Meanwhile, in America

Kevin from Horsham and his mate Terry came over today to get some youngsters. Terry has had a disappointing breeding season after some alterations to his stock loft were not totally successful. So we agreed that these ones should go to him.
I gave him the pick of 6 out of the 8, I assured him I would be pleased to keep whichever ones he didn't take. There were a nice kit of babies in the box, he was well pleased.

We were standing out by the loft in the sun, and both of them commented on how cool the air coming out of it was. I showed them how the back vent at floor level and the high peaked roof creates excellent air movement. It looks quite enclosed, compared to most Aussie lofts, but the ventilation is good.

I had given the birds some veggies, and they were enjoying them. I explained it's just some veggies whizzed up in the blender. Easy.
Terry said to Kevin, " I know what you'll be doing tomorrow". Kevin laughed and replied, "You will be too!".

It was a nice visit and I am happy to see some more youngsters go to a place where they will be given a good chance.

I'm going to put the small sputnik that was on the stock shed in Bendigo on the aviary.
So I took it apart, cleaned it all up, gave it a couple of coats of paint and a new floor....

I hope the babies do you all proud mate

It looks strong that Murray, good trap that.

Yea I made that must be nearly 10 years ago. Good bit of bush carpentry.

I'm in trouble now. Goshawk has found the loft.
The damned things never give up. I had trouble getting the youngsters in this morning and then I saw why.

Oh dear not good at all

You will have to be on your toes there Murray, not good that mate.

That’s not good at all Murray. They are out and out killing machines. Hope you manage to get things sorted.
