I plan on visiting a couple soon who have just started up with birds in a mixed aviary they have started with a pair of Red Rump Parakeets, 7 Budgies and some Qualls i am in the process of mentoring them into the hobby and making sure they avoid buying bad birds and getting put off in the hobby, when i visit them next which will be early this week i will take photos of there aviary to share with the forum, Thanks guys cant wait to show you!

hi there owain my open aviary is a bit of a mixture,52 budgies,19 zebra finches,6javas,1weever sparrow,and 6 chinese painted quail on top of this i have 5 pairs budgies in breeding cages,3 in junior flight ,i think when you say bad birds you meant to say birds of not a very high standard,i went down this route buying the cheapest i could find plus any freebie ,big mistake better to buy 4 gooduns than 20 not so gooduns,out of all the budgiesi have only maybe 18 are of a reasonable standard and for breeding and their offspring showing end ofnext year,the rest are aviary birds only, some young will end up in a local petshop to be sold on as pets
regards gerwynmr2
