I keep and breed a small number of Australian grass parakeets. This blog provides information and pictures of my birds and a log of their breeding activities. It is also a photo blog of landscapes and wildlife. My dog Buster may also make an appearance. For Nest Box Live - click the link above or visit my website!

Snow

It's very unusual to get a lot of snow here on the Furness peninsular due to it's location getting protection from the sea and the Lakeland fells.  If it snows here the rest of the country must be having it bad. Night time temperatures are down to -10C and it's staying well below freezing during the day.  At this time of year my aviaries don't get any sun and keeping the birds with fresh un-frozen water is becoming a problem.  Tubular heaters give the birds some protection and they all appear to be doing OK....however, it's only December.


Buster likes it...
