New additions

The last few months have been largely cleaning, maintenance and pest control.

However I have made some new additions. I have purchased a new Gouldian hen to replace the one that was attacked and killed by a rat.

The Nowra bird sale on the weekend also allowed me to add a male Cockatiel to pair with my hand raised female "Tishi" and a pair of King Quail. My son Noah has decided to name the pair of quail "Muddy" and "Rosy".

I have heard quite a few bad luck stories in regard to King Quail flying. Usually letting the quails out to have a peck around in the garden or back yard and eventually ends up in the quails getting spooked and flying away for good. I was demonstrated this ability at the bird sale with one of my new quails flying straight up and half way across the hall when being transferred to my box.
