Aussie Finch Forum

HI I am jim 54 years old and live in Edinburgh Scotland , i am currently keeping Gouldian, hecks, parsons, stars and cherries.I have 2 planted aviaries attached to my 8ft by 8ft bird shed, ,

Welcome to the forum. I believe it has been pretty warm in your half of the world recently. Warm enough to have the birds outside almost all the time like we do here in Oz.

Hi Jim & Welcome to the Forum

Welcome to the forum.

I would love to see some photos of your setup one day. It's so interesting seeing how European breeders incorporate cold-weather protection into their aviary designs.

Currently 14 degress but was up at 30 in july ,not use to it ,birds enjoyed it .putting up plastic sheets as a wind break from the westerly winds ,this weekend .was at a bird sale on sunday at carlisle on the English border,sold bullfinches and goldfinches to give more room for aussie grassfinches☺

Good luck

Thanks for the welcome great forum such a lot of information to get through, will get some pictures of my set up for you guys .

It was only 5 - 19 degrees here yesterday and scheduled to be 9 - 20 today, so not too big a temperature difference at the moment. But you can keep your winters, as I tell my sister who lives in Outer Alton. (near Wimbledon)
