Hi guys. Here are just some general pictures + Soft food time of my aviary birds. All of them are show birds, but quite bad quality haha. Some of them are from a couple days ago ( the worse quality of the large aviary) but most are from 20 mins ago

 

 

General Aviary Shots:

 

(Mrs. Fatso. From forum member Liv. It was a bit chilly today, so she was a little fluffed. Her name is Banana)

They certainly like their soft food

They're lovely S_C. I love your clearbodies and your three bachelors. Do any of your birds eat the wattle?

BHAHAHA Mrs Fatso looks funny as lol i want one lol lol lol lol :)I have noticed also that in the aviary. The birds seem to much rather sitting on a actual tree branch rather that a long straight piece of dowl?

Is your aviary soil floor ?

No. Why? I have a big tree pruning in a big pot with crushed rock in it?? (cutting is dead).

They nibble around it a little, I found the younger budgies like rolling in it :rofl:

All natrual, apart from one perch. It is cheaper, and I find the birds like it more :rofl: The peice of dowel is near the door, so not many picts of it cause it was near were I was standing. Birds also like chewing the branches.

 

 

Is your aviary soil floor ?

 

Yup, It is raked and cleaned out every weekend, and sweeped (until I get to the base). My base is basically rock hard clay/soil, even mice or anythig can't get through. I just realised it must look messy! Sorry, branches are always put in before cleaning, so I can take away the shredded leaves. Droppings and seed are the only things there.

 

More pictures!

I put some fresh gum leaves in this morning:

Spot the budgie!

The Aftermath:

 

Cinnamon Grey-Green cock next to his cinnamon grey father (mum was a rec.pied cin. grey-green/blue) Just going through his second moult. He looks small next to dad, he just isn't as tall.

Mum looked, so he acted guilty... I saw these two mating the other day :glare:

 

Kindie Cage aviary shared with 'tiels. Only has 5 chicks in there, 4 cinnamons siblings + foster cobalt. There is 2 opaline sky blue cinnamon hens, 1 cobalt hen, one light green cinnamon cock, and one cinnamon opaline hen. I think I will be keeping the cock, green hen, and one of the op. cin. blues.

 

3 I am keeping:

Only reason I asked is because my old aviary was soil floor and rats dug in and got to some of the birds.

Yup It's cool I am planning on getting a breeding room/ aviary next year or 2012, an it will have either tiles or concrete.
