Hope so Janine...don't know about gouldians though...might have to cage them to pair them off.Don't want to though I don't like cages although they have their use.
It's great to see birds in a big flight they fly so fast...obviously enjoying it.

I've always made a point of feeding my birds in the enclosed section of my set up...It encourages the birds to roost in the warmer section as winter approaches (Not just yet thankfully)
Image

However,now I have a mixed collection there have been days when I hardly see a single bird.So this morning I fitted a feeding hatch to the outside so I don't have to enter and disturb the birds.Works a treat...I get to see some of my flock now without going indoors.
By the way...the Rosa Bourke feeding there...his missus is on 4 eggs in the nestbox in the top picture.I had built her a large box when I saw the cock feeding her,but she beat me to it and set up house in that little box.

Image

The orange canary on the right was found by a little girl down the road.Her Mum told her to "Take it to the bird man"....so I finished up taking him in.

That looks great. I am glad you posted the Enclosed section for us to see.

"The bird man" that is too funny..... I have always said I sure hope I don't ever get called "the bird lady"..... :shock:

I already have that title, :? the little girl next door found a young parrot not long out of the nest that she wanted some help with, then her Mum called me over to help out a house sparrow that was being attacked by larger birds.
Im happy to have that title as long as they dont put "weird" in there. :lol:

I'm envious that you recovered Pooh. Gives me hope that I will too.
