A very good reference book to have on hand too GB

:rofl: indeed it is kaz one the best

i should be able to work out all my issues now

Wow!!! What a wonderful, kind thing to do GB, you are so lucky!!

May I ask what the name of the book is? Unfortunately, I do not have any budgerigar publications on my book shelf as of yet and I am after a good quality one that covers all aspects of budgies in Australia...if there is such one.

budgerigar book by rob Marshall

but im one now thanks to one lovely gesture

That's great GB, what a fantastic gift ,and what a fantastic club!

 

For what it's worth I have been using Rob Marshalls supplements on my birds

 

over the past six months and the results have been fantastic!

 

I also went with a March/April round with my birds after reading his opinions

 

on the breeding cycle.

 

Enjoy!

well i will be reading everything and discussing things before i go supplementing anything

but a whole load of information at my finger ips now

Hi GB, what about getting one of those Whirly Bird thingys on the roof of your avairy apparently it takes heat away in summer and helps with condensation.

Hi GB, what about getting one of those Whirly Bird thingys on the roof of your avairy apparently it takes heat away in summer and helps with condensation.

yes lib i did think of that

when i built it

even vents like dave mc

but my dad was bent on just drilling holes along roof at 2 centermeters apart then putting a cover over top at two inches high on out side to let air out but no rain in

so thats what i have

since im not the type of woman that can accomplish many man jobs i got to options

get a man in my life :wine :rofl: (as if )

or wait till my dad retires (which will be never )to get his asistance

or (three actually)

just keep ploding along with my dodgie brothers ideas of insulation of things and hope a knight in shining armor comes to my aid :hap: :bow: :rofl: :rofl:

Wow, Gb what great club your in, wish our gave that much suport, I think we would have more members. Are club seems to be drizzley out again. Like our selection last night not many birds their or members.

BUt what a great book wish I owned a copy, maybe one day.

our clubs been really sportive of all its members new and long term lately

its really nice atmosphere to be in

all are very friendly and helpful and its got pazam to with jokes flying around everywhere

you have to be pretty causal in the form of not taking things to heart and just enjoying the big kids play

quiet a change from when i first joined i was a bit lost their for a bit im so glad i persisted again it was incoragment from certain club members that kept me their

and im feeling more than welcomed

im almost spoilt

Hi GB

this is a picture of my aviary it was a standard aviary that I extended on the left , the only cover that I use is a blind down the front of a night the flight area has iron on the roof 2/3 of the way across , I do get moisture but as I open it every day no matter what the weather they get a cross flow of air.Just a thought you may be not getting enough ventilation through the aviary.

 

hope this may be of some help.

thank you ross im still stumped at the idea its draft related

thats a cool little set up as as you siad theirs plenty air and sunny area

im thinking of extending the aviry by getting another shed same size and just wireing a built frame that gos between both sheds

 

i really still dont know at this moment

fixing has stopped

and im just wanting to put all birds out in it again but i know i have to wait or lose more birds

 

i think i have a underlining issue though that the vets are just to ignorent to see

im going to find out from the sheilds on sunday if anyone i know their knows how to do a autopsy and or can veiw crop and poo as i can aford vet yet again

but i really feel theirs somemthing these birds are carring or got

i kind of just feekl like keeping just a few good birds and culling anything that seems not right

(and i dont mean move them on as that would just cause others probblems if their was one

but if their isnt one then id be culling healthy birds

so ... i wont do that as i dont know well enough my flocks behaviour anymore as they ben caged so long now

im worryed the small holding cages will afect their health soon

if i could id just go buy a aviry that would hold them for now

one made from a shop

and just do what splat did and cover top

but i cant afordthat right now

 

okay thanks hun

i put some pics in my lacewing chick thread of my aviry update as i couldnt find this thread

but thanks to my mate here it is

like magic

soooooooooo ...

 

an update

i still have the roof left to do one my aviary

hear are the pics again of whats been done so far

 

 

ive added half wall to frount

 

 

 

and linning inside half done

yes mate roof also

thats just last

its a bit debate able as to weather i put birds in after its done as its so cold they been at around 10 to 15 degree so i dont know if i want to risk dropping their temp by up to 5 degeree

what do others think

it gets to 4 degree and lower here at night

we get lower than that like -1. sometimews like a week ago -3 I think.

Once all finished wait for a nice day and put them in early they will climatise over the day.
