*the Black cheek w/young in a 5 ft long x 18" x 18" cage ...panning over to the shaftail in a 5 ft x 3 ft flight. Apologizing for any motion sickness the videos might have caused, using a tri pod next time!

hi...thank you. Yes the plants are silks. I remove them and clean them or do spot cleaning with a little white vinegar diluted in water. I actually have 3 of the larger flights, the some of the zebra are in one under the owl flight.

this is a short clip, pardon the little snort at the begining, my little dog was lying on the chair near the cage sleeping/snoring!
Not much action...they see the camera and freeze!

After seeing all your owls together im going to have to try and find my owl a new friend now, he is with two society males but i think he would like another owl companion, there goes my pay cheque this week.

Terrific set up with LOTS of nesting places in there. I have my hoppers on the outside of all my cages - easier for refilling but I imagine having them inside keeps the floor cleaner.

Great set up, happy and healthy birds and very good husbandry; the cages looked spotless.

And the title of your post made me chuckle.

=D>

Thank you everyone! Liz the hoppers on the inside are ok but the birds sit on them, roost on then and the tops need to be cleaned off about twice a week. If I had them on the outside, I'd probably run into them and knock them off...I never tried it for that reason!!!!

Great Videos Cindy! I love the first one with the Owls (my favorite :mrgreen: ) .....don't you just love those cute silly little buggers? :lol:

My Owls went nuts hearing all the other birds...hehe.

Your set up is so visually beautiful with the plants and flowers arranged in the cages like that. I would love to see your setup from a farther distance...do you have any current videos showing them from afar?

Thank you John and Deborah, I am moving cages and birds around today and tomorrow...lots of little zebras (different mutations) fledged! Once I get everyone settled I film it from a distance.

Beautiful cage set ups! If I was a bird, I would be very happy to be in there. I'm in the process of building a bigger cage and your vids gave me some great ideas. Thanks!

Your owls are beautiful, too! :D
