It has a nice view of the lake. If it’s not hazy from the smoke it has a beautiful sunset.

Any hope that the mornings will be at least cool?

Before moving to where we are now I helped out another breeder by taking his less beautiful babies, or ones that needed saving (inexperienced parents often make mistakes) to hand raise. He's no longer breeding cockatiels (he was finding it too much around shift work) but he does have other birds that are happy just to breed once a season.

Last summer was the first time I did it for myself. Just yesterday a pair I have separated off were checking out the nestbox. :yesss: The hen isn't hand raised but because most of our other birds are she's become pretty tame and she's very smart and cheeky. Her partner is a bit of a character too. He's hand raised and makes me laugh when he dances in slow motion.

Very cool!

Nope - had more than enough rain. Its definitely been wetter than last winter as we have boggy areas that were dry last winter. I'm a bit over the mud.

It's winter where you are?! :p no wonder it's rainy over there.

Hi everyone! It's howling a gale here again. The wind woke me up a few times in the night. I'm wondering how the electric fencing tape has held up in the wind. Hopefully we don't have cows and sheep wandering about! It's still dark here so I can't see anything yet.

Stay safe!

We have bad air quality from one of the fires burning in our area.

When are you likely to get a break from the fires?

Hopefully the two burning now will be contained soon. They will burn for some time though. The Dixie fire is very big.

The fire season goes until sometime after November so we may have more fires coming.
