Great shots!!! :fear I love the preening picture I wish i was there to visit with ya'll (Laughing out loud) Kirb

(Laughing out loud) Lovey... About the mirror... i gave it to her. Tango dones like to see the other bird, she just likes to shew the yellow frame... and occasioanlly looks at her reflections. (Laughing out loud). It up to Lisa, is she wants it in or not, but i dont see Tango being bonded to it... except to chew :bluebudgie: (Laughing out loud)! Yes, im also surprised that she let you rub her Lisa! Thats great non the less! She liked when i would rub on both sides of her head when she was little... but grew out of it FAST (Laughing out loud) . See, already shes warming up to you. She knows you wont hurt her, and shes scared in her new home, and has trust for you already. I bet within the next few days, she will be on your finger, singing like mad, and wanting to come out of her little domain. (Laughing out loud). Also, i would only suggest for you to use millet for trainging... I dont know if you took that 10" peice out, but it woiuld be best to use it as taming reward... :ausb: Best of luck ! ! ! Kirby

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wasnt that one of the names i gave you when you first got her too? :bluebudgie: (Laughing out loud), yea it was :ausb: (Laughing out loud). I love the new name though....suits her well! Thats funny about the Maggie Simpson picture (Laughing out loud) Kirb

ME too Pheobe! Thats GREAT LISA!!! See what i mean? She flights like a wacko at first, but calms down within a few seconds, and is quite calm. She would sit on my finger yesterday, and LOVESSS millet... lil piggy! (Laughing out loud) yes, i got a new bag about a week ago thats gone already, and one like 9", i used it for taming her up for ya a bit, and she was done it within 2 days. Shw would start climbing on my hand if i pulled it away. (Laughing out loud), and yes the mirror. She doesnt like playing with it....until shes right beside it, and is bored. Then she just tilts her head, and stares at herself... (Laughing out loud) . Its adorable to watch isnt it? (Laughing out loud)! How does Ken like her so far, and young daughter whos name i forget at this moment in time? I bet they love her already dont they?... who wouldnt! :bluebudgie: NO ONE!!!! (Laughing out loud) Oh no problem Lisa! Guys, i made her up a sheet in funky green font about info on Tango... such as birthday, parents colours in case they ever want to breed her once she matures and isnt so PMS'ing, (Laughing out loud), her favbourite foods, dilikes ((Laughing out loud) Grapes, dogs, and cats :ausb: ), what she likes doing, favourite toy e.t.c. I just thought it would help you guys get to kno wher better, than testing thisng out on her, and her FREAKing out. (Laughing out loud) The 1st time i put grapes in her cage, beleieve it or not, she had a spazm! She fluttered like a guy in prison for the 1st time! She hated that thing, and freaked out until i realised what she was scared of, and removed it... silly gal (Laughing out loud). So, no problem, and that stuff will help now, and in the long run if you decide to breed her or whatever. ps-Since you guys are so great, ill give you guys a free baby budgie when my guys breed... If you want to drive down again that is (Laughing out loud). Tango woul LOVE a baby male budgie, and she doesnt like older males, she likes the young ones (Laughing out loud). So, ill have yellow faced blues, skyblues, yellow faced recessive pied blue, and possibly yellow recessive pieds within next few months. Its a shame you didnt see my other flock upstairs They are currently moulting, but once we move, and the birds are in condition, im setting up 2 pairs... that you can choose from... that way, it will give you and Tango time to bond for at least 3-5 months So would you like a baby in future in return for being so nice? Its up to you, the invitation is open if/when you want it... Kirby

