Hello all, my name is Pam and I live on a smallholding in Lincolnshire. I have always loved birds and have chickens and a turkey, I have had birds of prey in the past too. I am going to build a large aviary this spring and I think budgies are the way to go as although I'd like a mixed aviary, I think I need a bit more experience first. The aviary will be around the 16 foot by 7 mark, including a house at one end, it might change though, as we have a BIG garden! I will be looking for a reputable breeder when the time comes..  |

Hello and welcome undergruntled!!  Lovely to meet you. You have come to the right place for a friendly bunch of budgie/bird fanciers! We all need advice at times and this is the place to get it! I have five chickens and five budgies. The no. 5 not being by design but by accident really! Looking forward to hearing how you progress with the aviary and there is a section on here for 'other birds and pets' which I regularly update re my chookies. |

 I sound a bit mad, but I can't find that pic now, I have masses of photos on an external drive... it was of me on my falconry course. Here is a pic of my own bird, KT. She is a Harris hawk. I no longer own her sadly.. |

She is a beauty ..... I am hoping she is still alive? So the background is not your own place, then?

I had to rehome her as I got a job with 12 hour, day and night shifts. They need a lot of attention and need to be weighed daily. I sadly could not devote the time to her any more. The place I did the course was the Raptor Foundation, fab place near Huntingdon. Back then I had an eagle owl and foxes too... these days it's just the sheep and the ponies and the poultry outdoors, and many many cats indoors!
