There is still a lot of perches, toys and plants to go in... but... there are now 6 feathered friends in The Pheasantasiam!

I will get some pics and vids of the new inhabitants of The Pheasantasiam up soon. At the moment I am busy planting more palms and things. I was also wanting to stick some orchids in there. Are any part of an orchid (bulb, leaves, flowers, etc.) dangerous to birds?

Well I have finally finished editing the video of The Pheasantasiam build.
It took ten 12 hour days to build.
Click the link below for the vid.
