Some very nice chicks Sarah, I like the yellow face. Did you get your cages from supapets? I have those cages and a few racks so i know what you mean about the cost lol

Great news Sarah. I've an egg due to hatch on Christmas day if I've done my sums right lol, will be the first chick for the 2016 rings as well lol.

Found out last night I've bred my first Texas Clearbody budgie. I've always liked them and wasn't expecting to breed one tbh. It's a hen, 4 weeks old today. She's actually an Opaline texas clearbody Have anymore of yours hatched Sarah?

Good news Sarah! I've had 2 hatch on the same day so you never know what they get up to lol

That looks a good set up and obviously you get to keep warm as your indoors all the time. I think if I had the ceiling like that the missus would have something to say haha. Mdf also contains glue that is poisonous to the birds if chewed and I'm surely read somewhere cyanide! I didn't bother with vent holes and to date have had no problems at all. The hole in the front and the slight gap at the back where the slide goes in does the job I feel. I will get a photo later of how my nest boxes sit. l like wicked I must say. Is the second last bird a dominate pied?

That grey spangle has quite a few admirers I have to say lol. Is the photo a better size now? I'm using my phone so it's hard to tell. With the nest boxes I just drilled a couple of holes in them and used cable ties to attach them. That works with the table top and long type. The ones that sit to the side need 4 holes drilled. Pretty straight forward though. They come with Mdf concaves, I bin those as I don't want the birds chewing that stuff

I think not lol

My photo disappeared because I tried to resize it, let's see if it worked lol

The cages are from supapets and yes I think it's 145 roughly for 6 but they sell them in pairs too. I have some of their racks for them as well. Great cages but alot of mess gets out. If you check pvc nestboxes on ebay a company called oriel gems sell them, I have a few and are very good.I like ripple, how do they get on with the kakariki?

Yeah the last is a spangle, last 2 actually. The last chick is only about 5 weeks old do going to be a big girl I think lol

Umm, is it just me or are those photos massive lol?

Ok Sarah, here you go. I discovered by accident that my birds couldn't mate because the perches were 2 small, I saw a cock try to tread a hen and they both fell. Since that I haven't looked back. Here are some photos!

Some very nice birds there Sarah. My exhibition birds finally started breeding in August. I won't spam your thread with photos but I'm really pleased with the results. Your aviary looks really good

Happy Birthday!

Haha, yes indeed. I was a member on there for a year or so. Small world, sold my cougar just over a year ago though and bought an s type, bad move! Do you still own yours
