fireman 10,774 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Well my birds are going crazy,both cocks and hens calling and singing their heads off with plenty of courting going on with the goldies and even seen a greenfinch carry a few grass strands about the other day.A couple of years ago i had lesser redpoll chicks in a nest outside at the end of febuary and if we don't get a cold snap soon i can see a few of mine jumping the gun and getting themselves going a bit early this year.Anyone else's showing sign yet?.

tong po 129 Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 all my bullies go in one aviary during the off season so i'll have to keep an eye on them and hope they don't start pairing up to early and with the wrong partner. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
