please don't be jealous!! This is the only run where I can keep growing gras. I need to figure out a way to grow gras in at least part of the run. But they kill it so fast!! We had lots of rain lately...so it is growing very fast at the moment. I've been thinking of building some growing...

Hi @Erba so nice to have you back! I am sad that you lost all your birds. It just sucks! So far I have been so lucky. It must have been devestating to lose your birds, and it sounds like more than once. Hope to see you here more often.

Oh love those pictures! Thank you for sharing!

That's right!!! You did say you were going on vacation! Enjoy Madeira! I would love to see it one day.
