Hi all, thought I'd try to share a few pics of my birds in their flight while I cleaned aviary. As photobucket has changed since I last added pics hope they work.

Added first photo back. Forum has auto-resize now, so it's OK

Oooh I like the hanging perch/swings

Absolutely beautiful birds Robyn.

 

How big is your aviary? (hope you don't mind me asking) I have decided to extend mine a little so I'm glad to see what you used for your corner posts

Thank you both, Nadene, son & Hubby welded my frame using tube steel in aviary and old bed irons in flight. The rest was a recycled car port.

 

Swing again Hubby's work,Birdlove, I made the beaded one from an old tapestry frame, with a four chain pot plant holder. They love that one, it's like a "square table" conference on that. Aviary is about 9x8 ft I think.

My birds are looking very nice at the moment but I have full quota, so can't breed until I can reduce my numbers, (pet shop is also full ).

I try to breed a pet type to the few show culls I have and have bred some nice sized birds from that.

Gorgeous birds, you have some beautiful colours in there! The aviary looks fantastic too! Goes to show that a bit of recycling goes a long way! Thanks for posting the pics robyn

Thanks for the pictures robyn. It makes newbies like myself dream about what is possible. You birds are beautiful!

Thanks for the comments all. Good to see others are interested to see what other budgie people are doing.

What a lovely set up for your birds!

 

They all look so happy and healthy. I especially like the two greens in this photo:

 

 

wow!

so many beautiful budgies!

What a lovely aviary they are in

very pretty!

Thanks everyone, I really love the breeding part of buds seeing what colours etc, unfortunately I was over my "quota" for my aviary, so, to be able to breed again I had to sell some of my birds to make room. I keep my favourites and breeding birds. It's hard deciding what to sell but it's either that or just stop breeding.

Yes, I have the same problem. My numbers are creeping up, so I should sell off the ones I don't have plans for. Or I should decrease the scope of my plans. But that's hard to do when I look at them and think about all their potential.

 

I got drastic and sold over 20 of mine last year, including my creamino hen. Then I decided I wanted to try to breed lacewings, and I needed some sort of ino hen, and I could have kicked myself for selling that one. I ended up actually going out and buying another creamino hen!

What a beautiful bouquet of budgies! Great shots and nice set up.
