I usually go out and sit with the birds and dogs in the morning while I have a cuppa (geez I sound old!!) if its warm enough and have noticed the purple/grey male closing in on the happy couple (dk grey & blue pied) he follows them everwhere and if ever the female is by herself he puts on such a display until he gets noticed and chased away by her partner! I do think he may end up splitting the happy couple up eventually with his good looks and charm, its like watching daytime tv!! The couple have been house hunting for nearly a month (nest boxes but now looks like she has put that on hold til she makes up her mind on the fellas.

Also have finally got the ferrets out of the aviary I was using as their cage (don't ask!!) and turned it into paradise for these fellas:

Can you separate the male that is causing a problem with the paired couple ? The aviary looks nice. Is the seed tray directly under the perch ? or does it just look that way from this angle ?

Oooh I love your avairy - it looks great!!

 

Like sands through the hourglass - these are the days of our budgies!!! :(Laughing out loud):

Very nice aviary and gorgeous budgies!!

Gorgeous budgie the opaline dark mauve? it looks like

I agree with Karen (bubble) can you close breed instead of colony breed? Your choice of course.

 

Gorgeous aviary and birds and I won't ask about the ferrets just glad you got them OUT.

hi all, thanks for replying- the seed tray is towards the middle of the aviary so no chance of spoilt seed or water. I could put the mauvey spangle male in the other aviary with the yellow budgies but he isn't harassing them too much (just extremely friendly!), just enough to get some entertainment!! There is only 4 in each aviary and they are 6ft X 8ft and the other is 6ft X 9ft so plenty of room to get away for some quiet time.

Yep ferrets have another big cage now to play in so I can have my aviary back!

Very nice birds there and glad you have a nice view when you go out for a cuppa, I just did and the crows and squirrels are fighting and being noisy, hope it all gets sorted out!

Beautiful aviary !!! I really like the pied in the first picture
