Well I finally got around to getting some pic's of my bird avairy, most people who see it say it's huge but sometimes I look at it and think, gee really could have gone another 2m in depth and another 1m in height. Orginailly my husband had suggested we put a huge tall pole in the middle of the yard and just net the entire lot making one huge walk in aviary (our entire yard size is 897square metres, so not a tiny yard), I kid you not! And he wonders why I keep getting more pets, with suggestions like that. Hope you enjoy
The dogs in the front are Leah (the mostly white one) and Thor the Staffy.
I'll be even happier with the aviary when the orchids on the old clothesline beside it are all in the bush house currently being constructed down the side of our house.
The cockatiels that do a fair impression of being rabbits and even nest on the ground, as I wont give them nest boxes as I don't need or want any more and they are getting hard to sell locally. On the far left are my Rosa Bourkes, Burke the male at the top and Rose the female on the lower branch.
Two female Ruddies (mother and daughter don't ask me which is which), 1 male cordon bleu, 1 male red faced gouldian and a black faced hen with hre back to me.
Male and female Ruddies love seeing the boy in the sun, so red and vibrant!
Not very good I know but on the right is a male black faced gouldian, in the middle a male strawberry finch, female black faced gouldian and on the wire the female jaracini, I couldn't get the male to stay still in the sun, he is STUNNING . And just in the bottom right hand corner a part of a female red cheeked cordon bleu
Male Cuban, who was chattering at me the entire time I was in the aviary.
Male and female cuban finches
A male strawberry finch, such a pretty little boy.
