Hi Jenny. I just use my hand, I do try to coach them into a smaller cage to make it easier. I get most from local pet stores, R&D birds Bristol, Ponderosa Cheltenham. And any other store in come across which have birds. Also when their is a local bird auction. Search on Facebook.

Hi mate. All home made. Making some new cages out of the indoor flight over the next few weeks. So keep tuned. Thanks for the question.

@@theblackbirdshedbewdley2333 very impressive. The frames look almost built into the wall!

Cock birds are in there now, I'll add the hens shortly, using a partition and having it open a cm or so. This way I can see if they are fond of each other. They are in the avairy at the moment. I think they are ready now, as they can see the boys and look interested. I'll monitor any fighting, but normally it's OK. I'll put nesting material in and see if they both carry. Then nest pans are added, and normally a nest is build within 2 days. I try to time all the clutches together in case I have to swap any eggs. Thanks for the question. Good luck
