Some of my birds

Post by Don » Mon Mar 12, 2012 3:55 pm

I been browsing the FF for a while now, occasionally I've posted & replied some. Today is my day off, feel like taking some pictures of the birds, I like to share some pictures of my birds, I'm still learning and fairly new into birds.

Another aviary, 12ft x 4ft x 5ft, I partitioned with one into 3 flights, my birds like breed in these flights, keep 2 pair in each flight.

My favorite yellow back gouldian, they gave my 2 clutches while in quarantine, I don't want to move them yet. They're current on 6 eggs (3rd clutch)

Love all the babies! Even though gouldians are more favorable to me than zebra's there's just something about zebra chicks that steals my heart, I think they are just the most adorable little chicks :)

I placed 4 yellow gouldian eggs and 4 star finch eggs under another pair of society, 6 babies hatch 5 days go.

I put some more star finch eggs under the zebra, now I got some 2 white babies, what the heck? maybe the zebra decided to want to breed some of the own.

I saw a lizard outside my aviary, he try to run away from me, but he end up stuck in the hardware cloth, I helped him out, right now I put him in a temp box, not sure what to do with him yet, maybe just show to my 6 years old then release him.
