Ian B 3 Report post Posted May 5, 2015 Hi everyone, I am in the process of building an aviary for some Zebra's I have kept them before but that was probably 35 years ago! Since then I have served Queen and Country, it has taken a long time to find the right place. Yes I have been reading this forum fo some time. I have looked around and am interested to find a breeder in the Lincoln area. Regards Ian B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tony69 21 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Welcome back Ian, Hope you get your self sorted with some finches soon mate let's know how you get on. Cheers Tony Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Emmy 528 Report post Posted May 6, 2015 Welcome to the Forum Ian, I think once you have kept Finches, even if you have to give them up for a while, is more than likely you have to get some more. They're such lovely little birds. Looking forward to finding out what colours you get. Emmy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ian B 3 Report post Posted May 8, 2015 Thank you for the replies, I have spent the last few days on the build, still plenty of work to go before I'm in a position give these birds a home. I bought my mesh from Moncaster's yesterday some 35 years since my last purchase and still got a good deal So much to do yet busy few days to go..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian B 3 Report post Posted May 9, 2015 Thanks Gary, still building my aviary, this could take a while, but I'm doing the best I can. I'm also looking around thought there would be a breeder local to me, there probably is but I just haven't found them yet. There are so many ways to sell these days, it was just news papers all those years ago... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ian B 3 Report post Posted May 21, 2015 The aviary build still goes on it must be finished this weekend as the new occupants arrive on Monday. I must admit, I thought there would be a Forum here, purely on aviaries, the build, different styles, tips, and hints, indoors, outdoors, big small, what not to do…etc. Regards Ian B Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
