Don’t worry, I took it off straight away, but it did make me giggle 😂

Little Bob Ross impersonator here will be going for her cut tomorrow, poor baby can’t see 😂 What cut do you have for your cockapoo? I usually have like a teddy bear cut for her, but I find not enough gets cut off and I’m back at the groomers couple of weeks later. Lately, I’ve just asked for them to cut her as short as possible, but not skinned, just to give more time before cuts. However, I’m tempted one day to get the poodle cut 🥹

It’s been very warm in the UK today, so I’ve been checking on the birdies loads. Came out, my little snowflakes are all snuggled in their tree 😭 I love how much these guys love to perch! I’ve found these guys have dealt with the warmth a lot better than my jumbo whites as well. Does anyone know if California Quails are similar to these guys with the perching behaviour? They’re the next type of quail I’d love!

They always call out to each other! Ones on the other side of the aviary, which they can get through using the inside bit, but I don’t think they’ve figured it out yet as I’ve now mixed them all together with my British whites. Everyone gets on very well! Rubbish quality as per on my phone though, sorry for the blurriness lol.

Hiya everyone! My snowflake bobwhites are a bit older now, they’re 9/10 weeks. But Jesus Christ these things love to fly. Picking up and separating was CRAZY! But I’ve separated what I think are boys and girls. Could I have your opinion if you agree please or let me know if I’ve made any mistakes. Surplus boys will be rehomed as I need the right balance, will only look to keep 1 I think. The first one is housed inside at the moment due to a head injury, but I think she’s a girl! Thanks everyone as always for your kindness and help 😊

Hi everyone, many thanks to all your help and support in combating resource guarding. All your tips I’m using and implementing to try and take control of things 😊

However, another struggle we have twice a week is brush time. The comb she is fine with but the slicker brush, it’s so so tough and she constantly bites. This is somethings she’s done since 8 weeks old and no source of reward has ever changed it, worst is, she doesn’t do this at the groomers! She’s good as gold they say! Anyone have any tips on this?

After a battle, she’s all freshly brushed 😅

My little snowflakes are 7 weeks now! However, I think I have a lot of males 😭 A poor little one has been bullied and pecked on his head, so he’s been separated while he heals and being spoilt inside which he’s loving haha. Hopefully I can vent sex in the next week or two and start separating, but I think by some of their faces, they’re male, what do you think?

Our snowflake bob white chicks have made the transition into the other half of the aviary! They’ve been quite wary at first, but they’re all slowly gaining confidence exploring! More things to come for enrichment, but they needed to get out the brooder 😂

Got my an aviary extended today and I’m so happy! There’s an entrance for the quails to get in either side, but I’m just waiting on a delivery of sand, water and feed dispenser, and hides before I can let them go in and out, I’m so happy! 🥹

Couldn’t be more proud of my snowflake bobwhite chicks progress. They’re coming along so healthy and I’m just so happy! 🥰 First picture is just a cage I put them in while cleaning out their main brooder, but I just love their patterns and feathering! I found these chicks a lot more less tame then my British whites, not sure if that’s a common thing, but I’m still trying 😅

Done something different on the aviary, I’ve done half soil and half sand for them and they seem to love it! I have a broody hen that refuses to come off some eggs too, so she kept me company whilst I done it. Is this something anyone’s ever done as substrate?
