Preparation for my operation

I gave my loft a good clean out yesterday, I've put loft dressing on the floor and two bags of cat litter pellets. I'll give the perches and nest boxes another clean tomorrow and put in extra water troughs, Wednesday morning I'll put enough food out for three or four days which will means the birds should be ok left until the weekend. Hopefully by then I will at least be able to walk down the garden and feed them

My operation is booked for Wednesday afternoon, I've been told no heavy lifting for 4 to 6 weeks (not sure what they class heavy lifting yet) I will find out exactly what I can do after the OP

Apparently if I don't do as I'm told and undo the repair then there is a chance that they won't be able to do it again so I do need to be sensible.
I still have too many birds, one of my jobs while recuperating is to go through and update all my records so I can establish what I have and who needs to go, I hate doing it but unfortunately needs must as I have too many birds that I cant race.
Here are a few pics of the loft and birds.

Looking good Trev. It is annoying with the photos and I donβt like the way you have to keep going in and out. With the other site you could just scroll through the photos. Also canβt play videos. If taking a photo with your phone take it on landscape rather than portrait.
Hope your operation goes well.

Hi Trev birds looking very well, that blue pied in bowl in last lot of pics well and truly stands out, I have found when doing pics think it is the way they get uploaded, forget it that makes no sense and I cannot thgink how to word it, try uploading in a different way turn pics is what I'm trying to say
Wishing a very speedy recovery mate, you will be able to lift a glass or two but not your wage packet

that is what they mean by heavy lifting, seriously mate listen to what they tell you I know folks who have had the same op, just take things steady and slowly

I'll try that the other thing is that I take them on my phone then Blue Tooth them to my tablet so it might be something to do with that. As the say not being able to scroll through the pics is a pain as is not being able to upload videos

I was hoping you might notice that blue pied mate

She is also the favourite of our friend and former Worthing member Brian Doick who looks after the birds for me when I'm away. I've got a lovely pair of late breds from them, the blue Cock is from Rich's (Bryn) stock crossed with Crammond lines, he was 4th Club 19th Fed from Hexham 295miles and 3rd Club 14th Fed 52nd Combine from Perth 404miles, the Blue pied Hen is yours mate

Thanks for the advice, I'll try turning them next time

Part of the trouble is I didn't lose many youngsters again last year.
