cool craig there on my list of wants for the next house . 5 year plan. gomer with softies the bigger the cage the harder to catch , but its better for them so if u have a dedicated feeding area like a quarter of your aviary space that you can close of with one door it makes them much easier to catch .....pete

Thanks Greg - I would kill though for some of the things you have access to up there. And your comments on another thread about year round availability of green grass seed nearly drove me crazy. Have you posted any pics of your setup?

Hi craig have you had any further breeding success since your first fledged young. Also are there any special husbandry requirements that these birds require that you have learnt along the way. Cheers
