neil cooney 10,416 Posted June 19, 2018 Report Share Posted June 19, 2018 Well done. It must be in the air, a friend had a clutch of Red Polls out lately. If I ever got back into them I'd love to breed pure finches. Nice one. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll probebly get up to Newark for a nose about rather than to buy as such but at the moment my aviary is empty mate,as you know i lost a good few to a rat attack and i just thought now's the chance to pull it down and get a decent concrete base down and rebuild the whole thing and start afresh as it were.I'm aiming to just to keep a couple of pairs of somethings in a mixed flight and have a quiet back to basics time for a while.Again well done on your birds and they got to be happy to produce like that and keep up the grand work mate and deffo keep the pics coming .. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

david jones 97 Posted July 8, 2018 Report Share Posted July 8, 2018 Wow that's brilliant mate glad you have had a great season mine has been a complete disaster this year, out of three pairs I have had loads of deaths, broken eggs, and hens which have gone egg bound and lost. I have learnt a lot of lessons the hard way this year for next season, but I suppose you can't have all your own way all the time. But I think fingers crossed I might just, might get two young fledged this week coming with a bit of luck. And that's the only two, but two is better than none. But it is great to see nice pictures of healthy young birds well done mate your photos are great 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
