I am looking to expand my knowledge and experience and I have been looking for a copy of this book. It is currently out of print, but I was wondering if there is anyone out there who might have any ideas where I could find one? Or if anyone has extra copies by chance and would be willing to part with one.

Thank you!

Hi, I'm new and I'm Italian, I have a question I would like to know how to breed clearwings or what mutations to mate to have a clearwing as a result. I'm asking for help because I don't know where to start. I attach photos to make you understand the type of clearwing to obtain. Thank you :)

When I recently decided to come back to the hobby the first thing I did was come back to this forum however I was disappointed to see that the number of active members had dropped dramatically and now it can take weeks to have a reply to a topic if you get one at all...

What happened???

Can we fix it?

Maybe if the forum had a corresponding Facebook page or perhaps people could join with standard hotmail type email addresses?

If importation from the UK is allowed again.......

Do you think it will have a positive effect on the hobby?

Is there likely to be any noticable improvement of the quality of birds on the Australian show bench?

Can you keep 2 male budgies together in a cage? If you bring both of them home on the same day, from the same place, do you still have to quarantine one?

What's a good cage brand and size?

In a typical week, what should I feed my budgie?

What type of perches, in your opinion, are best?

How can I effectively tame my first budgie?

If anyone has answers to these questions, or other advice, please reply! Thank you so much!!

This is my first post on this forum, i'm not quite sure if it is even active any more.

I have had a budgie name "Paul" for the last year and a half. When we got him we tried to train him but he just seemed very aggressive. We purchased him from a farmers market (no clue of his age), with his brother and father. We sold his father as he was sick and old and we knew we weren't able to take care of him. About 1 year into owning him his brother passed away due to shock from a storm (was inside, must have been frightened to death  )

We have tried multiple times to train Paul but he just does not like hands in his cage, we tried leaving our hands outside his cage with treats, but he would still fly to the other end of the cage and stay as far away as possible. 

I'm not quite sure if this would play a part in it but he has had mites for the last 4 months, they aren't very big or anything and they don't seem to bother him. We have changed his cage a few times, insuring it is clean with brand new toys, and we are planning on buying mite treatment but we aren't quite sure how we will get it on him as he hates being touched.

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thankyou

My name is Karen and I've never used a Forum before.  Could someone please help me so I can view

the pictures on this forum.  There is just an Icon that comes up that prompts me to go to 

photobucket.com.  When I do that, it says I have to sign up to use this feature which cost me.

Am I doing something wrong.

Please help if you can.

Thanks

Karen
