I once again have waxbills!!!
waxbills are my favourite finch group of all time, and it includes all the blue ones :lol: :D
I have received a pair each of:

Saint Helenas (fawn)
Cordons
Jacarinis
Tri-Nuns

from E Orix :D :D :D
now I realise nuns and jacarinis aren't waxbills :roll:
They are so beautiful it's been so long since I've had the dear cordons... already chirpy-chirp-chirp-ing in the sun!

On a not-unrelated note, MY AVIARY WILL BE OFFICIALLY DONE THIS AFTERNOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just have to secure the last piece of wire, and cover over the drainage hole so mice can't get in :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Interestingly, I was playing around with my recording device yesterday, and I recorded the saint's calls... I played them back and the saints went into a frenzy with calls they had not previously made. A bir cruel, perhaps, so I stopped. I am looking forward to seeing what happens when I get my other pair of saint helenas from Matt :)

I will post videos of the big release on youtube after I have released them (obviously :P ) probably sunday or monday.

by the way, for those interested there is a big poultry show this weekend... is anyone else going? it's here in canberra. I will be attending :D
chickens, other poultry, pheasants and quail, I think.

9-5 today, 9-2 tomorrow.

So excited! I'm off to eat brekkie in front of their box so I can observe them for a bit :D
