The poly carb is alway's clear on conservatries and that is because the end's are sealed..if you want to stop the algea growing in there you need to seal the end's of to stop any water going up the channel's..

I'll tell you after the snow has gone.i ain't tempting fate by saying anything else .

[Millet 4,497]

No snow here but the wind is horrible..but aslong as it's not northerly everything will be fine as all the other 3 sides of the aviary are sheltered..the goldie's and mules are wanting to breed by the look of thing's as they are chasing each other all around the place..luckely they is plenty of space and hiding spot's..so they can get fit trying till this weather shape's up..

That scaffolding netting you gave me Millet is worth it's weight in gold with the winds and snow .

I had a goldie pair last year got out when the daughter opened the flight door they were feeding 2 x 15 day old chicks 2 put the chicks in a cage on aviary roof and both parents fed them through the cage but could not get them to go back in the aviary eventually put the chick inside a trap and re caught both parents within 3 days
