    hi emmy they are both bc but not sure if they are bb i have got to get my head around all this bc/bb ect they are both cocks perhaps someone could help me out with who bred the bird on the left,i brought it from riverbank aviaries near ely,cambs but the man who bred it lives near duxford he breeds mainly black cheeks and phaeo's he also breeds bengalese and he rights for the c&a now and again,the lady told me his name but i forgot steve

    Ob?

    i was thinking that trev but did not want to seem daft by asking that steve
  6. he is nice i have never seen one like that before trevor steve
  7. is that your garage or shed roof its sitting on,if so leave the door open with some seed just inside tie a bit of string to the handle sit and wait once it goes inside pull it shut quickly thats what i did when i let one of my zebs out,if you can't do that use a bird cage with out the base on put a bowl of seed in the middle and then prop it up at one end useing a stick with string attached and again sit a little bit away from the cage,when it goes to eat the food give the string a gentle tug,some one in the cage and aviary caught a family of st helena's that way. steve
  8. it might be worth trying a different hen steve
  9. dan perhaps the ck birds don't like women steve

  18. hi you can keep owl finches in a cage,but a aviary with low heat would be good i enjoy watching my birds flying around,i had some in my aviary with no heat and lost 2,also they will hibernate with the zebs as they are closely related steve
