  10. i have mine on a deep litter of natural floor granuals, best thing i have ever done, all nestboxes and y/bird pipo boxes have grills so takes about 10 mins a day, i used to clean out 3 times a day a few years a go but that had to change when i got the dreaded pfl, but eh, it means more time watching the birds rather than being a slave to them

    DEAD BIRD

    if the bird was eating ok 15 mins before it died tells me it cant have been ailing much mate as a poorly bird would have gone of its food, as i said probably a heart attack, had a stock bird 4 years ago content sitting on eggs, went back in with feed 10 mins later and was dead
