Re: My Album, hopefully. Leave comments people!

Thanks! I did post a picture of the aviary in winter when it
was all snowy (a rare thing here) so you might have seen it on
there. Yes, the birds are out year round although as you will
have seen they have a large indoor shelter and various
nestboxes where they can get out of draughts. Also I have only
chosen species which are very hardy, plus the fact that it
never gets too cold here means that they never get cold. Sadly
I lost both the little quail chicks I had yesterday. They were
only 48 hours old but I don't think they were eating the
copious amounts of chick crumb I put out for them. The little
brown one was just skin and bone. That's the problem when you
try to let quail mothers rear their own. Although she has
successfully reared 5 chicks to maturity before. Still it's
very sad :(
