Looks Great KAZ!

Put split rings on eleven of Omelette's babies earlier and put them in there too. Have another four of Omelettes babies in nestboxes. Omelette and stud are also in that aviary...sitting together and kissing and cuddling.

Do they have both split rings and club rings on them now? I can't remember do you use split rings to show the different lines or to show what they are split too?

 

Have you made Dave build the safety doors yet??

Yeah...they have both coded legrings on and blue split rings. The split rings are just so I can quickly see which ones are Omelette and Studs in the aviary. We havent done the safety doors yet

Yeah mate...very happy to see the birds enjoying that space

See now THIS is why I wish I lived over there. I could build one here, but would only get about 5 months use out of it a year.... Our fall and winters are just too cold here.

 

This is excellent !!!

Chrissy could you build one like Daz's?? It is insulated and stuff? There must be a way to do it, they have out door aviaries in England and other parts of Europe... so there must be a way... not sure how but there must be..

It's called building an addition on my home !!! LOL **Chrissy drifts off into dream land**

A warmer day today...............those that arent on the perches

 

are on the ground

I like admiring other peoples birds... I can't wait till I have that many... of that good a quality...

I finally finished the polystyrene in the ceiling of the new birdroom. It makes a HUGE difference in the temperature in there. Hot day yesterday and not a single bird in the birdroom was feeling the heat. I also found a water filled air cooler thrown out on bulk refuse throwout the other day and put it in the birdroom. It works just great.

It pays to finish a job and not get distracted.......

 

We hadnt finished the safety door area and we just came out and found the aviary door ajar and a decent amount of birds missing....maybe 20.

 

 

Hot as it is right now Ken and I are about to do the safety door like we should have weeks ago.

I have nets nearby in case some of the birds come back at dusk. Being aviary birds and not pet types they will have flown off. We have a lot of predator birds around this area too.........magpies, crows, hawks.

Oh no Kaz :S i hope they come back and you're able to catch them!

Oh My GOD! What an absolutely b****y DISASTER.

 

My WORST nightmare. I am so very sorry Kaz.

 

Please , please tell me that Omelette, Stud and your magnificent DF White GA birds are still with you?

 

I don't Know how you're feeling mate, but I'd be ROPEABLE.

I feel sick in the pit of my stomach. But Omelette and Stud are in the breeding room in holding cages, as is Studs brother and some others. Both Garys white DF spangles are still there...I have lost some youngsters. Until it cools this evening and I catch up all of Omelettes last two batches of babies I wont know exactly what I have lost. Have lost greywings though.

We are currently putting up the safety door ( after the budgies have bolted )

Fingers crossed the total tally of losses is less than you think.

I am so sorry! It is such a devastating loss

I hope some return

I am very sorry to hear about your birds escaping Kaz. I hope some come back and you are able to catch them.

We should have known better....

 

it was just one of those jobs that kept going to the bottom of the list. Have so far done the framework and uprights for the door, we are now cutting down an aviary door to fit so its a larger entry for taking things in an out. This safety area also has to be the one that goes into Kens parrot aviary to the right too...will fit his inner door further along.

 

Anyone who hasnt yet got a safety door .............fit one now !

Edited March 7, 200916 yr by KAZ

So sorry for your losses Kaz. Try not to beat yourself up about it (although I know it's hard). We've all done things we wish we hadn't/didn't etc... I hope you get some of them back! xoxo

Kaz, just read this now, so sorry to read it. Any luck with any returning? I do nto a safety door fitted yet, and I worry all the time. i need to get to mine.

 

What birds are gone?

Some of them its hard to see which are missing but I know I lost my three greywing cocks, I lost a promising cinnamon blue baby hen and others.

Tonight I was catching up all of Omelette's chicks out of the aviary to tally them up in case I had lost some...got dark so I havent caught them all yet...maybe one or two of them gone...not sure yet. Caught 9, had 4 in the breeding room flight cage so thats 13...two yet to find in the aviary...saw one at dusk still in the aviary...looking tomorrow for this one....hope she is still there

 

No birds came back at dusk........lots of bird life in the surrounding trees....couldnt see a budgie though.

We have lots of trees around our place...huge 100 ft gum trees everywhere full of birds. I am sure some of them are in those trees.

even our hibiscus is fill of birds and nests and babies
