Looks like a good variety of grass.and a good supply of seed and nesting material for the future.

Hope so Gomer they certainly like the new plants

looks good. it always feels good when you put new plants in and the birds go straight at it.
if you put any mulch around the plants be wary of pea straw as it can contain fungus spores, which once wet/damp will start to grow. learnt this the hard way when I had parrots, lost an aviary full of budgies.

Thanks Steven, picked up most of them from hawkens nursery, they are all natives, should look good once they have taken root.

You may have to cover them with a cylinder made from bird wire,If they give them a flogging.Untill they establish.

have seen in an aviary that the seeding grasses are in 2 sections, exactlt the same size plot with a moveable frame. which is used to cover one plot while the other is open to the birds. was made from some aluminium angle with wire rivete onto it
