Atb Sam The cages look bang on too pal. Easy to clean the full wire fronts & side cages There's some Italian ones I've had my eyes on. Not cheap though. Who's the designer off them you've got.

As for the chair & fridge would be nice. But little disturbance this time of year. I try to keep away from the birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Insulation needs covering but i'll get to it in the future it's only cosmetic. Saw a pair of bullies and goldies feedin each other already so fingers crossed. Would have had two pair native bullies and a pair sib bullies but lost a bully hen to going light a few week ago, was gutted. Got some baycox in the pantry now and theyre on it first two days of every month to keep it bay so hopefully no more issues. Chance in hell in findin another bully hen to pair cock with at this time of year but if by some miracle anyone hears anything let me know Cheers Sam Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bangersanmash 2,779 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Foniopaddy seeds helps to prevent birds going light mate. Great little seed it's been veterinarian tested too. Another that I used in the water virkon S twice a week. Only a few specks quater of a teaspoon in 2 litres of water. That will kill any nasties too. Old pigeon man told me about the virkon S doesn't do any harm to birds at all. Some poultry men use it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bangersanmash 2,779 Posted March 26 Report Share Posted March 26 Try keep away from baycox & baytril unless they are going light. Don't give them that every month. Because when the birds get immune to the shite you'll be stuck. Nothing else will work. Natural things spices great for the immune in birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
