We have babies we are feeding and babies ready for their new homes. Almost all of the nest boxes are down for now. I am looking forward to some free from feeding babies time this summer. The birds are looking forward to some time outside in the fresh air and sunshine. The outside flight still needs cleaned and double checked for safety and escape routes. I need to install a new light fixture as well. Once temperatures reach the 60's and will stay there day and night-out we go. The flight is actually covered but the translucent panels let in a lot of light and some panels are a translucent clear letting in a lot of good light. The 3 sides of the flight are open. Occasionally I have tarps up on each end to help block wind and rain.
I plan to have many live and edible plants in there this year. There are always ways to improve from the previous year. I learned last year that a small container of grasses is NOT sufficient. They attacked that and had it cleaned clear down to the soil in just hours last year. I have a better idea of what to do this year.
Our first show of the Spring show season will also be my only show. It will be April 18th and 19th in Bridgeport's Lanterman Park. We will be in the pavilion and open to the public for free. Come and see what goes on at a cockatiel show. We will have raffle items for anyone - you don't have to own a bird to participate. We will also have some birds for sale.
