K, so my case is special then?!?!...(Laughing out loud) So what do you suggest nerwen for my curcumstances? They have been together alone in the bigger cage with the nest box for two days now, and they have only feed eachother once that i saw (for about 20 seconds), they sing A LOT to eachother, Ariel has been in the next box A LOT, her cere is starting to turn brown and crusty again, Chico is in his prime (VERY NEW, nice bright coloured feathers and nice pink cere...hes a recessve pied so his cere should be pink, (Laughing out loud)), and they are both good condition excpt Ariels cere is currently beige and not yet choclate brown. I really want babies, so im going to leave them alone together with the nest box, and see what happens. Is it common for the female to chase the male? Cuz Ariel chases him, but he only goes after her if she flies away from him like into the next box and then *** stick his head in the hole and sing more!!...HAHAHA.. Anyone?!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!!?!?!?!?....i want babies!!!!!...(Laughing out loud) Kirby

Shawna.....How and when does the website birdcagemart.com tell you h ow much the total is when you buy a cage off of them? I am looking into this: http://www.birdcagemart.com/Flight_and_Avi..._Iron_Cage.html And i was just wondering how much shipping would be to Guelph Ontario? I do NOT want to get stuck with unexpected charges like you did:(....So can you help me not get charged?...(Laughing out loud). Like....what taxes did they charge you? 15%, or 8%, or 7%???, How long it it take to ship it? Why did u get paid such a large amount of charges? And any other things i should be cuatious about before i buy the avviary pictured above in my link?.... That would be G R E A T ! ! ! ! ! ....thx! Kirby

(Laughing out loud)...good luck Shawna!!!!!!...they would create wonderful babies!!!! Hows the new babies (Wylie and Taz) and how does everyone like their new H U G E cage?....(Laughing out loud) So, the 'U' shape is only when the birds are very bonded? My pair never liked eachother until today, and she did the 'U' already to him but he didnt mount?...they never feed eachother, never preen eachother, and to be honest, today is the first day they seem to like eachother EVER!!!...Chico is 4, Ariel is 2 *i think around these ages...i lost track now* Kirby

Breeding Behaviour/colours?
Oh..okay thx Nerwen! sry sorry to double post, i just put it in the wrong topic area last time, and i didnt know how to move it....thx thanks though! So, you think ALL females will be opaline?or all females in general even if they are recessives, or cobalts? And what are the specfic colours i can get?.....Could i get these colours? -yellow faced blue type II(Chicos dad was one) -Normal green (yellow faced blue is almost like a normal) -lutino or alibino (the birds are mostly white or yellow) -Skyeblues or normal white faced blues (white or yellow faced) -And sorry you said possibly violets???..how do i know if the hen carries both violet genes? thx thanks ...i just hope they breed...(Laughing out loud) Kirby Moderator’s Message to user please becareful of short cuts.

Breeding Behaviour/colours?
Hey guys! I have just written this down in my post under cages, but what do you think of theh fallwoing?: In Guelph, it is EXTREMELY sunny outside today, which is fantastic! And my brids think so too! My male Chico who is a yellow faced opaline recessive pied type II has never been interested in hens! Yet today, he all of a sudden has fallen in love with my white recessive VIOLET pied hen!!!....i just also noticed all her 'blue' markings, are in deed a very rich, nice, bright purple AKA violet colour!!!!!!!!.....So she chases him around the cage, then he runs away. When she flies back to the nest box, he chases her, sings to her, and she digs around in the wood shavings! She jumps out, chases him, then finally stops chasing him...then all of a sudden, SHE RAISED HER TAIL UP FOR LIKE 30 SECONDS and then like 5 other times aswell!!!!.....he did nto do anything, but im not expecting him to mount her on the 1st day that hes actually showed interst in her! So, whos thinks im going to have babies in spring???...I SURE DOO!!!!....They have been flirting ALL morning from like 8am-now which is 2:33pm in Ontario....im getting a headache!...LMAO! ps-what colour of babies would they create??? Chicos mom Angel was a skyblue recessive pied, and his dad Buddy was a yellow faced blue type II !!! They were both split to opaline since chico and his siblings were all heavily opalined, and he has every colour imagionable on him except grey! I baught Ariel at a pet store, but she has cinnamon wing colors, and several nice violet markings on her belly, tail, and in between her wings on her back!?!?!??!!?!!?....anyone? thx Kirby :ausb: Anyone?!?!?!?..what do you think of this behaviour and what colours do you guys think will/might be created by my two beauties??? ps-Chico and Ariel are still flirting, and it is now 4:55pm...HAHAH Kirby

