Elly

very cool, I am sure I missed it what will you do with the other ones or are those allowed in an outside aviary?

You have received good advice, welcome to the forum.

All my toys are tied up or higher so they don't get poo'd on, also you can weave millet through the balls and food they make good enrichment toys.

great progress

Don't forget it is a single factor and a double factor gene so if the bird is a double factor your % is 100% that all the chicks in the nest will have the added factor but only 50% if it is a single factor.

Congrats very nice looking birds

very sorry to hear this, it does happen so fast at times

I was a dog bather and groomer as my first job it was fun , hard work too keeps your arms strong. I really like the 2nd pooch very cute.

If he is a albino with red eyes his cere as a boy would stay pink as a girl it would go to a light tan, dark tan or very light blue.

they are adorable maise

I agree it looks mauve not cobalt Nice birds you picked up , congrats

Glad to see you back , your birds are lovely as always!!!

Always a good thing to start saving and put it into an account for the future

awe that is good news and sad news but I bet the other 2 will be okay just give them time to adjust, it seems that adult birds are sometimes more skittish of baby birds, it is like that in the dog world too I notice they have a different smell or something about them.

Yes Do you like salsa and chips?

he is a handsome budgie, thank you for updating us

I also think just like our own digestive systems everyone is different so his body may have to adjust to the change more then hers, just keep an eye on them and any behavior changes.

how fun, where are the American's from? You know we all have different accents depending on where in the U.S. we live

very nice, thank you for sharing

how lucky they are to find you , she will be so excited, and he is adorable

So cute, this means he is feeling comfortable in his surroundings .

I wish I could but I am across the world, when it rains it pours, I am so sorry

Now that you have announced it to the general membership, I would like to start a post and let you know how much you are appreciated and want to thank you for everything over the last 3 years since I have been on BBC. I know you are not leaving but simply stepping down as ADMIN but you have made a great impact on this forum. Thank you for everything!!!!

Yes Do you like limes?

I agree with Liv. I am actually thinking that this bird is a female with the issues and not a male, do you have a picture of the sick bird. I had 2 males and though another male will advance they never have full sex plus is this is accurate that would not create a swollen bum. You also need to get this bird to an avian vet.
