Some new photos - my greens and some show cage training.

Moving house and cleaning cars and all the chores have stopped me blogging. Here are some treats today.

These are the final nest of 2013. Number 30 popped out this evening and has a great little saddle on his back.

I have bred 22 youngsters this year - one escaped and one died last week. The death was of one of my whites which was disappointing but we still have three whites bred this year. This is one of them.

Being so busy with cage cleaning and other house related stuff has given me less time to spend on the birds in a year when they really demanded more time but somehow we have managed between us - the birds and me.

Here are some of the nest of greens - I like their markings a lot.

And finally a little video

Some photos of the four babies from the green pair - leaving the nest this weekend and delighting me with their existence given that I lost their sibling a few weeks back when it flew away.

Some new photos

The nest of four green babies whose parents are the pair whose baby flew away from my shed at 3 weeks never to be seen again.

This is the seven chicks who have been weaned - I have them in a run of five flights cages interlinked.

This nest of three babies are just starting to wean today

And these are my new recruits to the show cage training cage. I have high hopes of one, perhaps two, of them.

I think that these chicks, three weeks old and the product of the cock bird from Aberdeen and the white hen, are probably the best birds I have so far bred.

The little green hen has four chicks. I am delighted as their father is an excellent bird and i am impatient to see what the chicks turn out like.

The white hen's second brood are now being weaned.

And most excitingly, two chicks hatched under my green hen - you will remember that her first chick escaped and has been lost. She still has two eggs to hatch. Great news for me.

Loanhead CBS Young Bird show

Great show at Loanhead today for young birds. Mine acquitted themselves well.
