  1. Here are a few more shots of the new birds Tazzy and Wylie, and a few of my precious Sylvester and Tweety. This is Tazzy. I think you might be right about the sex Lovey. Looks more like a male to me than when I first brought him home. Such a pretty bird. The markings are definately brown. And I am positive that the colour is a violet. What a cutie Wiley is. I'm so excited to have a bird with spots on the necklace. Tweety and Sylvester are moulting. Lots of feather everywhere. Sylvester looks a little shabby. Sylvester and Tweety enjoying a swing.
  2. Looking forward to updated pictures. It is amazing to watch them progress.
  3. I was expecting a yellow and green pied. A real cutie!!!
  4. Pretty bird. It is very hard to tell from the cere. I just got a pied yesterday and I'm still not sure about mine. Yesterday I thought female, but today in a different light I'm thinking male. I would guess male with yours but so hard to tell from those pics.
  5. So glad you got her back home safe and sound!!!!
  6. And a Type I would have white tips on the wings??? Wylie has yellow.
  7. Here are a few more pics of Tazzy and Wylie. I introduced them in "My Flock" last night and have had a few comments on what they might be. Thought I would post a few more pictures here shot at different angles to provide a better look. So far I've had suggestions that Wylie is a yellowface Type I and Type II. Colour - Skyblue or rainbow? Male And Tazzy is a recessive pied. Sex???? And not sure on colouring? To the naked eye the colour looks almost a violet (so pretty). And to me, the wing markings look more brown than black. Does that mean cinnamon? Or is that just normal for a pied? The two cuties together. Any comments appreciated

    It is funny - I was just thinking that I would like to see some pics of Pretty and well here they are. Such a pretty bird.

    I just received my cage from birdcagemart.com yesterday. I'm in Nova Scotia. I have the double sized one. They are huge. NOTE - A little challenging to assemble without decent instructions. Apparently their online shipping calculator doesnt function for international. I was given three payment options and the first was DHL free shipping. But... apparently it was wrong because I got an email saying that shipping should have been about $98. They ended up paying for half. But then I had to pay the courier another $88 for customs, HST, and brokerage when the cage arrived at the house. But the prices of the cage are so reasonable that I wasn't upset about paying those shipping charges. I'm so in love with mine and the birds (I have 2) don't know what to do with all of the space. I'll post some pictures in the cages section on the weekend.
  10. You have the prettiest flock Your pics are great. Looks like you have lots of girls with brown ceres. Do you breed your birds?

    I agree. Awesome picture. I'm looking forward to when they feather too. Keep the pics coming!
  12. I hope your budgie is doing well. It could be the stress of a new environment, but it is best to have him checked by an avian vet for sure. Looking forward to a picture of your budgie.
  13. Very nice. So is the only difference between the lacewing and lutino the wing markings?
  14. Cute budgie - Isis looks so much like my Sylevester. What is she - a dilute yellowface? Very nice. The other budgies are beautiful too.
  15. I think your budgies are male, although a closer picture of the cere would make me more confident saying this. Their cere reminds me of Sylvester's.
  16. I ordered it online from Birdcagemart. They have great prices.
  17. Well Done!!! Such a fun shot! Congrats!
  18. I just ordered a larger - much larger - cage for my two budgies. They won't know what to do with themselves in all that space. I'm really excited about it - lots of room for toys and oh, uhm, maybe a few new budgies. Exterior Dimensions: Width 64¾" Depth 21½" Height 60" Interior Dimensions: Width 64" (32" each side) Depth 21" Height 35" Bar Spacing: ½" Bar Thickness 2½ mm Stand Height 24" Includes: Slide out VERTICAL Divider Removable Tray and Grate Two Long aviary style cups Wood Perches Two Side Breeder Doors I have a huge picture window in my living room. It will be perfect there. Just wondering if anyone has this cage, and how happy (or not) they are with it?

    Would love to see pics of your other babies. He or she is cute.
  20. Poor little things. Thanks for reporting.
  21. Awesome shots. Your bird has beautiful colouring in the wings!! I think flying pics are some of the most exciting.

    I just bought a bigger seed dish and Tweety is using it as a bed. I was a little worried that she might be thinking of it as a nest.

    Cute pics and cute birds. Your Kiwi looks a lot like my mom's baby Emmy. And I think your JJ has similar colouring to my Sylvester!!! I see lots of fun stuff for them around your room - lucky birds!
  24. Thanks! I will do that. I have been talking with the guy at a local independent, and he has been great. I'm sure he can source some for me.
