Everything looks fantastic Feathers! I'm so jealous. What a wonderful new abode for your budgies. Congrats!

Everybody looks right at home and happy, good job Feathers!

Yay. They all look so cute and settled in. I bet they are just loving the extra space right now. I am so jealous. :

Thyanks everyone. They are so happy out there. I was so worried about them coping with being 'outside'. They are very protected though, being under the patio and having shadecloth from the roof to the ground. The peppermint has been entirely demolished and we had a brave visiting pigeon looking for seed on the ground outside the cage being chased away by my dogs.

 

You need a nice couch outside so that you can lie comfortably and watch them. Love the green budgies. Really nice looking lot. Are they on pellets?

 

Good idea, I need to get my hammock and hammock stand back off my brother, at the moment I have a couple of patio chairs in front of it. As for the pellets, small packets of them here are really expensive, so, no - no pellets. I make sure they get plenty of vegies and high quality seed instead.

 

I love the idea of the containers over the water and seed

containers.When I had finches they nested in the seed container,

 

Karen (Bubbles) had told me about the problem of birds going in the top. I was looking around for a bowl when I thought of these containers. I buy them in bulk in winter to store soups in the freezer.

 

I'll bet you have noticed how much more lively they are in there too ...I will bring you some branches on Sunday before we go to our budgie club meeting.

 

Karen, they are in budgie heaven. Thanks for the branches. They will love them as they have always had them in their cages.

Thank you all. They are definitely happy and I am so pleased that I got to the point where I really needed an aviary.

ps. Thanks to those who hoped I would be feeling better. I am okay at the moment and should be back to normal by the weekend, I hope.

That is their absolute favourite toy. There is always a budgie or three on it.

Hi Cheeta, I'm sure you were automatically invited. I heard you haven't been feeling well, hope you are better now.

 

As for the budgie count, Jacquie and I figured that we now had more. The last budgie that I got off Paul, a large mauve-grey, is called Beachu (Beat you)

It is really worth it. It's good for me too as it gets me up and out of my room. I have been spending a good deal of time out on the patio watching them flit to and fro. All of the peppermint I put in for them was all gone by Thursday afternoon, so yesterday they snacked on corn on the cob and bok choy. It's not such a bad life - if you're a bird.

The thrill of sitting out by the aviary doesn't wear off either, Feathers. I spend my first morning cup of coffee time by the birds. It's just great watching them have fun.