(Laughing out loud) Lisa... Yes she is understanding! She was even the one to allow me to. She knows how much i loved/love Tango, and she knows how disapointed i am that this all happened :ausb: The conversation actually was like this. My mom said "Since i know you loved Tango, ill buy you a new budgie when she goes, after we move becuase i dont want to move a baby budgie, thats to much stress...". I was like "REALLY!!! Thansk mom! But what if this happens again, which i doubt, i just want to give them some time first...". Then she was like "Yes, which is why im saying not for another 3 weeks... you can start looking, but we both know we should wait a few weeks". Then me "Yea, i dont want to rush them, plus moving the baby to a new house during quaranteen is scary for her, and i also want my birds to have time to relax e.t.c.". Then we just went on about if same happens again, and she said "If anything like this happens again, ill let you setup a 2nd cage for the problem bird, okay? Just one though!"" (Laughing out loud).... So, we are waiting until Early Agust, so around the 5th-10th.... I will keep you posted guys, and yes Lisa, she will calm down, and truely be a female version of Bea's Blinky... with time of course :bluebudgie: Kirby

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I miss her already! (Laughing out loud)... Shes still going to be 'mine' okay Lisa (Laughing out loud), just kidding! Yea, she hates the cover, but inside, she loves it! Did you do what i suggested, and took her out for about an hour? I think it would kelp her tons! Awwww im so happy Lisa! Thanks again, and you are a true life saver to me and my flock! Without you, i would have had to have sold her to some random person in the Newspaper Thanks for the speedy pics and reply, and once again, enjoy 'my' lil gal, she even better when she trusts you... Give her a peice of millet for me, and tell her daddy misses her already (Laughing out loud) ps-i forgot to write on the sheet, but she oves the song 'Life is a Highway' my Tom Cockrane... so if you have it, shell calm down, and probably sing for you .... That is her fav song! Loves the beat, and his voice (Laughing out loud) Bye for now!!! Kirby

Thanks Max, that was very nice of ya! I got one reply back already! What a quick guy he is! (Laughing out loud). Hes got English budgies in green, blue and grey, and has just started breeding for the showing season! The thing is, they are $40 EACH, and i only have American budgies... So i dunno if it would look weird to have 5 American budgies, and 1 big English budgie... (Laughing out loud). I know Nerwen bred his American to an English, and the babies were a perfect size.... So thats whats keeping me wanting an English... Unless i can persuade my mom into letting me get 2 new, then i can breed English to English (Laughing out loud). Will keep ya posted from the breeder, plus the other 11 i eamiled (Laughing out loud). ALSO!!! Lise and Ken (her Hubby) came to get my lil Tango baby today... It was bitter sweet, but they are VERY nice people, that will without a doubt take amazing care of her....So im happy, and i hope they are too! They should be home by now, so ill wait for a progress PM from Lisa to see how Tangos doing so far... (Laughing out loud)... I kinda miss her already She was adorable Kirby

Whoaaa!!!! . . . I just spent over 1 hour, and 45 minutes emailing over 14 budgie breeders in my area My eys, neck, and back hurts from typing, and searching, (Laughing out loud) I found some really good breeders within an hour of me, and they seem GREAT! This one lady breeds yellow faced spangles in her shed that has been converted for her birds.. its 14 feet x 25 feet ! ! ! (Laughing out loud)... with the majority being budgie flights and breeding cages So, i will DEFINATELY keep you guys posted, and LisaChromis is coming today (in 2 hours actually) to get Tango... This is a bitter sweet day . . . Kirb

SHES ADORABLE (Laughing out loud) I love the pics... especilly the 1st one Kirby

WHOA!!!!!!!!!!!!! Shes ABSOLUTELY STUNNING BUBBLES! I loooooove her more now than before Kirby

YAY !!!!! I then Kaz! I love the double factor the most! Kirb

Hey guys... Many of you know about my situation with Tango, who is going to a great home. My mom and i had a talk tonight, and she said i am allowed to get a new bird, as she knows how much i loved Tango, and we are unable to keep her for certain curcumstances... So, ive looked around at a few sites, and found this one: http://www.greatparrots.com/Budgies.html Tame, greatly coloured baby budgies for only $15!!! Isnt that great! They say they are located in South Western Ontario, which is where i am, so i emailed them, to ask where they are located. If they are an hour or less away, i will see what they have via pictures first, then if i like one, ill venture out to get her. Im looking for a female to breed with my 3 males, and Tango was my 6th bird, and 3rd hen, making me have 3 pairs. So, as Tango will be gone tomrrow to LisaChromis [ ] thats the reason im getting a hen, to fill in the last pairing, so ill have 3 pairs again. I will keep you posted, and i hope this works out in the end... Im just very thankful Tango is going to a great loving home, and will live out the rest of her young life being spoiled to death with Lisa and her wonderful family... Kirby

