Another New House!! 

The new posh pad!!

Inside the new house. There is more room between the perches, so more room for them to stretch their wings if they want to. 

The perches go up like a ladder, easier for them to climb up, especially for flame and Vala  who are not too good at keeping their balance.

The house is looking pretty plush now just a bit more painting to do before its finished completely. They are spoilt little chickadees!! 

Snug as a bug in a rug

They've soon got used to their new plush pad. It's nice and easy to collet the eggs too, just open the door and the nesting boxes are just on the left. 

 

A couple sitting in the nesting boxes getting ready to lay. These two didn't mind having their pic took, if it had  been Ida she would have protested!!

Most of them lay in the morning but sometimes you can find one nesting late into the afternoon. Here Flame is having a late day.
