I sorta cheated though.. I just joined two flight cages together and the the bits i tok off the sides i used to make it taller and

then used wire wire its not purple and white.. :P and put the roofs back on top.

 

Going to move my non quarantined birds into it now :P

I am hopeless at building things. I don't even bother trying to build things anymore because I am so poor at it. so anyone that builds their own get's applauded by me. You've done a great job with it. :P

I am not sure the classification is right though, I think it is a flight cage, not an aviary.

 

Yeah Dave your right. It's a flight cage more then an aviary. But it's more of a aviary then what i had before.. :hi:

 

I found the most perfect shed today. It's big, but not so big that it can't be moved and it would be so perfect the make an actuall aviary out of... It's at the house my sister and her husband just bought. I'm going to try to convince them to give it to me.. :(

Good large cage. Me too about the aviary/cage classification...sorry :hi: I see aviaries as something you can walk into and or through.

My only concern about your new cage is, since it has been remodelled so to speak, it seem to have lost some inner strength and reinforcing and may be in need of additional support now.

Yeah that what I think of as an aviary to. My aviary is still a work in progress. There is a little shed at the back of our yard that would be great, but it's full of fire wood and old lawn mowers and stuff.. and i really doubt my mother in law would let me have it anyway.. :(

 

My parnter is going to reinforce it when he gets home. Not sure how he is planning to do it though..

 

Also, about my new boy,

What a honey :hi: he is a cinnamon grey normal and very very nice :)

 

Is it because of the cinnamon that he's not the same grey as Sam? Sam is a darker grey.. Or can grey's be darker or lighter.. just because they are.. There was another grey boy in with him, he was the same colour but i can't remember if he had cinnamon or not.. The pet shop girl grabbed the one i got cos she thouhgt the other one had an ugly head.. :(

Edited by sunshine*

Greys do vary some but YES he is paler due to the cinnamon :hi:

 

Is he rung ?

okay, I was thinking that was probably it. I haven't really seen many Grey birds...

Rung? Like have a leg ring?

Rung YES....legring. Does he have one and if so what colour and code. He is show type.

Yeah, I had a dumb moment.. I knew what you meant.

 

Yeah he does. It's black. So he's an '08 bird right? I dunno what code is on it.

He is an 08 bird.....check his legring code when you can and members may be able to help tell you his breeder. Being an 08 bird means he may well be a little too young for breeding depending on which part of 08 he was hatched.

nice birds sunshine the grey boy and the spangle are beautiful

would make a nice pairing :hi:

as would the colbolt pie hen and himself

they all would pair lovley with him really what a hard decishion you will have come time to breed them if thats what you plan

GB, Breeding isn't part of my plans for a long while yet.. But I'm sure he's gonna make me some pretty little baby's when I start :hi:

A few years most likely. I'm doin my VCE this year through tafe and that is gonna be stressful enough. and my partner wants kids so.. more stress.. and my aunty used to freak out whenever she found eggs. So i'm likely the panic whenever i see anything that might be a problem lol

I'll wait till i know as much as i can learn on the subject first.
