Beautiful birds - I love them all. Your budgies are sweet.

Great find. Always nice to get a good deal on something.

Sorry to hear it Kirby! I wonder if there may be a problem between the two of them. Do you have another male you can put with her?

He is a very handsome boy!!!

Oh, Ember is really pretty... er should I say handsome!!!

I'm not looking forward to that behaviour. Agh!!!

OH MY!!! I didn't realize about the blood. Yikes. Wonder if she'll have any more?

I looked at shelters when after I got my first two, but none had any birds. So it was to the petstore for me. But I think it would be wonderful if you could make a home for her. She is pretty and looks young.

Well I had Romeo and Jewel in the bathroom tonight for some taming time. Of course I had the camera. The pics are mostly of them just being pretty. They are such beautiful birds!!! Romeo looking so sweet (and baby) here. And a little more grown up here. Jewel looks like she is smiling at me here. She is strikingly beautiful. :hap: :ausb: Hanging out on the cage. And oh look - on my fingers! Yeah!!!

I'm not really sure. I hope some of the experienced breeders can answer that for you? Could it be a fat pad? My overwieght budgie has a fat pad near her vent. It is getting a little smaller as she loses weight.

Do you think there is any spangle in the wings Nerwen?

I'm going to try the fruit kabob idea. Mine don't bother too much with fruit so far but they may go for a kabob assortment.

I'm so glad to hear that. Often these spca visits cause a bandaid solution and then the owners revert back to their old ways. I really hope this guy has learned.

You are right - mine is the 24 inch one I think. Didn't even look at the sizes in her link. I'm also spoiled with my big 64 inch cage so the 24 inch seems so small to me now. The 24 inch doesn't allow room for flight just hovering.

I have this cage and it really isn't that big - I'd say 2 budgies max. I use it for my quarantine cage and I'll use it as a breeding cage in the future. It doesn't really allow for flight because there are only two 3 options for placing the perch - almost on floor, almost on roof, and near middle.

My Tweety had a bad moult about a month ago. She lost lots of feathers and she looked terrible - especially around her eyes. She now has them all back and looks beautful!!! She was clipped so didn't really affect her flying.

There are so many poor animals/birds/reptiles that are poorly treated. It is sad!! Sometimes I think I'd rather not know because it is so upsetting. I'm glad this little one is coming to you for care.

Forgot about that. Thanks Nerwen.

Can't wait to hear what the experts say this combo would produce. I'm going to guess that you would get all Spangles for sure unless your hen is split for spangle, then you would get more double factors??? I think some (maybe all) would be pied spangles???

My birds love the homemade toys - here is Sylvester having a go. They especially love chewing the straws.

Definately the lighter pics. He sounds wonderful!!!

He's seems like a wonderful little budgie. I'm enjoying all the pics and I'm jealous of how tame he is already!!!!

My birds love the homemade toys I make using cheap dollar store stuff better than any of the expensive toys. Anything with cut up straws of all things, is always a big hit.

I love it when they hang from the top of cages, do somersaults, etc. He's a cutie!

I definately enjoyed them all. I love number 7. How did you get him to lie in your hand if he isn't tame? Cool!!!
