We are also getting another pair of scaly Breasted Lorikeets this weekend Mustard Cock to a Normal split Cinnamon Hen this pair will produce all four colours (Normal , Olive , cinnamon , Mustard )


Each aviary consists of :
2 Perches 1 at either end of the aviary so the birds get plenty of exercise
1 Breeding box
1 Calcium Perch
1 Small Bowl of Grit
1 seed Dish
1 Water Dish (Large One For the lorikeets to Bath in The rest have a medium size one as they don’t bath in them as much)
Fruit and vedge is placed on the bottom of the Suspended’s and put in hanging trays for the Conventional aviary’s

My set up also consists of a watering system that runs along the top of every aviary so the birds can bathe in the spray every now and them when I turn it on (normally I only turn it on for 5 min)
there is also a small black tube coming down from the top to the lorikeets water bowl so I can fill them at the same time

If there is any Questions or you are after more info on something I do please do not hesitate to ask

Thankyou for looking Eagle

The rosellas are gorgeous. What a wonderful setup. Good luck with all the breeding pairs.

[bubbles]

Wowza, your set up has certainly improved from your Hornsby Heights Days...I feel so jealous I could eat all those birds... *plans theft*

[Mark]

Thanks Bubbles The Huge back yard makes all the difference (as you would remember how little the one in Hornsby Heights was especially with the pool in the middle if it )
And all the great Members of the Beaudesert Parrot & Finch ASSOC. INC which I'm a member of seeing allot of other members set ups really helped me in designing and planing the out lay of mine
I plan to get rid of 70% of the aviary's i have after the breeding season and build 20+ new suspended aviary's out of welded box steel and color bond with a walk way so everything looks even better matching. Which depends on how much i make off the baby's !

Eagle,

Love the way you have the cages set up. The ones with the Rosella's in it. They're what where looking to build over the coming weeks. At the moment we've got the majority of our birds in our bird room indoors - Blue & Golds, White Front Amazons, Sun Conures & Caiques. They're going outside once the flights are completed.

We've got a 24ft long flight that we are tearing down soon. It's 10ft wide with 3ft wide walkway, and 7ft deep flights. Our Hahns Macaws, African Ringnecks, Green Cheeks, Tiels. Lovebirds & Grass Keets are in those

Hope this is a good season for you.

[Peter]

You have such a great set up!!!! Surely with the way the birds are cared for they will breed welll for you!

I really like the idea of the chook pen under the suspended, no food will go wasted!

[Matt]

Eagle that looks great! If I ever travel over that way I will stop over for a sticky beak!

[Natenla]

Great set up! I would love to have something like taht!!

[Mark]

Thank you everyone for your replies "Head is getting bigger"

usajustin : The suspendeds the Rosella's are in i don't like them as there only 4ft deep i like 7ft so the birds get plenty of exercise this is the reason I'm selling them at the end of the season and building new ones i hope

Peter : The main reason the chooks are under the suspendeds i was too last to build them a proper one but as soon as i get the chance I'm going to build them a nice timber house !!

Matt : Your more than welcome to come and visit even stay the night if you wish as we have a spear room !!

Natenla : as i said in another post some where else in the forum all you have to do is save every cent you make off the birds and you ill have the set up you wont in no time it might take a couple of years but when you get to where you wont to be it is well worth it !!
As i have much bigger plans for the future than where I'm at the moment i plan on getting my first pair of HANS MACAWS at the end of th season i plan on Breeding just about every Conure available in Australia and some of the Macaws. It will take time but i will get there one day !

[Mark]
