Fortunately life sometimes balances the scales, with some good to mitigate the bad. Congratulation, very nice pieds.

Good for you, Wildbill.
Enjoy.

hi all
thanks for all the nice replies. about 6 months back when the rat almost wiped out my finches - it was a feeling i care not to remember.
so this lot were bred in my best 'high security" style aviary and all my job is to try and keep them kicking :thumbup:
