-------------------------------------------I love to grow peas in the gardens...the birds love the flowers/new shoots and the peas!
-----------------------------------------------------------------If you have babies I want one
----------------------------------------Actually, what I REALLY wanna do is turn my bird room closet into an aviary...
I'm only 45 minutes from Caldwell. But I go over to Nampa which it right next to Caldwell at least once a week since my parents live there now.Susan,
I see your in Idaho. How far are you from Caldwell? In July/08 I shipped a pair of White-backed mousebirds there. If you are not too far, I can tell you who has them so that you can see some up close.
Nice aviary
----------------------------------------
That would work. I had an indoor outdoor aviary once. I had glass sliding dooors and built half of it in the room and half out. This way, on the days with real bad weather I could shoo the birds inside and close the door.
You can also build a cage and attach it to a window so that they can go in and out, and have the room as a flight room.
He looks like he is waiting for a tiel or mouser to come flying out!How do you protect your outside flocks from getting anything from wild birds

I got a pix of my wild bird deterrent this AM....
What good mousersAnd the BN are sitting good. The 2 pairs are taking care of the eggs, and the 2 single males are the look-outs
They've fallen in love with their new mommy, that is whyWhat good mousers
----------------------------------------------
Yes...they have been good about the nest...I was pleasantly pleased, because the first time I had set them up they were too skittish and just layed but wouldn't care for the eggs.
