budharley 945 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 I've not had any birds for a few years now then yesterday Had a little chat with the missus yesterday about changing the garden round she is wanting a new patio area built as she hates the decking area at the bottom of the garden .i said yes that's no problem but what a waste that decking is now ,she said why why don't you build that birdhouse you have been going on about for a couple of years . Happy is an understatement I've been wanting to breed goldfinches for a few years now hopefully I can now achieve that. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

budharley 945 Posted October 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Want to buy any canaries mate? Bloody hell pal I've not even got the shed up yet;) but when it's up if you still have them I'll give you a shout what little birds you got .I'm hoping to breed one or two mules the rest will be native goldies possibly some sibo mutations . I need to get a shed up asap Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TUFFTY 1,484 Posted October 28, 2014 Report Share Posted October 28, 2014 So what are your plans? what you gonna build? bird room and outside flights? what size? When do you intend building? Have you done it yet? Dont forget the pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Happy is an understatement I've been wanting to breed goldfinches for a few years now hopefully I can now achieve that. its nice when you know who the boss is Ye that's me I already have most of the garden with my dogs and ferrets . Plans are first off find a descent shed builder who will build a shed to the shape I need not just a box Then it's going fully insulated .im going to kit it out with domus monilari cages and some wooden flight cages also a small section of wooden double breeders for my mules . Electric and running water are going to be installed also an extractor fan and de humidifier .the dogs have a pen that's 7m x 4m this is down sizing a bit so I can put a flight cage or possibly a couple of outside flights Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TUFFTY 1,484 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Bud, any particular reason for the domus monilari cages? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
budharley 945 Posted October 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 No reason mate I just like them ad looking on a few threads on bbia Goldies seem to settle better in them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TUFFTY 1,484 Posted October 29, 2014 Report Share Posted October 29, 2014 Ok. Instead of getting someone in to build your bird room, why dont you build it yourself? That way you cut out the middle man. You get what you want and theres more funds for birds? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
