:hap: But you have to admit he makes a cute weeny midget

Other than Apples really baby, Baby photos.. he seems to still look the same (Laughing out loud) He was a scruff then, and he's a scruff now, even his size and overall shape hasn't changed :hap: ..

Aww Bea i can see the little black markings on his beak Its soooo sad when these disappear. Though id add a snap of Apple when he was a little tyke If only i knew then what i know now :hap: (kidding)

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOoo Glad I haven't had to go through any of this with Apple.. Being handraised, hes been trusting from an early age.. AND BOY AM I GLAD :hap: Hes unclipped also, I think hes rather lucky.. considering I live in the tropics, id rather sit here in the scorching heat with all ceiling fans off just so that he can be free flighted (don't worry hes kept cool) Cheers :beer: Una

I had been thinking this myself, I think thats why i haven't used it yet.. It just didn't feel right, Besides i wouldn't give my children something i wasn't sure on so i'm not going to risk it with my feathered kids

AWWWWWWWW what a cutieeeeeeee

Yeah terri i think i will do that, since ive got a little wait before the bubs get big enough so its safe to do.. I dont think the vet comes to town again untill the middle of Febuary, ill try and get an appointment then.. Cheers :beer: Una

hahaaa now theres a plan.. why on earth didnt i think of that Must be the worms getting to me :hap:

heheee Apples a sure candidate to get them from me (Laughing out loud) The Wormer i have at the moment (and never used) is called Worm-Rid Broad spectrum wormer for Ornamental Cage Birds.. some chicky in a pet shop sold it too me.. The stoopid bottle doesnt tell me what ages its safe for : .. Sigh so I guess ill have to wait a few more months yet

My aviary birds havent been wormed for a little while because a hen has been nesting. When will it be safe for me to reworm them? after reading that article, it makes me want to run out and do it right now yuck yuck yuck yuck Cheers :beer: Una

Im sure she has gone to a loving home and will be looked after lovingly.. Its fairly amazing to me that someone other than us in these forums (Laughing out loud) would have chose her over the "fit and healthy" budgies, Who ever it was that bought her must love her alot also.. Shes a lucky little thing

Oh what a good idea indeed Whohoooo No more seed up my nose, in my eyes or hair anymore.. I never was good at the blowing out the dish thing Cheers :beer: Una

(Laughing out loud) I simply cant imagine a dog with only two legs :(Laughing out loud): I have a little bird that was given to me by a Breeder that has two splayed legs, at first it took her ages to negotiate her way about the aviary, she spent her time resting in the seed dish or ontop of the nesting boxes. I made a few "landing platforms" about the place for her but she never used them, it was only me that was thinking "awww poor lil birdie" while she was already getting on with life and wasn't even aware that she was different from the others. Once she found her way about the place and worked out what perches she could land on, she was happy. Just like the little bird in the pet shop i'm sure s/he has worked out a way to deal with his little problem and is as happy as the rest of the birds.. Cheers :beer: Una

Great pictures Samlorson, The last picture in particular shows the difference really well.. What beautiful birds you have. Cheers :beer: Una

Ewwww.... What is the cause of scaly face anyway? Glad shes better now

My husband learnt the hard way with this.. it was his best little mate too RIP LITTLE CHARLIE -We still love you heaps..

No Problem Vonn, The only symptom my bird had was his gasping for air (like a little yawn over and over again) and he would almost be on his tippy toes while doing it, with neck stretched out as far as it could go.. Obviously after doing this for a little while he got lethargic, but otherwise seemed fine.. Do keep it in the back of your mind and ask the vet to check it out.. Make sure you let us know how your little fella is going and what the vet has said.. Cheers :beer: Una

Did I hear you say BATHTIME? If you want this to happen, you better hand over the camera..... OH YOUR KIDDING.. Is this all i get to bath in?? I can here a tap drippinggggggggggg HEAVEN!! hehee He is such a cheeky lil monkey :hap: Cheers :beer: Una

I love his litttle poofy hairdo :sad: Look at the look hes giving you (Laughing out loud)... Mate I think you have been BUSTED! :sad:

Hello What a beautiful little budgie I'm loving the last picture you posted of him His little wing will grow back with time.. LUCKILY :ausb: When i read the title of this topic "New Bird WITHOUT Wing" I was thinking ..Oh my gosh :fear how can a bird NOt have a wing?? (Laughing out loud) its an understatement to say i was relieved to see he did infact have two wings Cheers :beer: Una

Hello Vonn, Just reading your post about your Budgie panting, I had this with one of my birds a few years ago and it was infact mites in his air sacks, he was doing exactly as you are explaining and had to go on a course of antibiotics, if its left untreated it only gets worse.. the bird starts to pant as its not getting enough air into its sacks because the space is being taken up with the mites.. sounds yucky but antibiotics cleared it up.. Just thought id share Cheers :beer: Una

:hap: Lin your guess is as good as mine he was mid a very enthusiastic preening session. Terri I tryed to go take a peek at the link you posted but it wasn't coming up for me, i will do a search on them a little later Thank you for the information Cheers :beer: Una

Does anyone use or know anyone that uses a Budgie Harness? I have seen these about quite a bit while doing my online searches but id still be terrified they will still escape Cheers :beer: Una

I know nothing about croup except for babies get it (Laughing out loud) .. but since both my girls never did I KNOW NOTHING

My youngest daughters name is Milly (Amylia is her full name but we just call her Milly) so she has this obsession with Millipedes .. they don't go so great in pillow cases, but she still try's (Laughing out loud)
