I picked up these 2 pair of dna sexed tri colour nuns yesterday prior to the orange bird sale. It will be interesting to see how this new venture pans out. From what I could see there appeared to be plenty of birds being unloaded and quite a few set up along the benches and that was 6pm Friday.
Today the weather is good for a change and sitting on a pleasant 30 degrees which for here is classed as hot! The large car parks must be full too as by 12 noon the cars were parked outside my place on either side of the street. Have not seen that for a couple of years now.

Thanks. I will give them a hit and see what happens. I checked out the aviary today and on my way up heard one of the cock birds crowing and it was pretty loud too. Then again I could be wrong and it's a gouldian...lol

If your aviary doesn't have longish grass growing in it for the Nuns to climb up and down keep watch on
the length of their toe nails. It seems the grass keeps their nails short and their legs are generally cleaner and not
so many rough scales.
