Aussie Finch Forum

Let me be the first to congratulate Mattym on a superb and informative newsletter. Lots of stuff I didn't know and great to see his aviary. I'm a bit curious about the apparent lack of shelter though. How do you keep the seed dry?

Mine wont load , thinking computer problem so will try again later .

took two tries for me to get it too Deb

Mine loaded very slowly - could be the computor - but as alway and interesting read.

I was thinking exactly the same thing. What a comprehensive treat Matthew's pieces were!

Which part of Australia are those aviaries?

got it and thoroughly enjoyed it ....twas a 2 cups of coffee read

Thank you tint and others for kind comments.

The pictured aviary is my (stalled) current construction, there will be two sheltered walls on the framed section after the roof goes on. The pictured birds are in my current large aviary, the roof of which is barely visible behind the hedge and to the left on the view marked 'front'. There are two substantial covered areas, each of about 10 sq. m.

You see, the other night I had a small conniption while trying to illustrate the profile. I was almost rendered insane by Microsoft, when Blue butterfly kindly took receipt of a zipped folder of photos and illustrated it for me (good job, BB, cheers). There are photos of the existing aviaries amongst them, which I can't post until tomorrow night when I get home, but you can see what I mean...

Glad it was enjoyed.

Good read Matty, well done.

Well done Di and thanks to the contributors
