December 14, 200915 yr Hint.... Hint... 007... wack some perches in it so the birds can go in there... pleeeease Well I had a spare couple of minutes today, to wack up Liv's perches. I used the Kaz ™ collapsible hinged version so that it makes it easy to clean underneath them by unlatching the sides so that it goes flat against the back wall. I think there is enough for the tribe of WA birds to come and stay (including the little urchin that we could mind for Dave McMinn) Interesting, had a chat with a breeder today who was very interested in the birds - his opinion was that there's a LOT of good bloodlines over there... I think he's right by the pictures of the birds I've seen. He was more than a little impressed when I mentioned whose birds we have. I'd post pictures of my collapsible, latched bird perch device, but they are only phone photos and not that good, so you can see it complete with birds sitting on it next week sometime. Note to everyone: Remember to look at the perches too next week, not just the birds. And Yes, I did paint it - a lovely cream colour ( tin cost me $24 ) but I failed there didn't I. Damn it! Should have left it unpainted, but on one hand it does look nice. Waiting for photos..............next week is too far away Perhaps today then, I'm getting my photographer back, not that I am excited (much ). Last night I got another order from Liv for the other flight to get a new Kaz ™ collapsible hinged version, but this one without paint, so I know what I am doing on Friday afternoon.

Liv and kids delivered to airport safely, minus two items left behind accidentally.................. NO...it wasnt the kids !! :D :rofl: :rofl:

NO...it wasnt the kids !! :rofl: :rofl: No it wasn't the kids - thjey are here and have NOT stopped talking. mmmm - my Kaz bird perch (adjustable, hinged) is TOOOOO big - next one has to be half the size... barfely a Friday afternoon at that rate. Birds are also safe at home and they look adorable (and a bit hot in the 38 degrees)

Birds are also safe at home and they look adorable (and a bit hot in the 38 degrees) At this rate 007 you will be building the next stage of your aviary complex All this practice and all these new birds Have you any favourites amongst the new birds 007 ?
December 15, 200915 yr Have you any favourites amongst the new birds 007 ? I'd have to say The two Gina House birds aka House, Greg... The big Cec Gearing boy, The Gary Armstrong Lacewing who is grandfather to some of ours born this year - but really they are all better in directional feather / size than most of ours. That they are almost all related from such a tight breeding area is a huge advantage in a lot of ways - they are almost a line / family in their own right. I think it will be good to get some Lacewings and Recessive Pieds, although we bred two together a few months back and got all normals, but they were nice. The new ones have settled in but it was hot and then it was too dark - should be better tomorrow. And then we'll have to name a few more, and I've got to put a small veranda on the flight, and a jacuzzi for when they get too tired to fly and need to wind down Edited December 15, 200915 yr by JamesBond007
December 15, 200915 yr and I've got to put a small veranda on the flight, and a jacuzzi for when they get too tired to fly and need to wind down :rofl::rofl:
December 15, 200915 yr Author I went out a took a few quick early morning snaps of the new birds. It will be hot again here today, so this will be the best i will be able to get until later in the week ooops cut their heads off :rofl: They are looking a little stressed, the heat sure isn't helping. I am watching them very closely 007's Kaz™ perches are fantastic. I have asked he add another three perches to it as there is stacks of space Edited December 15, 200915 yr by **Liv**
December 16, 200915 yr Although a little stressed, it sounds like they have travelled well. I will look forward to seeing what you plan on doing, in regard to pairing and breeding.
December 16, 200915 yr They look great Liv but gee it is a stinker today all my birds are nearly all on the floor poor things. Got sprinkler on the roof.
December 16, 200915 yr You took the hot weather with you Liv Its been cooler and mild since you left here :rofl: Have you assembled your swinging perches yet ? Edited December 16, 200915 yr by KAZ

January 5, 201015 yr Author Well over due i know!! my big BAD!! since I have been home we have been flat out with Christmas, family, assignments and yesterday our car was been written off when someone rammed us... so now buying a new car tooo.... such a busy time and i bet 007 is looking forward to going back to work for a holiday :rofl: Here are some promised photos from the beautiful city of Perth :rofl: I loved this mural (or however its spelt ?? ) in the side of a partially demolished building ladybug... yeah, i know, doesnt show much of perth :rofl: At Sorrento Quay at sunset Dragon fly sitting on the antenna of Kaz's Ute And another dragon fly - love these creatures and we barely see them here at home Perth was beautifully decorated for Christmas! I took lots of photos of them, but so few actually turned out. Here is one type. The Bell tower At the Perth Mint The wild flowers and general foliage. Everything is so arid and sandy, and yet so lush the sky on the day i flew home. there were fires around and the sun was merely an eerie glow in the sky Some shots out of the airplane window more coming :rofl: Perth in all its glory! This thing is H-U-G-E and looks like a snow flake at night! so pretty dead tree at sunset banksia flower. we dont have these at home The main wild flower colour seems to be yellow :rofl: Karen and I had loads of fun getting cemetery photos on the way home from a drive in the hills. I have never been in a cemetery at night. it was deathly quiet and no one complained of our late night visit hehe :rofl: Edited January 5, 201015 yr by **Liv**
