July 3, 200717 yr Author I love the fact that there are so many vairations on the blues. However i am going to need to put some split rings on the little blues to tell some apart later. Maybe a right leg, a left leg, and no ring. of course, if i knew their genders that would help and might make some rings unnecessary. Any guesses? Mum did not appear to like the aviary at first. You have to remember, she ahs never seen it before, but she will adjust.
July 3, 200717 yr When I have reason to use split rings, Dave, I use left leg for boys and right leg for girls so I can tell at a distance who is who.
July 3, 200717 yr Author With so many birds I can understand you doing that. My dilemma is this, I have 2 male birds that look identical from the one clutch. I figure if I use the split ring on one, then I know which one is which - eg Tommy has the ring, and Eddie does not (the names used have been changed to protect their identities). Boys to girls no probs with ceres and only 22 birds...so far

July 3, 200717 yr I got a lovely boy fallow today that is exactly the same as Sebby. I will post a picture tomorrow.
July 9, 200717 yr Author Well, the move was successful. All are now outside, still in their breeding cage, but in a seperate aviary. Now we will wait whilst they all get big and strong, so they can eventually go into the big aviary, for the very first time.
July 11, 200717 yr Where is that picture Kaz? Finally Dave Here he is...Names ?? and another Fallow boy I got too....
July 12, 200717 yr Author Well, they all got move into an outside aviary the other day, and today they went from tower 1's basement to tower 2's penthouse. big effort catching them all.
July 31, 200717 yr Author Well, everyone has now movied to the aviary and everything seems good. In trying to catch Romeo, he ended up losing his tail feathers. they are growing back, but they now seem to be growing back iwht an unusual amoutn of white on them. I suppose it could be stress. Maybe.....
