WOW .. I WAS RIGHTTTTTTTTT heheee *slightly over excited as it doesnt happen to often* So Docca do you know where they actually come from rather than just appearing in the seed? and Lin they just fairly well lay low in the seed and you wont even notice they are there untill you go digging for them Cheers :beer: Una

Oh she looks amazing .. Beautiful pictures

What Beautiful little bubbies.. Although im rather taken with the Daddy Cant wait to see some more pictures of them all Karen, so sweet...

Does this make them get urges to breed?

Hmm i'm thinking that someone either needs to take a video, or get someone to take some snap shots of this whole process. I haven't put rings on my birds but a few that i bought had them already on. I had absolutely no idea how they went on and i was picturing that they sorta got crimped on (loosely) I hadn't realized that while they are small they just slip up and over the toes..

Sorry not trying to sound morbid in asking but ... What happens thats bad when and if trying to attempt helping a baby out of its shell? Not that im saying for anyone to do it, I was just wondering on what your experiance was Nerwen?

Hope all goes to plan for you Lin, the babies are terribly cute to play with so i cant blame you for wanting to try them and see how they go inside

Pure Sweetness

A fair while ago i had an old bag of birdseed that got left outside and went yucky sorta, it sat for ages and moisture had gotten into the bag.. The top of it had sprouted over time and gone hard but the bottom was wet, smelly etc etc.. as i lifted it to move it i discovered it was FULL of these HUGE grub thingys. they looked like meal worms (i have sometimes bought tins to feed to my lizard) but i have no idea how they actually got in there to begin with but they were obviously feeding on the bird seed as they were HUGEEEE (the lizard liked them) .. some places i've seen selling live ones online recommend keeping them in bran as they eat the bran and its good for them to tunnel through Cheers :beer: Una

i use to have quail at the bottom of the aviary but they were too agressive and quite a few killed each other so i gave them away to a friend with an even bigger aviary

Great pictures. I'm loving the *Poof* and wave photos also Mr Molly is such a sweet heart For some reason i've never really liked teils (sp?) i think i was mostly making this judgement on looks (must have only seen exceptionally ugly birds) (Laughing out loud) but I'm beginning to think I'm missing out on something quite special.. Cheers :beer: Una

Sorry to hear of your loss, and he was a charming little prince. I cant help you with the Genetics of your bird but just wanted to say hello, sorry for your loss and i cant wait to meet your new little one Cheers :beer: Una

The hen i have out in the aviary (the only one thats breeding so far) is on another clutch of eggs, i feel that she pushed the other babies out early (about 4 weeks) so she could have the next batch, the day the last chick left the nest, she had her first egg .. i just hope she takes a little time out after this lot before she has anymore

Try not to stress out too much.. *Hugs*

seems ill have to keep my ears open then so how long from mating till the first egg? 9 to 10 days?

The whole ring thing mystifys me and i have no idea where you would stick the toothpick but thought id add GREAT JOb Daz (once you get them to actually stay on) Cheers :beer: Una

Glad to hear everything is Okay with the little guy In the Budgie Pictures Forum there is a great link on how to post your pictures, and even some links to programs to help you do it.. Looking forward to seeing some pictures soon (hopefully) Cheers :beer: Una

Umm okay time for a stoopid question What noises exactly are you listening out for? do they trill a little different or something? (Laughing out loud) just asking so i can listen out for the birds in the aviary Cheers :beer: Una

I looked back and found this link of little Paco and the other budgies with their clear nesting box.. just thought id post the link to show you, just scroll down the page a little bit. http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?showtopic=7146 I thought it was pretty nifty that you could see into the box, i think thats why i remembered the post. Welcome to the forum.. Cheers :beer: Una

How sweet, I also love the third picture. They look the best of mates..

:(Laughing out loud): :(Laughing out loud): Heheee.. oh i couldnt let that slip past.. The mother is once again sitting on a clutch of 5 eggs, she layed the first one the day the last baby left the nesting box (atleast she is keen) and with this clutch she has had both of the same males at her again, so i have no idea what ill end up with this time

PHEWWWW glad i wasnt the only one looking at the little chicken leggies heheee Beatutiful pictures, you must be glad to finally have them both together.. Cheers :beer: Una

OMGOLLY GOSH.. What a pretty bird Hercules is Id love to see soem more images of him. The rest of your flock look rather cute also. Puc is the spitting image of my breeding Hen hehee .. Cheers :beer: Una
