Elly

the cabinent looks great the birds are beautiful, I am so partial to blues and I love them all that you have.

They look great Karen .

A grey bird is a blue based bird with the grey factor so if your green bird is split to blue you may also have a chance of blue babies too and greys.

If he is a cinnamon he would not be a greywing because that would mean he would have grey wings. So he would be a cinnamon spangle. His color is diluted because of the cinnamon gene.

I am so sorry , I seen your other post and replied to it as well.

I am sorry to hear about the loss of your male . I am sure others will come on but if it were me personally I would wait to ensure she is in good health. Do you know why her partner passed? If he was sick she could be sick too and could pass it in to any new bird you put in with her. I would let her rest and make sure again she is not sick herself. Again I am sorry for your loss.

so cute Merlin was listening to him making noises back to him.

What a story he had...hmmm (Laughing out loud). I agree with macka on what he said about the leg ring and such. Lutino girls are more common because they only need 1 ino gene to express the gene. From the pics I can't see the cere very clearly but we do have I believe in the FAQ a way to sex the lutino as the male cere will stay a pink. Congrats .

No one can say for sure I have read others on here where it wasn't a stroke but a lump internally pushing on the nerve by the let causing this affect too. I think at this time if you chose only an x-ray and an avian vet can determine for sure.

I agree they are so entertaining. It is fun when they learn different words and they they mix it all up Pretty did that all the time.

Good for him living up the life and he is a very handsome devil

I agree on that if they haven't firmed up by today you need to seek a 2nd opinion as Bea said.

WOW what a suburb cage!!!

I agree with Nerwen on if it still bothers her. 4 weeks is a long time and budgies heal fast they have too or they die in the wild. I do suggest finding an avian vet to look her over. What happened with your last bird? Was it very sick when it went to the vet?

no you can't but we can be aware how it affects our pets when we get new furniture etc....:hap:

Very very true Kaz...I have read many article about this, it is a reality that people want to ignore.

in the US you can get them sprayed as you said Booms with tephlon for stain resistance the glue is more of what I was thinking about when fumes come to mind too if they used glue.

you are going into your summer us into our winter...today is rainy with mixture of snow brrr..... SO cute yes you needed a camera for sure!!! :hap:

They compliment each other very well, what a beautiful couple :hap:

I would love to see how they molt out because their head should clear up as they start to molt out. They are pretty.

that is why I stay away from all pet stores (Laughing out loud)...because I just can't resist myself and we have a full house right now. They are beautiful congrats. :hap:

all wonderful pictures Kaz I don't know my canaries but I love the yellow/orange one beautiful coloration.

Glad to see he is doing well today. As Kaz said maybe it was the fumes they could have affected him birds have very sensitive respiratory systems so if you paint, recarpet or anything they suggest that you move the bird to a completely different part of the house. You didn't mention any dietary changes or new food that you could have given him if so that could have played an affect but if not I believe as Kaz said it could have been the fumes.

Oh that is wonderful Kaz...way to GO!!!

Hi there I know most of our breeders are sleeping but here is some information on how you can tell if there is a bond. Oh and Norm usually comes on in (my) afternoon (Laughing out loud) so he will probably see and respond since he does have experience too. This is from our FAQ section by Daz Bonds are formed outside the breeding season in the aviaries and once formed they stay together throughout the year. The cock and hen recognise each other visually. There are a number of mate specific behaviours to look for:Mates sit together significantly more often than with non-mates. All males preen more frequently when they are next to their mate. Hens preen more often while sitting next to non-mates. Courtship singing is not a mate specific behaviour, however, the courtship song, is followed by courtship feeding more often when the mate has been addressed in song. Beak touching is the most frequent mate specific behaviour. Begging for food by hens is absolutely mate specific behaviour. Cocks feed their own mate significantly more often than non-mates. The only time that a male is fed by a hen is when he is sick. Hens are inhibited from showing aggression toward a mate. Cocks also show a beak thrust inhibition towards mates. Hens are not inhibited from showing aggressive behaviours toward non-mates. It doesn't really mention how long but when I get a answer from those who are experience I will add to this topic .
