PEA

Hi everyone, Just an update on my outside avairy. I'm very excited and so is peanut that the builders are coming tomorrow to start the ground work. They are putting 38mm concrete slabs down & making it level. Is there anything I should know before they start? How does it work where some space is left to plant trees or greenery, what do I tell them to do. Thanks

thanks both of you, yeh I've seen metal ones but I will need to get one that attaches to my house or a free standing one, and I need to decide if I am to pay double to get a double aviary, then I need to think about how to cover it, add a box or double door. I suppose I wouldn't need a double safety door if it was attached to the house, or a hutch type thing, But I'd like to create an aviary that I was able to leave my grey in most of the day if need be. (if I was to go back to work) and I may even get another grey, a boy one for her ??!!!

Hi there, I'm getting an outside aviary & wondering whether to get one that attaches to my bungalow or one at the back of the garden (so I can see it through my bedroom and kitchen windows). My garden needs to be levelled as it goes up on a slant and there are heavy stones in parts of it, so I think it will have to be the back part of the garden that's levelled where the aviary can go. My garden is only small & the aviary will have to be around 8ft by 8ft max and 8ft high. My problem is that I'm reading contradictory things online, like aluminium is not suitable, galvanized is toxic, wood will be chewed, Mesh will be chewed, and most importantly I read somewhere that a jackdaw ripped off a parrots leg because there was only one panel of mesh or whatever it was. Do I need to double up on the panels (in other words buy two aviaries) I don't want this happening to my girl. She was out in her carry cage a few weeks ago and I saw a jackdaw land on it with her inside, luckily I was watching her like a hawk and I shot out arms in the air. I think the lady/man at avifav said that it'll be an extra £ 600 for double, I don't want her little legs getting bitten off, has this ever happened to anyone? there's loads of seagulls around here too, oh & next door has 6 cats...

Hi there, I have just noticed a photo of a bird with a metal lead attached to his foot ring... I never thought of doing this, my parrot hasn't had her wings clipped and she won't wear a harness. Should I try this ?

thanks I do give her organic seeds, but she won't eat much if any of her pellets, even when I soak them in cranberry or pineapple juice, any ideas guys? is KT different to pellets, I keep sending £10 on different bags of pellets etc but she's not interested!

awr thanks everyone, she's a princess isn't she ha ha she's a real character. love the look of your babies too, it's great this forum

I give her roughly 3 meals a day of this kind of stuff (pellets soaked in pineapple juice, sprouted chic pees, veg, fruit and seeds. I sometimes feel like she's not getting a goof variety of different foods

does anybody know if you still have the map thing? ! where you're able to see who lives near you etc

oh, I did it! even if it is the wrong way up!

hmmm I give up trying to upload a photo, haven't got a clue! I read the top post but I don't know how to do a full reply as every reply I do doesn't work

Hi there, my name is becky, I have an African grey parrot called peanut who is 11 years old and a sweetheart . She recently laid an egg which took me by surprise as I thought she was male! she rules the roost and is spolit. Although I think I need to learn about extra foods to cook for her
