My Aviary....start To Finish

Featured Replies

You gotta post a picture of the corner cabinets once they are done... I'm really interested to see how they'll look/work.

At this rate you may be waiting awhile :(

Just think of the money your making to spend on bills and budgies :(

This is very very true :( and a couple of auctions coming up too :D

Just found a white DF spangle hen in the aviary acting very strangely. I worked out she is BLIND. Tested her fully and she has gone blind. She has produced some nationals winners.

 

Anyone want a cage pet budgie ? Euthenasia may be an option.

Meanwhile she will be put in a cage on her own.

Oh no Karen... ;) Poor girl... I'll have her Karen if she needs a good home... :)

She will need a cage of her own if you can manage it :D

I can manage that... ;) I'll convert a older breeding cabinet to a holding cage just for her... So she will still be near the others and feel safe... :)

;) Euthenasia... nooooooo! I hope you find a home for her, or take up Little budgies offer. Many a blind animals has lived a long and happy life!

 

A question about that lovely log in your avairy. Will you do anything to stop the knot in the log becoming a nestbox? Or is it too small?

The knot in the log is barely half inch deep :)

Luttle Budgie said she will take the blind girl. I will put photos up of her shortly.

Excellent on both accounts :D I'll get Lucia to send you hen a braille mail on how to make the most of a life without sight! :)

Just a point to make.........I DO keep a few cripples, and birds with issues. I have a one legged budgie and a couple of oneds with wonky legs, one with a broken wing etc. I would rather Calley ( the blind DF ) was spoilt in someone else's home than making do here. Keeping her in the aviary, means she flies into walls and panics and she also makes the others fly madly about in the process. I could keep her in the breeding room myself, but if Little budgie wants her too she can go live there. Calley doesnt mind a cuddle it seems ;)

Calley is just beautiful... ;) She will have a great home with me and be very spoilt indeed... :D
Well thats just great....she is the mother and grandmother of nationals entrants so she deserves a bit of spoiling. I also have a funny feeling that she may be tamable, even after all this time. Once you are holding her she loves a head scratch and a bit of fuss :)

I have a blind pet rat, and she's the most sweet natured of all my rats. You'll notice her other senses to be very fine tuned, and they do become very dependant on you. That being said, they get around like they don't have any disability at all. ;) I look forward to following her journey.

She is a little stressed by her " new health condition " but she is now in a cage of her own and has to learn to find her way around to her food and water. The cage is just one I was given....not too small and not too large considering her impairment. She is doing a lot of cocking her head and listening.

Calley has found the top perch and looks happy enough in the cage. I also gave her a larger food dish to make it easier for her to find both up top of the cage and down the bottom.

Thankyou.....I am starting to see good things in the aviary :P

Thats good. For right now she is trying to figure out what has happened to herself I guess.

How did she go blind? Poor thing, but she'll have a lovely home.

Kaz can you do a pictorial of your aviary?

 

I'd love to see it in it's completness :)

Can do, Daz, once I get my workload for this week finished. Work is crazy right now and it keeps coming :)

Also I am amidst redoing the birdroom layout and kitchen area.

Calley is okay. She finds her water, her food and her perches. Mostly she sits and cocks her head from side to side listening to things :(

Normally I mix the extra japanese millet into the seed drum, but today I gave them a dishful in each flight. They acted like it was catnip to a cat :D
