What a beautiful morning for a pedal out the New England Highway. Not a cloud in the sky and a very pleasant temperature with no wind. Very easy and pleasurable push biking conditions. I always get a kick out of the notice board local country school I ride past.

It’s been a cracker of a 2025 season so far, even better than last season, which is hard to believe that is possible. Last season was double the previous one.
There are many big nests of fertile eggs and as a result loads of youngsters. It is a bit of a nice problem to have. We will run out of rings way too soon and we are struggling with finding places to put the youngsters to increase the number of chicks that survive the hatching and weaning process. When you get big nests of eggs , 10 or more, you have to be on the ball to maximise the number of chicks you get to the perch. These big numbers are I reckon are a result of targeted nutrition and keeping the birds in conditions to help them thrive.

Finally, all the sale/spare birds have exited the building. Having breeders come and see the birds and check out how they are housed and bred is so much better for the new owners and is a more social way to enjoy the hobby. Old-school buying at the aviary eliminates so much buyer purchasing remorse and disastrous breeding outcomes. I have seen many lines of birds ruined by the introduction of silly procurements.

A good spring clean and the aviary is ready for the next generation. Note the size of the aviary: 5 metres long and 2.2 metres high. Lots of fresh air and exercise are paramount for healthy, strong birds. No quail flights here.
