  1. Yes that's a kakariki.They come in quite a few different colours. Some are all yellow or all green with the red crown and some and a mixture of the two. HC
  2. That one at the back has some nice colouring on it.All the best with them. HC
  3. Looks a nice walk.I agree though the heat gets to you and the dogs after awhile. HC
  4. Good looking trio you've got there.That pup has a nice coat on him to.
  5. Yes looks like she's coming back into season. They normally do after a set of kits. HC
  6. That is a dark one. Like the look of the albino to,always liked the lighter coloured ones.Nothing better for them to be out being handled and played with. HC
  7. Good looking pup.Good luck with the coming months.
  8. Nice catching lads. Can't wait to get mine going next year.
  9. A nice bit of education for the pup.He/shes looking good and coming on well. HC
  10. Nice looking bit of ground.Should be some good days out.
  11. My whippetXbull pup is now just over 4 months and has surpassed all expectations so far.His retrieve is brilliant and is good with other dogs and livestock .What surprised me the most is his love of water,he's in at every opportunity which does help in this hot weather.
  12. I used to keep them free flying and they nested in a dovecote but aren't great at flying so were picked off. They do best in a large secure aviary with at least 2 nest boxes per pair and do become very tame.Aslong as they can stretch there wings and have short flights within an aviary they do well. If you wanted fantails that can free fly your best bet would be garden fantails that have smaller less upright tails and a better at flying.
  13. Best of luck with them,they all look to be a good size. What's the breeding?
  14. would a sparrow hawk be able to kill a pigeon ,? as i the s/h are not hat big are they .? As already said sparrow hawks are more than capable of taking a pigeon and regularly nabs one of my racing pigeons or doves. The main thing that helps them is the relative slow pace of a pigeon taking of which allows it to get a hold before it gets up.
  15. It's definitely a strange one and looks to have got a mate although I've yet to see there of spring to see if it's the albino gene.
  16. Sounds like a sparrow hawk,I get a lot this time of year on my aviaries,I assume there youngsters that don't understand the mesh of the aviary.Mind you be careful if you have nervous or jumpy birds as a hawk hitting the mesh can make them fly into the roof and injure or kill themselves.
  17. I saw this female blackbird yesterday near me.Has any one ever seen one similar or know why it is caused?
  18. Here's mine at just over 3 months,doing well with recall and retrieve.His behaviour around the ferrets is spot on and great with other animals aswell.
  19. Nice looking birds are they a pair?
  20. Good looking land you have out there,not many of these bramble hedges I've got were I go.
  21. Good little trip,it's keeps the dog entertained and keen.
  22. Nice pictures and a lovely looking whippet.
  23. Nice little pack you've got there,that collie is a good looking dog.
  24. Definitely a unique colouring.All the best with him,seems like he's doing well so far.
  25. Exellent looking dog,best of luck with her.
