Fall 2010 breeding

Another succesful pair. On their previous mating gave me 3 silvers. Now they raised 8 chicks out of 9 eggs! Take a look, 3 greens, 2 yellows, 2 blues and 1 silver.

Seed cleaner/winnower



I just made this seed cleaner and it actually works!!! I could not believe my eyes because I have been trying for a couple of days now to make it to work. I followed an article on the internet on how to build it but based on those instructions it wasn't working properly. So I had to sit down and think to figure out the reason why it was not working and........ I finally figured it out.
Anyway, it works just fine and in the blue bucket you see it's the clean seed after run through the winnower. A very useful tool for a fancier with a lot of birds and very inexpensive to make.

Pleasure to the eye
