Thanks Matt,

Well now I'm in a real quandary. As you have suggested, my birds, have both wire cylinders and brush. There is plenty of November grass and meal worms regularly. The also get the seeding grasses and lebanese cucumber. And FB, there are no spiders in the aviary. If ever one ventured in, I think it would be bird feed in a few seconds. Jacarinis love them.

I'm just thinking the stars take over too much. Might try the St Helenas in a smaller aviary with only a few birds next season.

Cheers,
Frank

Didn't get time for a photo today, seed I bought out at Boggi, when I was at Gunnedah yesterday got the bottom of the bags wet in the storms on the way home, even though they were double tarped plus the tourno cover. Had to thow out 100kg wheat, 40 kg Sunnies, 20kg white, 15kg Jap (wich was actually Shiroie, some ones going to get one hell of a phone call tomorrow), & about 10 kg red, so spent all day cutting open each bag & gently scapping the dry seed from the top. There was enough millet thrown out to fill my wheel barrow. NOT HAPPY :x :x :evil:

Hope you planted the seed so at least it can turn into green seed and not be a complete waste.

The chooks ended up with a wheat floor to the pen, the sunnies just went straight into a bin to sort out later (when the wheat in with the chooks gets a little low), & by the time I finished saveing what I could I was too Pissed off to care & spread it out fairly thickly in patches down the front acre, what the Red-Heads, Double-Bars, Wonga Pigeons, & Rosellas don't eat might give me a few seed heads for mid to late sping, if the rats & mice don't finish it off.

VR1Ton,

commiserate with you problems and loss - there is no hurry for that photo. If and when it happens is fine.
