You can now subscribe to our email list to get the most up to date information delivered to your email inbox.

We will send you updates when we have new articles available, plus a couple of updates on some of the newest developments on the site. (Your email address will always be kept private and confidential, and we will not bombard you with too many emails.)

Additionally, we will use the email list as a kind of “waiting list” for new birds, so our email subscribers will always be the first to know.

So to get started, all you need to do is go to our Newsletter Subscription Page and fill out the form!

We have just found out that the contact form was not working properly and was not sending emails to us. It is now working as it should, but it could have been a couple of weeks off the air.

If you have tried to email us in the last couple of weeks, it would be well worth trying to submit again. If you had an urgent enquiry, we apologise for the inconvenience.

Blame our dodgy Webmaster.

Ken has been working on his photos, and has been testing the best way to present them. The final product is a print on high quality photo paper in a variety of sizes and framing options.

The photos are available in the following sizes:

• 6 inch by 4 inch
• 8″ X 6″
• 12″ X 8″ (A4 print size)

The framing options are:

• Print only (unframed)
• Carded and backed.
• Carded, Backed and Framed (Hardwood frame with a glass front)

All photos are of birds taken at Broken Head Aviaries. The photos are beautifully presented and would make a great present (especially just before Christmas!!).

A lot of people often ask when I am going to put new photos on the website, so I have finally gotten around to it.

Check out the following links for the first sets of photos.

• Diamond Finch Photos
• Gouldian Photos
• Painted Finch Photos

Hope you enjoy. I will be adding more detail at a later date.

Anyway, as things warm up and the birds look a little better, I will be taking a lot more photos for the website. The birds for sale section is a little light on at the moment, but with a bit of work with my camera in the studio you should get a better idea of the birds I have for sale.

Just thought that I would tell you about the editing software that I use. I have Adobe Photoshop, but it is quite expensive and not for everybody. In fact it is my sons, as he uses it for his web design work. But I am looking at Google Picasa at the moment, which you can find from the link below. It is free, and a small download, so it should do what you want to get the photos trimmed up for the web. I will look in to it more and give you a review.

It is amazing how quickly the finches respond to the fresh brush and nesting material

Quite a few nests have already been built, and birds are sitting. The first aviaries that I did several weeks ago have birds already feeding young.

Its a good time now as the hot weather should be just about behind us and here at Broken Head, we have quite a mild winter. Rarely do the aviary temperatures fall below 10 degrees C.

All looks good for the breeding season, which will go right through to the end of Spring.

I have given an explanation of what I have done in my article on Aviary Rebrushing.

Things will be added and cleaned up slowly, and I hope you find everything interesting.