(Laughing out loud) Thanks Celeste! (Laughing out loud) Kirb

Dominant pied green.... Possibly Double factor.....But ive recently been getting confused on Double factor or not from another foum Hes a Dominant pied for sure of some sort though.... and GORGEOUS! How old is he, and whered ya get him? I like the name too Kirb

What a stunner! :ausb: And its amazing how different the camera makes our cage look eh? Mines exact same colour as yours, and it always shows up green in pics (Laughing out loud).... Kirb

WHOA!!! I never would have thought that was Oscar! This picture makes him look paler blue, and VERY old (Laughing out loud) . Hes SOO GORGEOUS THOUGH!! :ausb: And i agree... try wet leaves, or small bath water. If he doesnt like those, mist him with plant mister. Either way, it will help him cool down and make min moult quicker and better Kirb

Guys..i t was dEFINATLY HIM talking! See hsi mouth moving! Notice it was at exact timing. My freind had a budgie who passed away about 4 months ago now, maybe 5, that could sin ght e WHOLE "Baby its cold outside" song.... He knew EVERY WORD, and you could CLEARLY hear him pronounce every word. It was trule incredible! Hes the reason i got so into budgies again, becuase i wanted a male that could talk as good as him... but i lostpatience So in all guys, i KNOW it was him. It wasnt that hard, and you could see him chin moving to exact words :ausb: Hes a gorgeous lil birds, and i love Betty or what ever her name was (Laughing out loud) Kirby

Poor Gherkin and Buzz (R.I.P) This is a question i always think of. Beacuse my Ariel wont go NEAR my other male Kirby in any cage, anywhere in the house She only shows Chico nesting attention, even though they have had 2 or 3 clutches of infertile eggs (Laughing out loud)... But thats just becuase Chico doesnt beleive he has to mount her in order to have real babies (Laughing out loud)... ps-Lin, is that Gherk in you signature? Looks awefully like him! Kirby

hahahhaha! I LOVE having my birds in my room! Just like you Bea, Ive got a zoo! I never knew your fishies were in it... (Laughing out loud), but then i just scrolled up and saw the small betta tank. Right now i have 2 bird cages, and a 15g saltwater fish tank. But if we were talking 5 months ago, i had a 15g saltwater fish tank, a 20g freshwater fish tank, 2 betta tanks, 2 bird cages, and 9 gerbils in 3 different cages. It was like a petshop! (Laughing out loud) and i loved everyminute of it So Bea, i hope you have even more pets with Kali gives fertile eggs, best of luck with that, and im sure they will be fertile! Even if they arent, you still got greous birds, and other animals Kirb

Hey there! Im from Guelph Ontario! Where are you located? Kirby

Oh really.. i didnt read that! Sorry! Aww thats great than Bea! Best of luck! And im sure they will 'perform' (Laughing out loud) Kirby

(Laughing out loud) Bea, i replyed on other forum about this pair! They are gorgeous though, and i love the breeding cage Its summer holidays for us in Canada now. I get 8 weeks off school I just went up to my cottage for 6 days, and now have until Septmeber 5th to relax (Laughing out loud)... Bea, whens your summer? Is it during christmas? or.... Kirby

HAHAHAHAHA GUYS!!! I meant like 16" long! (Laughing out loud).. not wide! (Laughing out loud) Ive heard of that bird before... freaky eh!?!?!? (Laughing out loud) Kirby
