Well ive been missing the last while from this forum. Busy with work and training. Last week I took my credit card down to the local D.I.Y store and Bought timber and wire mesh.

Then yesterday I began building the Aviary, I finished it this evening. It looks great. My fingers and hands are covered in cuts and scrapes from the wire mesh

I have 6 Societys 1 Owl 2 Cherries 2 Zebras and 1 Canary/Goldfinch cross(for singing)

Now its fitted with around 10 boxes and evenly spaced apart. While in the petstore today getting birdseed I came across the Red Headed Finch. They looked wonderful, Related from the cut throat I was told. Do they have the aggressive nature of the Cut Throat, would they be bossy??
Also so A Pekin Robin for sale 210 euro

Was a lovely bird tho.

Glad to be back and posting

Nice to see you back on here.

I think that's pretty reasonable (these days) for a Pekin Robin @ 210E.

Yeah see ive never seen one before so i guess the price reflects the birds availability. When in the petshop the guy who is the bird expert stepped into the aviary and stood in the middle and preceded to catch the birds that I chose, I brought a friend along with me and he thought it was hilarious the way he caught the birds with his hand.

''He reminds me of Mr meeagi from the karate kid, fasst hands like'' I couldnt stop laughing.

Spent about 2 hours in my back looking at the Aviary and the way I have the boxes set up, none have shown any interest in them yet, and since Im picking up Birds again on friday I think I will re do the whole inside......
Getting a pair of Red Headed Finches and a pair of Star Finches.
Cant wait for friday
