My daughter came over tonight and saw my aviary which is in her old room, she was amazed at the size, took some great pictures. As soon as she send me the video and pictures I will post some of the birds. We had to change the feeding area and perches some.

Next week we are having our trees trimmed so we will be putting branches in the aviary instead of doweling.

Oh and before our daughter left the room she leaned real close and told my birds "you know this use to be my room!"

I have Isabels and Florida fancy and Florida silvers (most are slit to OB, BB or both One is BB. I tried the BCCFW but they were overwhelmed and sat there so I removed them. The penguins have a flight that it 36 tall, 36 wide and 36 deep. I did not want to mix them with the others. Some of the ones my daughter took pictures of are showing very little or broken flanks...they have OB BB in them. There are some young crested pictured to.

That is an Isabel/OBBB....I have all kinds of FF and FS (English and normal standard size) I have them split, FuLl BB but not crested. Right now I have a BF male paired with a fawn with visable orange cheek patches that is also split to BB together. Hoping for some nice results. I will try to get more pictures soon!


I do have a crested CFW female with a BCCFW male and they just had an offspring fledge with a partial crest...odd but it looks like huge fake eyelashes over the eyes.....kind of like Miss Spider or Miss Piggy!!!

I have several Isabel split to OB or OBBB in the flight...the FS and FF love it!! I will try to get pictures this weekend.

I took pictures of the young from a BC/BB and a light gray BF male...I will post them in a bit...one female almost looks Isabel...I think I have BF females and at least one BF male, the black is starting to show on his lower chest and belly.
