Didn't realize you had them already not a problem mate, Anne aka Rainbow has all females and they are awesome she said . It will probably take them a couple weeks, I would let the kids talk to them but not put their hands around them just yet, I suggest you be the one to work with them in the beginning for taming purposes but first let them settle in. I wrote up an article in the FAQ section about taming if you would like to get some ideas there.

Well Neat said it well, I would be fuming too let me tell you have had a share of my own issues with my son and I do take charge with it. I can't believe after over 1 year they haven't said anything to you that would **** me off the most.

I agree always get boys in pairs just because of the egg laying issues that female budgies are known to have.

Deep Breathes......BREATHE...everything will be okay....

Afraid so and I was doing so good Reeses' Cups Did you take a shower today

Here is a video that was sent to me it may be disturbing for some but it is very descriptive. Though it was 7 years later, I can remember what I was doing when this happen. A simply terrible event, please keep these families in your prayers today.

AWESOME!

Gorgeous, you can resize and submit for Budgie of the Month

watery is not good but make sure that is white and black that indicates she is drinking and eating and take a sample to the vet with you.

Yes Do you collect dolls?

Hi Luke, welcome to the forums, look forward to seeing pics of your flock here is the link on how to post pictures from our Welcome Center in the FAQ CLICK HERE

See can't keep it straight

this topic is running parallel with his other topic...too I am thinking that she may be in breeding condition per the Budgie Mood topic...

it could also explain the big poos....watch out for eggs and eggbum

That is awesome news about getting the dad to stop plucking....how about a blow up budgie for Merlin, you flat packet and we blow it up :hap: okay too much coffee this morning, I need to behave.

That is awesome Jenene, I am so envious of all those with aviary, our fall is coming and the snow will be flying soon, need to move to a warm weather state :hap:

I can't wait to see pictures, your flock is gorgeous, I am still awaiting my friend for Merlin in the "flat" package, I check the mail everyday heheh :hap:

excellent, I would keep her warm for another week and make sure everything is back to normal.

:hap: no popping out of a compost pile that would be :hap:

sounds like you are her mate and she is looking to nest, keep an eye and make sure she is not finding places to nest and produced eggs. Keep us updatd on the vet.

AV, you do what you think is best in this situation. You have spent a lot of time and money trying to work it all out. It would have been different if you just threw her into the fire with the rest without care and consideration. Keep us updated.

They are very beautiful, love the pied reminds me of Pretty but more english faced of course. You didn't mention quarantine but I assume they are in it but I like to throw it out for new members who read these posts that all new incoming birds must always be quarantined for 30 days away from the existing flock to watch for any signs of illness etc..

SW that is awesome, I tried the pellet thing but 1 thing I learned about Merlin it doesn't matter how hungry he is he did go on strike, will give him veggies with seed on top today and see what happens, I remember I did this the other way around to get him to eat veggies...I can't figure him out.
