Looked out in the aviary this afternoon and here are my young ruddies sitting down in the corner with grass around them and a heap of feathers in it, now they have plenty of nest boxes, coconut shells , brush etc. i think they are just a bit young.

What else is in the aviary? its size? something maybe bullying them?

Honestly i think after putting the feathers in the receptacle yesterday , a heap blew down on the floor and i just think they were down on the ground and i just happened to see them.

Nothing is threatening them, today a few times i walked past and they were up with the others.

I use an onion bag to hold my feathers in. Hang it up somewhere and watch as they pick the feather they want and extract it. Cut down on the mess big time.

My pied ruddies have built a nest in a pot plant in the aviary at the base of the plant on the soil in the pot
