Nowra Bird Sale

I attended Nowra bird sale again this year with so many great birds and mutations. It is a awesome event but I just wish it was in a bigger venue (so crowded and hot). I recommend early start if your after something in particular or late if your after a bargain.

I didn't get many pictures due my one and half year old son wanting to be attached to me the whole time but I did manage to pick up what I was after (bird carrying box). I also resisted the urge to purchase any new additions for my aviary.

Scarlet Chested Parrot Mortality

I have had one of this season young Scarlet Chested females die recently. I'm really concerned about the high mortality rate especially amongst my Scarlet Chested Parrots. This particular bird looked particularly healthy and in good feather, the only abnormal thing I observed is that lower part of the beak was further out than the upper, something that I certainly had not notice before hand.

I'm going to do some research into this, I know they are not as hardy as some of my other parrots but the rate of loss I'm experiencing lately should not be so high.

My wife has burrowed a friends digital SLR camera, allowing me to get great high resolution images of my birds (see the side of my blog) which has been awesome.

I'm going to the Nowra bird sale next weekend which should be awesome. I'm planning to purchase a carrying box and I'll try and sneak in some pictures for this blog.
