  11. i got interested by accident a bird landed in my yard with boken leg strapped up to matches to its leg for 2 weeks sortoed and it stayed with us until the sparowhawk attacked and i missed the little fellow so i then decided to build a small loft and get myself a few birds

    i have lost a cock bird looking for 1 to pair up to his hen he been missing for 4 days she has abandoned her clutch but luckily had 2 pair lay same time but placed dummy egg under each and took there egg away put her 2 eggs under them but need to find her a mate any1 in manchester area cheers
  23. i dont just leave it i empty it everyday and fill it back up with fresh water they i have also just got the a bath bowl was told that they enjoy that, and seems that they do
  24. I have other nest boxes they can go in, there is always a fresh supply of water i got a water feeder from my uncle who used to breed budgies it has a large container so the supply is constant, will they use the other boxes and what about the young they have now will they still look after them
  25. will do all this advice is much appreciated i should have done more research before getting any birds didn't realise how much there was to know and learn but i am enjoying them with my sons i cant wait to get the other loft up and get a kit of birds flying i am then going to look into getting a few racers and maybe join our nearest club will take 1 step at a time for now
