Elly

Do you have a better picture of this one? I am not going with recessive quite yet there is quite a lot of body coloration by the neck. Everything else I agree on with Liv :sadsorry:

The mother looks TCB Opaline but the baby looks like a Yellowface Greywing, if it was a TCB the body would be yellow or white but it looks like a light blue...do you have anymore photos?

:sad: all a matter of opinion :sad: anyways this is a cool poll, good thinking mysixbabies :sad:

Like maisie said I wrote up a pretty long taming article and how I did it with Pretty who was a pet shop bird and pretty offish and wild to me you can review it. No matter what method you find works for you being it what I did or the tunnel method or others patiences is the key and short sessions with rewards at the end like millet or the favorite treat of your birds use this ONLY during training time. Keep us updated. Also birdluv, had started a journal on how she tamed 2 older birds, Claire and Hobbs you probably will want to do a search on the site for that thread and read it through also.

hope you had a lovely holiday and look forward to your updates.

wow that will be story you will look back at an laugh at, glad eveyone is safe.

Have a safe trip home Dave, sounds like it was totally productive with birds, social fun and more :sad:. Sorry to hear about your grey mauve hen :sadsorry:

We will miss yeah...you are very strong lol I don't know if I could do it ...have fun getting organized and together.

Can I ask why you can't take him to the avian vet? Money, one closed, not close enough to where you live? Some times we can avoid a but like everyone said not this time. Keep us updated.

he is very pretty it can be 2 things, too cool themselves or if they are scared but if it is that then their wings are twitching too.

4 months ago, not much sun now though and when there is sun I think it blinds me lol When is the last time you bought yourself a pack of socks?

Yes but no MSG makes me sick Do you like Greek Food?

I agree it looks wonderful, great job.

some budgies are just like that, it is ironic that she is doing the same thing the other one is

They are beautiful, let us know what happens with their health.

that is certainly a nice view

yes this shows anxiety, it is normal

Yep same here, they didn't have school Friday, it is supposed to warm up to 19F lol and more snow to come now. Thank you everyone for this and if anyone else wants to add that would be awesome.

maybe he was in shock from the whole episode and is now coming out of it, keep him warm, watch for any more abnormal behavior and if anything changes go to an avian vet as Neat said we are not qualified to diagnosis. Keep us updated.

No haven't see the movie at all see what I know and I didn't mean any disrespect in any way. I am going to close the thread since it has gone off so much. Kaz, thank you for the information it is very good.

Dave, personally I was not insulted it was another member but as I read it I can see it could have been taken wrongly. Less war and more talk on getting to really know what is going on in each persons situation. The media plays a large part in what they want everyone to "perceive" so if it is the truth or not the general audienc is going to believe it. So what I may have heard about Australian or others may not be true but that is they way the media is perceiving it. I like to think that everyone has a little bit of common sense and realize that everything said about another person, nationality etc...is not the complete truth.

Thank you for letting me know it must have been over the last couple months, she must have taken it down. I will take it out of the FAQ's.

I think in a perfect world that would be wonderful but we all talk different and that needs to be respected also. Even in the U.S. for example the state of Oregon is prounouced in different ways, I remember having a good friend from this state and she said they hated the way the way the eastern part of the U.S. said their states name, it is all in the accent. If I went to New York, I would ask for a pop not a soda (which is what they call it), I couldn't possible know every object they may have a different name for it is impossible. Yes there are many different names for budgies, and yes it is common to see here the English and American Budgie etc...but it is the way some people tell them apart they are not doing to disrespect a nationality in any way. The statement that is being take is personal is Seems to me that on the whole the USA likes to rename things....The budgie or budgerigar is a Parakeet or keet. Do you blame an American for taking that personally? What if I turned around and said you know It seems to me that on a whole that the Australians like to rename things or they like to correct us American's all the time or whatever, what if I changed USA to Japanese or Australia to New Zealanders would then would those nationalities not take offense? Though this statement was not meant as a dig it was interepreted as a dig. What I have learned about interpretation is this, the person may have said it this way but this is the way it was intrepretated and the person who intrepretated is no way wrong because that is what they have heard. I also believe that if any one of us from the US would have said something like this that the AU membership would certainly be upset too.

If there is no male in involved then they won't be fertile. Many times what people will do is let them lay on them until they are sick of them and they abandon them. You can do this if you don't want to chuck them and put fake eggs under them. I know my friend who's birds lay like this and she has personally just lets them go through the process and then they will stop for a while. What does your set up look like? Do you have them in an aviary set-up that you can cover them or it is a large avairy? Many times if you increase the cover time and provide them with 12-14 hrs of cover time (increase darkeness like winter time) then that will throw them out of the wanting to lay.

JB there is a link in the FAQ under Mutation that takes you to Ravengypsy's site she has excellent pictures showing this too if RIP doesn't have pics or time to post right now .
