  1. to see a gorgeous sunset. I closed my eyes and ____________________
  2. Thanks for the update. Sorry for your losses and I hope you have it all under control now. Can't wait for the pics and maybe some video of your little talkers :oliveb:
  3. I know Phoebe. They grow up so quickly. She is a brilliant flyer. And I'm handling her daily to try and keep her tame. She is such a wonderful little bird.
  4. Precious moved into her new home yesterday. She seems to like it. And she got a new roomy too- Kito. They seem to be getting along well and she seems to be enjoying her new abode - no crys for mom or dad. I splurged and got her the new Vision L2 cage. . I still need to add more toys and a few additional perches.

    I look forward to seeing pics of your budgies. This is a great forum.
  6. Well hello there says baby 2 - he's such a pretty blue! I'm such a pretty little girl - I think I'll be a bit darker than my mommy. Baby 1 We're just so cute. You should see us waddle around. Babies 3 & 4 I may be the youngest but I'm super cute too you know! We just love hanging out together! Mom didn't even have to tell us to line up like this! Aren't we adorable!
  7. What kind of snake is that? Ugh! We only get little garter snakes here in Nova Scotia. I hate snakes.

    I missed your pics so much Homer. They are the best!!! I hope you are feeling better.
  11. That's really interesting Daz. Are you going to try it?

    I hope you have a great turnout Daz! Congrats on finishing the aviary.
  13. Here is baby 3 today.
  14. Thanks for this info Karen. I have been giving them vitamin enriched premium seed, veggies daily, crushed boiled eggs, and ancient grain bread but no vitamin drops. They also have millet a few times a week and lots of cuttle bones and mineral blocks. I'll pick some vitamin supplement up tomorrow. Not sure if we can get calvicet though. I don't know if the nest is any muckier as this is my first multi chick clutch. Precious' nest was quite clean but it was only her.
  15. This is baby 1 today. It is 19 days old. This was Precious at 19 days.
  16. I posgted some pics of Star and Wylie's babies yesterday and Nerwen mentioned that babies might be being plucked. I had thought it stranged that the bubs weren't covered in fluff yet, but figured it wasn't the right time. I went back and looked at Precious at the same age (and younger) and she is covered was covered in fluff. I'm wondering if it is plucking or if they have feather problems (ie- french moult). If it is plucking what would you recommend. Should I take the bubs away from their mom? Both mom and dad go in the cage but she spends the most time in there. Could the babies be plucking each other. Could it be from them constantly crawling all over each other. I'll do some research but would love to hear from members about how they have dealt with this if it has been an issue? Thanks Shawna I did find this link that says it is not unusual for mom's to pluck the down. http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/breeding/pluck.html
  17. We miss you Pretty.

  19. Merlin looks beautiful. I'm sure he is missing his buddy. I hope you all doing okay.
  20. Oh Karen... so cute. Are you breeding your pet budgies anymore. I love the masks on most of these guys!!!!
  21. Yes, Kirby. Longer video next time!!!
  22. Great pics. Hurley looks like a YFmauve. I have one just like him - they start out more mauve but moult to that olive colour.
  23. And here he is with Precious. He really loves these budgies.
  24. I love picture 9 too. They are all great. The bubs look great Kirby. You will miss them when they go. And I love Tobie for a name. Good choice.
