i know you do have a structured plan their as far as quarantine you also been in this game before so im sure you took the appropriate measures

seems my first albino chick has a stuffed hip may just be me ill get pics and see your opinions hope not but not splayed just seems to be disjointed or something thinking of taking on care myself see if i can stop from getting worse may be hen sitting to hard ill get some pics then tell me your thoughts

cleaning reasons hun im about to go scrub out my flight now and as i need to wet floor i cant wash it away i have to soke it up with towels and stuff i also find that they birds dont get sun and i know lots dont but since i did my pop out my birds so much better if i could do it all again id save extra and just get a ready made flights and add protection to that and use one end (flights as a breeding room i have a totally mouse proof shed weather proof bar one section near my window (being me i couldn't seal it and its still not finished ) its fully ventilated along roof and both sides have opening doors of 90 cm front this way birds can be closed in at night pop out closes also for keeping out night cold double roof yet still need another one as shed gets very hot very quickly it has sky light that in winter lets in light built needs covering in summer totally waste of time as no point if cant let it do its job as need to cover to keep heat out floor has terracotta paves to keep floor cool but my bad terracotta also sucks up moister so floors always damp big no no im still trying to work out how to fix that with out needing to take em all up basically my whole flight is a f@$#%^#@up and if i could sell it i would but to do that it would need total removal bit by bit and would take forever to pull down and to put back up the only thing about it is it looks good i have a new pre made flight im trying to find someone to put up for me ive had it almost 8 month snow still sitting their i tried to do it myself but i have failed its not safe to put birds in as lose screws and all im just saying unless you have help consent till start to end bye ready made also really really best to go look at others set ups as i thought mine would be good but in practice it sucks

well im always happy to wear a hat if it fits so but i do agree with kaz it looks very much like and iris ring although he does look more like a rec than a df dom except that he has alot of striping down back of head to me confirms the df dom deal pics of him from back would be cool as well as i could see if he is in fact also Opaline

my sheds the same size yours its the same exactly 15 cages wont fit unless you have them at floor leavel to i have 12 and thats using back wall too i took this today just a bit of my shed i can get more but i got one flight anymore id not be able to move at all as is i knock **** all time lose lots babys as i have no space and with boxes on outside knock em off im changing back to nests in cages will be bit better still tight you will need loads ventilation windows front and back and roof vents good drainage in floor i added a pop out i fit in flight comply 40 birds and 60 at most with out bickering or stress setting in ill try get snaps and wright my do not dos tomorrow for you personally wish id just saved extra waited longer brought a actual aviary with 2 or three flights as easier to cover than cut holes in for air ventalation gb will need faulse roof to stop condensation i lined my walls but no insulation just screwed straight on to wall from out side then cut the screw endings off and sanded flat

well i took this short vid of my fav hen i not sure she will be best mum ever but shes trying so its her first time and its a foster as her eggs were infertile i belive due to my bad decichion on timming if you look shes gone right out of condition im just lucky she so loving bird as shes devoted to her little foster although i top up its crop two times a day as she really isnt capable to raise this far out of condition not to the needed amount to raise a healthy chick im keeping chick with her though as i dont want to upset her and wreak her for future nests i love this hen shes my baby whom sits on my shoulder in flight she came reserve best hen as did the cock in the nest with her reserve best cock both beginner class hope this link works for you pics chicks soon new ino chick hatched today could be lacewing or albino its a lost child but alive so.... mum feeding all nests got cleaned today this is the 3 op lt grn hens chicks as i was cleaning nest one took off this ones like go away leave me alone this ones content in my hand this ones fair size this clutch is bit everything one the cin boy chicks the third egg hatched so was fertile im very pleased now hope get at least one cock or no split lacewings i love this picture one my new ino chicks the littlest im watching as look bit yellow brown sighn they could not be getting warm enough at night i read in the rob marshal book thats it for now i have 19 to date one died today my splayed leg chick it aspirated

yep kaz is corect im going df dom pied light green cock im even going to go as far as calling opaline

hay mate thanks for reply no im not trying to hand rear just chicks that hatch and the mum doesnt fed due to new hen and or tosses chicks aside as doesnt really know what shes doing yet ive lost a few chicks after feeding and warming them but then having no were to put them intill morning where i can foster or place with mum intill she starts to feed i usually use yogit to give new born if i got it if not i use milk or cream i find cream better than milk but yogit best just wondered if this worked and thought id ask temp to keep young chick going through night if no mum to warm it thanks for your imput i would of thought 36 was to hot and chick would dehydrate so thanks for that

