Sebastian Vallelunga's Bird Room |
 |
|
Sebastian's bird room is located
in No. California. The structure measures 24' long by 4' wide. It has
3 sections 8' long with the middle section used as a night shelter.
Included is a mixed selection of finches, some parakeets and in the
past a few softbill's. The large water bottles you see are dog sized
Lixit water bottles. Sebastian lives in a very temperate part of California
so heat and cold do not affect his outdoor water bottles.

When asked what brand of breeding cage you use? Sebastian
commented; the cheap white cages you buy on eBay. He uses 9 double breeders
for his waterslagers. He devotes about 200 sq.
ft to his breeding room and another 30 sq. ft to his flight area.

Sebastian has been raising canaries
for 25 years and waterslagers for 5 years. He expects to raise 20+ waterslager
this year from 4 males and 6 hens. He also raised 12 rollers and 40
timbrados. He mentioned getting off to a slow start this year and wanted
to raise 30 waterslagers.

Sebastian got started in birds when his father gave him some ornamental pigeons and bantams to raise when he was very young. © 2006 |
