Now Apple and umm Apple I thought i told you you couldnt go and visit aunty Lin untill you had eaten ALL your vegetables Its good to see them coming along SOOOOOOOOOOO CUTE

:(Laughing out loud): Lovey, Blinks always has a poofy head.. i think its a trick he learnt from his loyal human slave .. Bea he is such a little sweetheart

I love budgies that get that nice evil look in their eyes its always the ones that have the white iris that look evil but still loveable

:(Laughing out loud): Cool pictures Bea, I would have to say the safety glasses one is my favourite picture. THREE CHEERS FOR BEAAAAAAAAAA!! :beer:

Kiwi is a little darling, just wondering what type of Budgie is she? one of my little bubs in the aviary looks just like her and was wondering what you call this colouring

A few years back when i bought my aviary for the back yard, it said to either scrub the aviary wire in a vinegar solution or to let it just weather for 4 months, I just sorta let mine weather (for about 3 years :(Laughing out loud): ) because i had no birds to put into it.. And the wire i used for my smaller cage is the same mesh as on my main aviary and i scrubbed it with vinegar, i've seen no ill effects from doing this.

can i have him?

What a silly little sausage

WHOHOOOO GREAT JOB! looking good and the birds will love it..

Its only used as a spare at the moment, Apple was only in it while we waited for his new fancy cage with playgym on the bottom to come in the mail :grbud: but the short time he was in there he LOVED IT

Little Guy .. Hugs Caren..

Make sure you are taking lottsa photos to post when its all done

:fear Ausmoz, I had actually bought those U shaped nails to use also but the ones i got were too thick to nail in and almost split the wood. The wire I used was the heaviest i could find as its what i used to make the large bird aviary in the garden with aswell and wanted to make sure it was a little Hawk proof.. its if i remember correctly 1.1 mm gauge wire and the squares are 12.2mm. (Gal Mesh).. Cant wait to see some pictures of your creation :fear And Lin the floor is only Ply Wood but i actually line it with newspaper when its in use which makes it really easy to clean.. 1 minute and its all done Cheers :beer: Una

Just incase anyone else wanted to know, i copied the PM that i sent in reply (Laughing out loud) ( I learnt to copy to my sent folder this time Lin ) Heya (Laughing out loud) yeah you did post it twice but its all cool, made me even feel popular for a brief moment .. The cage we made that Apple got use of was actually made in a huge hurry one morning and was designed for the breeding pair i had in the aviary to go into, but budgies being typically cheeky, they had decided to sort out their differences and work things out by the time i had made it.. Thats how Apple ended up in it for a short time until his new cage arrived, now its a spare just incase.. The wire was a bugger to attatch as it was only JUST wide enough to fit across the front and back (i wanted to make it in one piece so it looked neat) and really my only option was to use a few nails to hold the wire tight and then i went around every third wire or so with nails but bending over the ends to hold it in place. Hmmm i'm not sure if even i understand that, hang on ill go and see if i can go get a picture (Laughing out loud) .... thank goodness for digital cams .. This is how i attatched the wire not the best looking job in the world but hey it does the job This is just to show that it was only made with the very basic of wood working skills (Oh as im previewing this before i send it ive noticed the Gecko on the window in the photo too (Laughing out loud)) And this is to show that it doesn't really look all that bad from a distance hehee Hope this helped you out maybe just a little and i might try and post this PM in the forums just incase anyone else wondered too. Cheers and good luck with it Una :ausb:

:ausb: Gotta love that bird

(Laughing out loud) Lin, Its making me wonder if the pied male hasnt got a little something to do with Munchkin, since the green dad broke the first two eggs, Munchkins egg was the next one to be layed and obviously the first to hatch, and he has the Blue on him where as the other two babies in the clutch are green and yellow in colourings just like the mum and dad

Thanks for that Bea, I had forgotten all that i had wrote (Laughing out loud)..

Here is a picture of Mum and Dad.. Mum is the lighter one. Also the little pied male was showing her quite alot of affection which led the green male to smash 2 of the first eggs she layed . Both males have looked after her the whole time, both feeding her etc... Is it possible that the little pied male could be father to some and the green male, father to the rest? :ausb: Cheers :beer: Una

Well Lin maybe if Bea still has the PM she could post it.. although it was a whole heap of not alot of much :(Laughing out loud):

Bea, any improvements made in an aviary is a GREAT improvement, the birds will love you for it Let us know how it all goes though, maybe get that brother of yours to take some "action" photos of you in the process of construction

Yup got ya PM Bea and I hope i might have helped a little (Laughing out loud) but yeah im all for N A T U R A L so id skip getting the wood from the hardware store and get out the handsaw (save ya pennies for another toy for Blinks, Like that bracelet you got him that time).. Sisal is what i use to tie it all together.. Hope you understood what i meant from the PM Bea and if you dont get what im on about (Laughing out loud) just send me another PM Cheers :beer: Una

:fear Those snow pea sprouts go down a treat dont they. They are Apples and my youngest daughters favourite

heheeee i love the sleepy little look he has in the first picture well his charms have won Apple over

He is such a sweet little baby, he has taken to laying on his side while he is on my lap, letting me rub his belly, chin, head and back until he is asleep, catch is...He has to be holding my finger while i'm doing it :ausb: ... Almost Asleep Nighty Night little Munchkin
