Outdoor Aviary Birds

I would get peafowl but I believe they are too loud. Also dont parrots need heat in the winter? Any more ideas?

Well you didn't specify what time of the year.So I guess peafowl,partridge,quial,ducks,geese.I've heard that some people have a pair of goldens and a pair of impeyans in the same pen year round with good results.I don't suggest as you know how I feel about putting 2 breeds together,even though it is impossible for them to cross breed,I personally would not do it.

I just looked up the bleeding heart pigeons and victoria crowned pigeon. I LOVE THEM!!!! How big do the victoria crowned pigeon get? Where can you get either of these birds? Do either need anythings special like heat or food? I will look into geese. I dont know though. My uncle has about 7 geese and they are mean loud and disgusting. His are domesticated though. I would get wild.

Ok never mind saw the price of crowned pigeon. I dont have a few grand to spend on pigeons. Though the greenwing doves look pretty. Cant either doves live with ring neck doves? Sorry so many questions.

Couldn't tell ya.Don't know much about doves.I would think they would be okay but I would ask someone that raises doves.

Well I have some research to do. What do you feed your red goldens?

 

[Tony K T]

Gamebird and turkey finish/grower mixed with cracked corn and few layer pellets until I wean the layer pellets out.As a treat every once in a while,wild bird seed,black sunflower,peanuts(unsalted only),fruits,veggies.
