Our thoughts are with you and sarah. I was talking to a vet and apparently you can by electrolytes to feed to your bird. I'm interested in getting some, due to Saffron giving me heart attacks every now and then, but maybe you should ask your vet if they have any. I think Harrison's bird foods, sell similar products too.

I love the second photo where his bottom is all poofy. hehehe

Awwe the sweeties. Robbie has popped a zit too. hehehe

You can't really see your bird very easily in that cage. plus it looks small

he looks like he has some sort of dilution in him too. Probably a grey wing

I don't need to fold mine at all. I have to use about 4 pieces just to cover my floor. tehe

I like the mini pacifiers, they are pretty. I'll have to buy from there when I get some money that I'm allowed to spend on myself. tee hee

Tell us what you order, cause there are some cool toys there. I bet the budgies and the teils will be happy

Yay looks good. You said the New Zealand bit just for me didn't you? YayWow the pelleted food is really cheap. Quite good prices.I'm sorry, but this site Rocks!!! You can even convert the prices to your currencyI will have to do a big bulk buy on this sometime. :fear

Well usually I open the door and they will all go back in when they are ready, or hungry. Sometimes it is a bit of a mission getting Emmett back in as he isn't fully tame yet. But I end up getting around that, using a long piece of doweling.

Your little grey spangle looks like it could be an opaline. I'm thinking that if you can have lacewings which are ino cinnamons, then you should be able to have a cinnamon double factor spangle.

My budgies have a large rope swing toy and they love it.

He's now lost his two longest tail feathers and has turned into a duck butt!!!

Those are awesome aviaries. I would love to have one.

Bea, you need to give us all photography lessons

"I can't read the paper while you are sitting on it. Get out of the bowl so I can turn the page!" "Must... find.. sports... section. Must.. find results for.. Canada vs Australia budgie ball.." "You know you're an alcoholic when you can read the floor" "If you can read this floor, you are too close: you have drunk too much" "One tequila, two tequila, three tequila, floor!!!" Wow I'm on a roll "Another one bites the dust"

females in breeding condition do develop lumpy ceres. However it could also be scaley face. Could you post a picture, so that we can judge it properly. :ausb:

Yes I think so. :ausb:

Yep that's fine. Welcome to the site, :ausb:

Arkady "popped a zit" the other day ie his pin feather broke and bled. He was fine, just had a little red dot on his hed.

Yeah, I had just done a major budgie clean out on Saturday too. I spent 7 hours cleaning out all the perches and wiping down the cage bars and the wall :ausb: and now I have to clean it again. I think she put it off until after I had cleaned it.

Today I went shopping for food and decided to get my budgies some seed and iodine bells. I bought some budgie mix and canary seed to mix into it. Any way I got home and as I was unpacking what I bought from the supermarket. I hold up the iodine bells to show my budgies the new nibbley things that I had bought for them. Then I noticed all this blood on the cage bars. A little worried, I look closer and find a large puddle of blood on the little shelf I made for Saffy. Then I see more blood covering the cage bars and a huge amount on the perch. I automatically think "Oh no Saffy, what have you done this time" She usually snaps blood feathers and do little blood squirts around the cage but not this much!!! So I'm frantically trying to find her, and you know how sometimes it can be particularly hard to find a budgie in a big cage, with lots of other budgies. Finally I find her slightly huddled on a corner perch creating a new blood puddle. I automatically whisk her up and out of the cage to inspect her. I initially thought it was a blood feather as she had blood all over her tail and some on her wings, but then I see her feet and they are covered in blood. She got some on her face too (probably caused she scratched her face or something). After inspecting what I suspect to be the site of injury, I took her into the bath room and ran her a nice warm bath in the sink. I sat her on the side of the basin, while I waited for the water to warm up. She had perked up heaps and promptly fell into the water and got a wet head. So i put her into the bath tub, while I waited for the sink water to warm up. Finally it did and I put her in it and tried to wash her feet. I eventually managed to do so and I think all the blood came from either what looked to be a cut on her foot, or a broken nail (her nail looked quite short). She wasn't too keen on the water bath. Once she was all clean, I took her back to my room. I decided that if she has lost a lot of blood the last thing she wants to be is wet and cold. So I turned on the hair dryer and set it on the lowest possible settings and blow dried her. She LOVED the hairdryer. She would turn around to get it on the best side and she just adored it. I didn't have to hold her, she just sat there. She had such a look of pure bliss on her face. And when she had enough she just jumped off my chair and went back to the cage. So I gave the budgies some egg and biscuit food, with some pellets and a good dolloping of spinach and hopefully that should help build her blood and iron levels up a again. Anyway she seems pretty good now. It was only later that I found MORE blood on the floor, it was from before, but I hadn't seen it. It is like she was connected to the mains budgie blood supply or something, because I don't know how she fitted that all in her. Emmett is being a good boyfriend and looking after her and smooching and preening and feeding and cuddling her.

They are gorgeous.

Well Robbie was so cute this evening. I was playing with him and he started to go all flirty and bobbed his head and everything. Then he thought my hand looked hungry so he fed it. Then he went off and started to woo girls, but he would always come back to me to kiss my hand. He especially loves wrestling my hand it makes him so happy. He is so cute.
