Re: mixed small aviary?
you're right kenny! It is amazing indeed!
sometimes they fly so fast that I think they won't be veering in time and will end up smashed against the aviary panel, but no way! they land on whichever perch they choose with amazing accuracy.

Nice picture!!
I like that hanging bath tub. What a great idea! I bet the water stays cleaner than it would on the floor.

Re: mixed small aviary?
So cute!! So, how do you like your Blue Caps now, Colorin? Were they a good choice in your opinion?

Re: mixed small aviary?
hi
was just wondering seeing your bird bath,do you have a stone or something flat in the middle so that if any youngsters get in there and get to wet they can climb onto the stone while they dry out

Re: mixed small aviary?
there will be no youngsters, as this aviary is just for grown-up males. I keep the gouldian juveniles with their mothers in the breeding-aviary until after they moult. then they will come to live in this aviary.

Re: mixed small aviary?
it's OK. In the breeding aviary, when chicks are just about to fledge I always remove the bath, just in case, so I know what yo mean and why you said that
