These are couple of pictures of our first clutch of baby lovebirds.


They are 24 days old and the are so tame, and are not hand reared birds.

At this age parent reared cockatiels would be growling like mad!

Fresh case of bird flu in turkeys

About 5,000 birds are being slaughtered after avian flu was confirmed in turkeys on a Suffolk farm, government officials have announced.
The Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said the H5 strain was found in turkeys near Diss on the Norfolk and Suffolk border.
The farm also houses ducks and geese and all the birds will be slaughtered.
A 3km protection zone and a 10km surveillance zone are in the process of being set up.

Preliminary tests showed the turkeys, which were being raised for Christmas, had the H5 strain of bird flu, but it is not yet known whether it is a highly pathogenic form of the disease.
All birds are being slaughtered at the premises, and Defra said it was consulting on what further measures may be needed.
Inside the zones, bird movements will be restricted and all birds must be housed or isolated from contact with wild birds.
All poultry keepers on the British poultry register will be notified and EU officials have been informed.
