The Season so far


Harris Will

Recommended Posts

I just thought I'd post some pictures of my Female Harris Hawk, this is our 4th season together & every year she is getting better & better!

I have put the ferrets to use more this season as I gained some new permission that lent itself better to ferreting.

 

Ellie has took to the ferrets very well & now knows that they are part of the team & knows what they are there to do!

Hi John,

 

The Building itself is 14'x8'. The aviary is 10'x8' & there is a weigh room/storage room 4'x8'. Double door system. The sides are 22mm v-groove boards on 2"x2" stud work. I have lined the inside with Correx twin wall sheeting for easy cleaning & the bars are broom handles from screwfix inset into 2"x1" top & bottom to make a frame. The aviary is open floored with pea gravel over a liner. The weigh room has a suspended floor.

Hi harris will,

Im also goin to build a new weathering soon and i would just like to say that yours looks spot on,it looks very well built and thought out,i might go for somthing similar only a bit smaller. Did you build it yourself ? and what did it cost you roughly ?

thats a nice set up you have there. mind you that Lawn is going to waste when another chamber can be built there ;), You'll need another one as these old Harris's are shagging for England, eggs won't be long now mate :drinks:.

Hi Austringer, Thanks for that. Yeah I'd put quite a bit of thought into it lol. I would have probably made the weigh room bigger by a couple of feet. I just seem to have so much stuff that I'm always needing more space! I had the shed built (£925) including erection as I was flat out at work & didnt have time. They built it to my design. I put the base down & put the bars in, cladded the walls inside & fitted out the weigh room. Got a 1000 base unit & a bit of worktop & stuck that in there for work surface. All told I guess it stands me in at £1150. Some might say thats a lot but I think any animal deserves good accomodation! :thumbs:

This stuff mate...

http://www.sitebox.ltd.uk/product/CORREX/correx-sheet-standard-8-x-4-24m-x-12m-2mm-thickness-per-25-pack/

 

Its the stuff they make for sale boards out of. It will take a good going over with a scouring pad & hoses off well. Its very easy to fit up & cut to size!

Hi harris will,

 

Thanks for info mate,I think i mite go for the easy option and convert a prebuilt building/shed rather than starting from scratch lol

and i totally agree mate any animal does deserves good accomodation.atb :thumbs:

 

Nothing wrong with modifying an existing shed at all. The first shed I had was a converted summer house. :thumbs:
