Kirby

I have their 2nd egg as of 10 minutes ago!!! :D Looks good! Both good shape, and white ... not beige unlike Ariels eggs Kirby

(Laughing out loud) thanks guys Here they are: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/pet...31/MVC-026F.jpg None are pieds... both normals, Kirbys yellow face, Belle isn't...(Laughing out loud) Oh shoot almost forgot! They have 2nd egg as of today!!! Kirby

Yay Nerwen!!! So Belles egg was 'born' Sept 1st... so mine are only 2 days older! Belles supose to have 2nd today... YAY!!! This is fabulous! Our babies will be same age about, and nearly same colour! I cant wait to watch them grow old together And my egg looks EXACTLY like Tooties (same colour size e.t.c.) and that makes me happy becuase hers will be fertile, and hopefully that means Belles are too as i saw them mate sucessfully! Ariels eggs were brownish (all infertile) so im glad even the eggs look the same (Laughing out loud) Keep us posted mate! Kirb

Hmm... so is there a possiblity of ino... and pied? I doubt ill get any, but it would be gorgeous if i did have some unusual ones Kirby

Yuppers.... :( Im dreading it! Kirb

Milo and Tango Toby and Tango Aero and Tango Nemo and Tango Tango and Clyde Archie and Tango Louey and Tango Newbie and Tango ( for your daughter) Tango and Blue Ya Lisa youve really got me stumped (Laughing out loud) Kirby

Hey guys As you know Kirby (yf) and Belle (skyblue) have started a family I know ill get yellow face blues, cobalt normals, and possibly skyblue normals.. right? (Laughing out loud) Is there chance of ino, or recessive pied babies? I do NOT know either of their parents as they are pet shop birdies... but i keep seeing a pair of birds on another forum who arent ino but they have ino babies... and it makes me think Then i heard recessive pieds can be produced from two normals if split (which i dont know if my birds parents are?) so i guess ill just have to wait right? Thanks . . . Kirby

Like it vanished? (Laughing out loud) Or... Is plain whole weat bread then? Without milk? Kirby

Hey guys My pair had 1st egg yesterday, and i remember a while back ive heard bred soaked in milk is good for breeding hens, and babies... Is it? Thanks... Kirby

Its now noon... and the eggs about 19 hours old...(Laughing out loud) Shes been great so far... On egg all night, being fed by Kirb, and overall im thrilled... Egg still looks good, and shes kept it in the concave. 2nd egg tomrrow . . .Then Tuesday i start school again I was just off for 9 weeks for summer holidays, and now here i go again, 10 months of work Anyways, baby birdies will keep me motivated and make time go by fast Kirby

(Laughing out loud) How abou Azul (means ocean), but that DEFINATELY doesnt go with Tango (Laughing out loud)... Oscar did sound good with her name tough What about... Nick? (Laughing out loud).. i have no clue, you drained me of all my names above.. ive got no name-power left (Laughing out loud) Kirb

How Fabulous! Thanks mate! Yes, ive been told to calm down, and be patient by freinds *Cough Karen cough* I get pretty excited when it comes to pets... a perfect example is me gettin excited how big my birds poop is Since that means eggs are on their way and then wee lil babies Belles doing great! In nest all night keeping eggy warm Kirbys been chattering away, and they mated agian Belle went out of nest box when i took the pictures, and was watching me from the perch. Kirby jumped right on her back, totally suprising Belle, yet she still bent over and allowed him to mate I love these guys... Im not going to keep one of these i dont think, even though i bet when fledged ill change my mind.. But i dont have a lot more room (room for another 1 bird, MAYBE 2 MAX) and i want to keep a yellow face spangle when Oscar and Emma breed next July... Kirby

Thanks Dazza! Theres no doubgt i would sto her.. shes doing great and the only reason i was worried is becuase i thoguth she was eggbound... thanksfully she isnt :D Yuupers.. 1st clutch, and its Kirby's too. They mated SOOOO MANY time that i saw little own the ones i didnt All the ones i saw were 2000% successfull! You dont think im counting? Daz! You obvioulsdy dont know me well enough! I started counting the minute i saw them mate when shed have eggs, little own the day ill have babies agian! My last baby i had was 6 years ago! So im SOOOOOOOOOOOO THRILLED at this news of good matings and nice eggs Then if something happens Ariel will be the foster mummy... Ariels very sweet, calm, and a want-to-be mom so bad she lays infertile eggs Then Chico Ariels hubby is the sweetest, gentlest, caring, male pet ive ever seen.. that feed her non stop...Perfect candidate for foster . . . Thanks again Daz, you seem to be one of the main people whom i can count on Besides Karen, Nerwen, Shawna, Riebie, Bea, Lisachromis, and others!!! Kirby

(Laughing out loud) good idea Nerwen I feel terrible still! Shs 11 months old, and i miss caluclated becuase before i thought got her a month before i acually did... therefore shes be 4 weeks youngr than i thought. Shes in GREAT condition though, iris ring, brown crusty cere (could be browner, but still fits the definition of breeding colour) GORGEOUS PERFECT plumage, and the same goes with Kirby. Shes very grown up, and acts very grown up aswell... Her and Kirby are in it together, and they are even more in love than Chico and Ariel. Belle allows Kirb in her beak range every minutes whether he preens her eyelashes, helps her preen her tail, sitson the egg, feed her constantly when not even in breeding cage, and much more. Thats the thing aswell about my other pair. I candled Ariels eggs lastnight, and all are infertile again... Whic was expected so im not going to try them again... they will be my 'in love but no baby' pair. Im letting her have her eggs still becuase if something goes wrong with Belle (either abandons the eggs, doesnt fed babies, or attacks babies even) ill foster out to Ariel who will take AMAZING care of them. Ariel would even foster a Macaw baby thats how much she wants them (Laughing out loud). All my birds are fed great foods, vitamins, and have great big clean cages so they are more than happy. I cannot wait for the babies to hatch ou in 18 days Here are new pics i just took... (The egg looks brown compared to the carefresh bedding, but in real life its BRIGHT white...) http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/pet...e2/MVC-007F.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/pet...e2/MVC-008F.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/pet...e2/MVC-012F.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/pet...e2/MVC-015F.jpg http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e104/pet...e2/MVC-017F.jpg Kirby

Well for the past 4 days ive been telling many of you "tonight Belle will have 1st egg..." but nothing happens... I then though oh my god!!! I miss caluclatd and Belle is only 11 months old!!!!!! I feel like the worst owner ever! I totally miscounted And i cant beleive i did that! I found out becuase when her egg wasnt appearing, i was starting to question her age. I thougth she was eggbound as her vent has been throbbing the past 2 days, and i didnt see an egg. Her poops got VERY big last night, but then i noticed this morning they are tini again... I told my mom and we were going to book avian vet to come check her out (family freind and gives me free, but most of the time discounts on checkups)... So, then i just went into nest box and theres a lil bright white egg in the corner! I was soooo happy and excited and amazed and felt wayy better that she delivered it well! The thing is i didnt know if shed know to lay egg in the box, so lastnight i added 8 carefresh (the white version... for those who dont know its toilet paper like material squished up and used for rodents as its scent free and warm)... So i added 8 peices last night to hopefully think "Hey ill lay it here"... So then when i looked in the box this morning, i didnt see any eggs, but then when i just went and checked again, and a lil egg was in the corner with the carefresh bedding.. so it was camoflaudged! Its brigth white and DEFINATELY fertile compared to Ariels... Belles been in the box like a good new mummy, and Kirbys been in it aswell preenign and singing to her! So, the journey finally begins! And ill keep you posted ps- When the egg was in the corner, i didnt think that was to good so since Belle was outside the box on the perch, i went to put hand in the put it in the concave... and Belle lounged and went to attack me.. so i took out my hand and tilted the box so the eggn would go in the concave. It worked, and Belle found it, and is currently on the egg, in the concave, with Kirby in the box singing quietly... So.. needless to say shes going to be a VERY protective mother burdie, which is good that she is keeping them safe, but bad becuase Belle hates me even if not breeding, and when shes got babies and ill want to play with them, im going to need stitches one day (Laughing out loud) Kirby

Yay Nerwen!!! Our babies will be growing up at same time Belle will be having egg today... hopefully. I keep saying "today is the day"... but i looked at her vent this morning, and its very big, and throbbing (as in ready for egg to come out).. Kirby is 16 months old, and Belle is 12 months old. She had a HUGE poop lastnight (was 1" wide) so i was surprised to see no egg in box this morning Shes been fet lots of calcium (cuttlebone, and LOVESSSS HER IODONE BLOCK)... gets grass, lettuce, carrots daily since i got her about a year ago, and both Kirby and Belle are in prime condition. So needless to say im very excited to have our babies being around same growth period. And they will be about same colours (im expecting yellow face blyes, and normal blues).. Im excited, and were wishing the best of luck to you Kirby