did anyone ever try this bar libby and if so what were the results also what is the right tempriture to keep a new hatched chick alive away from its mum if needed just over night till you can place it back and watch her with it durring day as i have lost a few from neglectful mums and running out of nests to put bubys till they are few days old and always seem to dehydrate due to to much warmth or chill due to not enough im not good at temp to keep chick going till next day

i too had chick fed this morning but then two more chicks hatched same nest same day(today ) first two fed okay but last chick got air only i looked later before night chick was weak i moved to another nest where it was fed full the other two were fine but mum could not fed three new borns at one time all hatched with in few mints of each other i would of lost chick but now i just lost whom it belongs to as other nest had day old two

im sad reading this thread poor houman having tammy let out and for her to fly away i know its been ages but ring was 3665 in case anyone found her she was in melbourne in the Eastern suburbs :( :( :( :( :(

their is no different in their ability to talk male or females the end result is the time spent with the bird however hens can get cranky and like their own space at times but persistence and love will win over tammy was a hen houmans chick http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?showtopic=28516&st=0&p=339926&hl=+baby%20+for%20+houman&fromsearch=1entry339926 as was a few others ive tamed for people on this sight no differences bar a bit more out spoken

you could kill them like brake rib or wing blind them so on harming them is not really the best thing given most are protected if thats your answer to solving issues maybe you need to re think keeping birds prevention is better than intervention dillster building a safe flying and roosting space is best way tieing balloons around works to scare them away

well i bred some chicks earlier that may go in for the young bird shields depends on club selections anyway i am just breeding for me still splat i take my birds to club selections but if nothing goes im not bothered still building my stud up winning anything is just a bounis for the now im still teething oh two new bubbys hatched today one from one the lw hens and one from my spangle actually three hatched one i think was dom pieds not sure had to do some nest swapping so but they are all alive thats the main thing not sure i really showed my pairs so i found some the pics i took some the birds im breeding right now not all are their im but un organized but hey thats just me when it comes to it im a bit messy lol Opaline lt grn Grey cock albino 06 x grey hen op lt green no 2 x sky spangle mp1 grey green poss split lw cobalt x c8in lyt green op grey/ino 08 boy cin x dom

omg QUICHE i cant wait you got picture come dave pics please

like kaz says here if you want birds its you that must fund it vet savings should be at least 60 dollars per bird you own and 55 for medication that they may need each bird so thats a cost of 115 per bird saved in a bank account that can earn interest if not used that way your gaining if your birds stay healthy if you plan to breed budgies decide how many you can breed as in number of possable chick out come and homes to go to each cage will cost you as if you plan to breed then no point starting off breeding in aviary as you will just bring issues to yourself you will need all the necessary items per cage per pair and spare if you want to do this i think save your penny's as your doing that study up as much as you can on everything from how long before each eggs layed to hatching what to do if mum doesnt feed egg binding and prevention of illness sighns of illness feeding programe this is even for pet most of all you pay you do you show you know what ever is needed to know get them to right you a servy of questions that you must awnser if they are not sure you are capable to show you know what to do in all situations good luck with it most of all be prepared to spend alot of time cleaning feeding and maintaining your birds dayly at least one hour a day at least thats just watching and knowing your birds ways so you can tell if any behavior changes could mean the difrents between a dead bird and a live one you could save

to get chicks too look like him you need to get another bird of his variety which im not sure but looks like a grey wing or the chicks will only be split as you have with these chicks of his now can i ask what happened to all his chicks started with 5 ended up with two

yep got mine i went and changed all the rings over on my chicks well i didnt a friend did as my hand i thought i may as well so at least i know how many chicks ive bred so far starting from 001 onwards hoping next lot chicks start hatching in next week or may miss out on having anything for ubc shields how about you splat only changed the four young i rang few days ago was tad hard getting rings on and old ones off but bit butter worked

thanks sums me up i think have had more arrivals two im sure and one arrival but death due to inexperienced mummy most my chicks looking good and have rung 7 chicks to date the 4 from the opaline lite green one left to ring one albino chick and the two chicks from the grey cin boy that passed another two chicks in the old albino boys nest so thats 3 out of his 4 fertile hatched im so happy jan two albys one blackeye chick as in not the variety just chick with black eyes

now that one i would buy lol pissa and so true
