  1. Sorry Chrysocome - I mucked something up when I was trying to post.thank you everyone for your replies.I will move Fitz into a different room in the evening. Even though he is well covered, there's still a lot of light and activity going on. That could be the problem. Thanks again.
  2. Looking through the topics on moulting I cannot see anywhere that specifies how often (that is, time between moults) is considered normal. My Fitz had his first moult in late Feb/March and has now been moulting again for the last two weeks. He otherwise seems quite happy and healthy! Any advice appreciated.
  3. :rofl: I am just so happy to report that Fitz is doing great. I really didn't expect him to be around the next morning but he was 100% then and hasn't had any problem since! Thanks all for your advice. Don't know what it was, but had a happy ending. Happy New Year to all!
  4. sorry -having trouble with mouse. No, he doesn't seem to be puffed up and since I covered him he stopped squeaking for a while but just started again
  5. Tonight I noticed that Fitz is making a small squeaking sound and seems to be breathing heavily. I have covered his cage with a fairly heavy, dark cloth. I often read advice about leaving a lamp on a sick bird. The only lamp I have is a halogen one and I can feel it giving out some heat. Wouldn't this keep a bird from sleeping and would that be detrimental? Not sure what to do. He has been eating, but seems a lot quieter than usual.
  6. 31. When you sit reading posts on BBC instead of packing for a trip in the morning. 32. When you check that the bird has enough food before you leave for said trip, before you wonder if husband has some food in house, too.
  7. I guess you can just do what you can, when you can and hopefully educate people as you go - even if only one person at a time
  8. budgie care away link very helpful, but slightly confused about 2 things: a. why is lettuce harmful? b. Some members give celery LEAVES to their birds, but why is the celery stalk itself is not suitable?
  9. When I hosed cage, some colour ran off a newly purchased toy, (orange, red, yellow and green wooden balls interspersed with plastic discs). Hubby said that it was probably a food colouring but wondered if maybe it was something not quite so safe. Purchased from a major chain store, but not much info on the packaging. Of course, I should have taken it out of cage first, but then it had to be washed at some stage, even by hand. Any suggestions, please?
  10. :rofl: what great pictures - really answers the question. Just had to call my husband in to see these photos and like maesie, my bird won't be getting beetroot either - at least not while he's inside!!!
  11. Welcome - you will find this such a great site! Loads of information and friendly help...
  12. lovely pictures and beautiful birds!
  13. How do you aviary birds cope with the sudden and unseasonable change?
