Hey

So qurrentine of new birds is up and after a near disaster trying to catch goulds for air sac treatment i decided to create an outer flight room. Its a little dark atm been raining for a week here am getting lighting next week. Any suggeations?
Also have purchased s76 treatmet and quick gel to make treatment little easier. Had to get it from a vet in nsw. $$$

The little one i had trouble with ants in nest is doing great now eating on his own but still begging from parents and new arivals. Have 4 nesting boxes for 3 pair. Enough?

After a week of rain and large thunder at night birds look a little tired having quick naps in between feeds. Dont seem to like rain much. Anyways here is some photos let me know what u think.
Cheers

I would remove some of that timber accross the centre inside the cage to allow the birds to more easily fly up and down. And put the food at floor level to encourage up and down flight. This is more strengthening than lengthwise flight. I may be wrong but it looks like they are only able to comfortably use the top 1/3 of the cage. They look like a nice mixed bunch. Enjoy.
