Thanks Buster.
It's exactly the same as the present loft. They will be in a row with a 4 foot walk in between them. That will also have feed bins and a cupboard and shelves.
I had an idea in my head to do this when the cottage was finished and this was done and that was done etc....
Devo has given me a kick in the bum to get it done.

Baby George isn't a baby anymore. He's a beautiful youngster and has both his parent's natures. He's very strong willed

He has always looked a very good youngster, you bred a cracker there Murray. Along with all the other young birds. Quality at its best mate.

Young George and his four little friends have been going in and out and flapping around for a few days.
Today they had their first serious go.
Short story, some were out most of the day. Young George got picked up when the youngsters had their second fly, and did a perfect helicopter landing and instant trap.
They are all in and that's that out of the way.

Great news Murray, they are a great little bunch of youngsters.

Yes, yes they are. A man is very lucky when, almost as an afterthought, he has a kit of late bred youngsters like these.

I let the big youngsters out as soon as it was fully light. The stock cocks lined up too, so I let them have a fly as well. over the hour the old blokes dropped in as they felt they had done enough.
After they had all cleared I let George and his mates out. A couple of them didn't stay out long but George joined the bunch and flew the hour. Only had his first fly yesterday
When they dropped he hit the tin and straight in. He's a great youngster.

The Cocky and her mate this morning.

I went to fetch some vegetables for the bird and found this hiding under the Courgette plant.
Good thing the pigeons like it

Great photo of the cockatoos. Lovely looking birds.
Good to see things coming along nicely.
