breeding or not breeding always feed a bird a well rounded diet nothing give back more to our bodies then nature's own minerals and vitamins

snap a picture of it now and when you are in the process of doing it so members can give you advise during the process and visually see it would help too .

some coat hanger wire can rust so be careful with that idea unless it is coated wire, that is my view on that great ideas MB .

Yes

good luck Deb, so they probably think it is related to a thyroid issue? I think that is what they do for people who have hypothryoidism is they need more iodine in their diet.

Parakeets live in many diverse habitats and are found throughout Australia, Asia, tropical and subtropic regions of Africa, Central and South America. Australia has over 30 species of parakeet including: Budgerigar, Cockatiel (described in the Cockatiel section), Bourke's Parakeet, Princess of Wales, Red-rumped Parakeet, Stanley Parakeet, Mulga Parakeet, Scarlet-chested Parakeet, Red-winged Parakeet, Turquoise Parakeet, Blue-winged Parakeet, Red-capped Parakeet, Elegant Parakeet, Superb Parakeet, Regent Parakeet, Mallee Ringneck Parakeet, Port Lincoln Parakeet, Australian King Parakeet, and five of the six species of the Rosellas including the Pennant's Parakeet (Crimson Rosella), Golden-manteled Rosella (Eastern Rosella), and the Pale-headed Rosella, . Asian parakeets include the Derbyan Parakeet, Indian Ringneck Parakeet, Mustached Parakeet, Rose-ringed Parakeet, and the Plum-headed Parakeet. New Zealand has 2 species including the Yellow-fronted Parakeet. Central and South American parakeets (whose colorings are not quite as intense as the Australian parakeets) include: the Quaker or Monk Parakeet, Barred Parakeet, Canary-winged Parakeet, Grey-cheeked Parakeet, Orange-chinned Parakeet, Tui Parakeet, and conures such as the Mitred Conure and the Nanday Conure (see them under the Conure section). http://animal-world.com/encyclo/birds/para...keetProfile.htm So I would ask her what type of parakeet

budgies are a species of parakeets, ask her what type of parakeet because there are different species, she probably is not lying.

Well, I will have to pass but it sure sounds fun and if we were a lot closer we would come .

are you sure they where not talking about Lovebirds mutations?

vey nice

Absolutely Did you have a good 2008?

Yes, with all the replies that he makes that are not revelant why not (just joking) love you JB Do you think Jimmy is nuts ?

I am going to stick my neck out and say if it says "bird safe" and it is made for a bird then it is safe, I had the same thing happen and Merlin is okay.

Good luck!! :28: PS...Santa says no comments just voting, if you have questions pm his elf Elly

There are really cool toys at the pet stores, Wal-Mart and really any store, I would stay away from those with shiny objects such as bells and no mirrors, but the toys balls are the best the budgies love them, preening toys are wonderful too though some people worry because of the material, I haven't had an issue, a new cuttlebone, millet, treat sticks, a new perch or swing so many different options to think about. I hope that helps.

I agree, I remember when Nerwen made that for you, she is very talented indeed. thanks for sharing.

so cool

Wonderful to have you back, I saw that you came back but I wanted to give your space . Your budgies are gorgeous as you already know that, thank you for sharing and coming back

Welcome back girl, we missed you

Yes, I noticed it is lol, on last weeks post, to me I really don't care they are budgies

You can also freeze this safely yes? So it last even longer.

exactly, you explained it better then I, thank you

:ratty: This site gets so personal and members get to know each other so well sometimes other's can see that like the wink's and such so you are right Dave emotions are so useful since we can't see it in the words

good news, I hope he is okay , as I don't breed on can't comment on the color in that terms other then possible mutation difference.
