Bird Status

Bird Status in AviMan is used to categorize the current role of a particular bird in your aviary. Allowed values are listed below along with a brief description.

Breeder
The bird is part of your breeding program. It may or may not be set up for breeding at the moment. When you set up a pair in AviMan, only birds with this status will be available for pairing.

Future Breeder
These are young birds being retained and raised as future breeders. They are too young to be paired at the moment. When these birds mature you should change the status to breeder.

Nursery
These are chicks being raised by parents in the nest or being hand raised in the nursery. New chicks are automatically assigned this status. Once the birds are weaned you should change the status to future breeder, for sale, sold etc.

For Sale
These are birds that are meant for sale. When creating invoices only birds with this status will be shown.

Sold
These birds have been sold. Creating an invoice automatically sets the birds status to 'Sold'

Dead
The bird is dead. When setting this status you should also set the date bird died and specify a reason.

Lost
The bird flew away, was stolen or is unaccounted for. When setting this status you should also set the date lost and specify a reason.

Other
This is a wild card status for your own use such as birds on loan, injured birds, etc.
