And yes I need more bushes and plants inside I am working on putting more cover and roosts.

The aviary has a number of small shelters around the periphery. Every day the 2 males will sit together at one end and the females at the other end. Just the ring necks I have the yellow golden and the partridge cannot get on with these 2. I live in the mountains of malaysia so our weather is...

Hi and thanks for this, currently my aviary is 432 sq feet is 12 meters x 4 meters or 36 feet x 12 feet and 9 feet high. So based on your example of 20 sg feet per bird plus 10 for roosting is something like 60sq feet per pair am I correct? Then my 432 sq feet should in theory be enough. But...

Hi ok I have read and seen here that some keepers are keeping 2 or 3 species together so I thought it can be done. I know a local guy has a large pen and has golden, reeves and Lady amherst together. They seem to get along, he tells me as long as he spends tine each day with the birds and hand...

Hi and Good morning Sir, yes I have read this. The red golden and the reeves all seem to be friends no issues there. The Reeves and the ring neck are not friends. But the main trouble makers are the chukar partridges. It looks like I will have no choice but to build dividers in rhe aviary. Tha...

Hi to all that read this. I have read many forums and read many conflicting facts, so let me go through my story so far. I recently built a large aviary measuring 12 meters x 4 meters x 3 meters high. My intention was to have several species of pheasants in the one long enclosure. Originally...

Brilliant many thanks for the response, I was getting worried I had asked a dumb question. So far we have a pair of golden pheasants, one solitary chukar and a pair of ring necks all in the current pen. All seem friendly enough during the non breeding time. The longer rather than wider version...

Hi and good morning people, I currently have an aviary 12 meters long and 4 meters wide and it is 3 meters high. I have inside golden pheasants 1 pair and also a pair of ringneck pheasants. There are also some songbirds. I want to extend this to take in additional birds so was wondering what are...

Hi people, I recently was given 3 youngish chukar partridges. I was told they were 1 male and 2 female. 2 clearly have hard bumps where the spur should be, one has a bumb on one leg but nothing on the other leg. Would you think these are all males?

Hi and good morning, I am building an extension to my existing aviary and it will house pheasants, partidges and quail. There will also be song birds. The current aviary is 12 meters long 4 meters wide and 3 meters high. I now want to expand this so the question is. Which is better? Meaning...

Hi Guys, I have interesting but also very sad dilemma. I had 2 pairs of mandarin ducks for 3 years, they never bred or even showed signs of mating. Then both males in a very short space of time died. I was left with 2 females. I moved home and now have a very large pond and open area. I have...

Hi everyone who has helped me on my mandarin male issues. Well to update the situation is now as fast as he lost all of his colour and went as brown as the female he has suddenly started to grow back the colour. His face is getting the white back, the back of his neck is tufted again and the...

Hi to anyone reading this, my male mandarin has lost head feathers but grown the two orange sail feathers on his wings that he didn't have when I bought him. However no sign of mating but he is preening the female that came with him and she is preening him. On a other note my two single mandarin...

Hiand thanks, yes I was wondering if because in the lowlands is always around 30-35 degrees C and here where I live is at 1300 meters above sea level we are a good 15 degrees cooler. Maybe it thinks it is winter I don't know but the females have not changed. I will post some pics later. Also...

Hi and many thanks, yes this is what I read too, but he is already changing to recluse plumage and not yet mated this year. The previous owner said they mated and had eggs last year August so I really don't understand what is happening here

Thank you I have reposted it there.

Hi Guys, I am recently retired and have built a large pond in my garden. I live high in the mountains of Malaysia at an altitude of 1300meters above sea level. In my pond I have a pair of call ducks that are currently nesting and she has 8 eggs. I also have 2 pair of mallards, 1 pair of mini...

Thanks for this, how long generally does this take? Is this normal for this time of the year?

Hi guys, I recently bought 2 pairs of Mandarin ducks for my Pond and also 1 pair of paradise shell ducks. The shell ducks took ages to start feeding but now seem ok, the Mandarin ducks in the other hand seem to settle pretty quick. I have had them about 6 weeks now but notice one of the Drake's...
