Just interested to find another person who likes birds that is local to do regular trades for better mutations

If my silver bills ever get a successful clutch I'd be happy to trade or sell. So far no luck though. :/

Hyansith ok good where bouts in north west are you I’m from Manchester

Stockport. Not had much luck yet though. They just finished sitting for a second time and I had two DIS. Going to let them settle for a bit and then try again.

Hyansith I’m from ashton under lyne so really close, do you hve them in an aviary or cage

I have one pair that is amazing at sitting and they always make the eggs fertile and then my other pair don’t like sitting as much but will raise them so I let the bad pair sit on them and then give them the others

You could try getting a bengalease pair to raise them like I have just done ?

I only have a cage but it's a decent size and could probably hold a few more birds. I want to give them the chance try again a couple more times though. I don't think they have bred before so they don't know what they are doing.

Hyansith what sort of nest and everything are you using, I have tried with mine and it’s working so far to keep the nest high and they really like the thin but deep plywood nests and straw for nesting material since then they have been really good. Before that they was using the small grass nest and they was throwing the chicks I think it’s because they think it’s to small
