FEB 14th happy valentines day
Well not a lot as been happening really at the the moment apart
from lots of bird room cleaning, i have had some chicks come
out of the nest box and I've put a few in the kindergarten.
Today Bill came round he's from the forum i'm a member of He
bought 3 birds from me 1 pair and a young bird which took his
fancy.
I had an e-mail from Alan as well he bought a set of plans
from me and i couldn't believe he had almost built a seed cleaner,
i've posted some pics of it.
it's a fantastic achievement considering Alan was cutting and
sanding wood whilst sitting in a wheelchair, He used slightly
thicker wood that he had to hand but anything is adaptable.
He still has to make the draws but he used a couple of bait
boxes just to test it out and he was very impressed on how easy
it is to use and how efficient it was, He needs more birds now
to use it to its full potential ???
Well also today i have put 2 more breeding pairs in the cages
because demand for young birds is very high and i cannot breed
them quick enough i will post some pics of them shortly . I'm
hoping they will settle and produce fertile eggs because last
year they all had different partners.
I will also have more pairs ready and in breeding condition
in april at this rate i might not have enough birds to take
to stafford show this year i will have to see.
Well because it's valentines day today i had to buy the wife
a chinese tonight with a bottle of asti, Don't know why really
because we've been married since 1992 i thought it was for courting
couples so i think i've been mugged.
I wasn't immune to the snow so i took some pics, This was taken
over a week ago now and it has virtually gone but still cold
the birds seem to love it even the canary's were trying to drink
it and bathe in it. even my dog was rolling in it.
more coming soon!