Good Cage?
k guys....thx lovey, i REALLY like that link + prices for such good quality! 4 cages for only $79.99 Aerican! I live in Canada as you know, so i need to find out how much shipping would be to my house..(Laughing out loud). If its under $150.00 for theose cages shipped to my house, im going to get them!!!.....i e-mailed the store (Desmons Pet Depot), on shipping to Canada, so im waiting to get the e-mail back then ill let ya know what the scoop is !!!....im excited as hec!..(Laughing out loud). My young hen (is like 4months old now) just when into the breeding position to her girlfreind!!!...eraly enough, AND the thing is they are both females! I have 2 males and two females, and i want the one male Kirby (yellow faced blue type I) to breed with my cinnamon skyblue recessive pied this spring! Then my 4 month old hen next year (the 4 month old is a skyblue). My other male is 3 or 4 now, i breed him when i was like 8, but hes not interested in females anymore, only the male Kirby (i have two pairs..(Laughing out loud), of same sexes!!!..hahahahah) So i want mroe cages to divide them up into PROPER pairs, and expect babies! ...(Laughing out loud)...so long story short, i want my gay pairs to turn straight, and breed in this new cages i *might* get if i can get them for under $150 shipped to my house which should be realistic since their only $79.99..(Laughing out loud)... ps-all this talk of ponies makes me wanna go see my old shetlands or ride my Banner and Aries now!..(Laughing out loud) Buddy heres the cage: http://demsondpetdepot.com/Merchant2/merch...tegory_Code=BAC Im talking about....

Good Cage?
ps-smilyl...is that your shetland pony?...i had 4, but donated them to a special needs riding centre (forget name now...oops!) where the kids can love them even more than i did (i sold my precious breeding birds to make enough money to b uy them them when i was 8 cuz they were neglected and needed a good home ASAP, and i raised them to better health....so trust me, i was in love with them)....Now i have 2 swedish warmbloods, Aries and Banner...then my other pets (to many to name)...(Laughing out loud) Buddy So you think 3 smaller cages..as to one big one?....

K...have narrowed it down to: http://birdcages4less.com/Merchant2/mercha...d_Cages/PA5723s http://birdcages4less.com/Merchant2/mercha...rd_Cages/PA5739 http://www.birdcagemart.com/Flight_and_Avi...ron_Cage_1.html What does everyone else like best?...what should i go with?...For four present budgies...and more on the way....??? (i like 1st one, but i was going to build my own aviary, it will look like the 3rd one.... but if i baught the 3rd one and just built my own wooden breeding cages then, the birds can fly in big cage, then when i wanna breed them, they can go into home made breeding wooden cages....)...does that make sense..(Laughing out loud) Buddy

Good Cage?
The bar spacing is perfect for canaries, finches, conures, lovebirds, cockatiels, and cockatoos!!!.....so no matter what bird i have over the years, they can live in this!!!...i love it! But i have just went on the site zebra mentioned birdcages4less.com) and they have amazing prices too!!!...PLUS free shipping!!!....so i gotta check out the prices and cages...i want a divider one so i can breed seperately, or house another type of bird like a cockatiel beside my budgies cuz i want a cockatile sooo badly!!!..(Laughing out loud) thx Buddy

B R E E D I N G H E L P ! ! !
k thx guys... Yes, i DEFINATELY quarnteened Belle..for like 35 days i think..then let her in with other guys for a while.. Then moved her back alone to tame her better. I just put Chico in with her to let Kirby and Ariel to bond better. Belle is doing so0o0o GREAT! Even though Chico's in with her, she still steps up on my finger..and they had their first flying time outside of the cage together today..(Laughing out loud), of course they stayed on the curtain rod all the time..(Laughing out loud). As for breeding, no i will NOT be colony breeding. I will move the selected pair into the cage that Kirby and Ariel are in now, so that they can spend time alone, while others are off in the aviary playing e.t.c. I know it sounded like i wanted to colony breed, but i was refering to when i have just Kirby and Ariel in the future aviary i will give plenty of boxes for her to choose...and yes, i KNOW she likes the wood and kleenex in her box cuz when she emtpies it out, she flies to the bottom of the cage, and play with them, and even started to shed up the twigs, and put them back into the box..weird eh..(Laughing out loud) ps-Kirbys flirting with Ariel as we speak!!!..YAYAYAYAY!!!! thx Buddy UPDATE: 22/02/06 Chico and Ariel have paired up! I am sooooooooooooo excited man! They are: -Chico is a: yellow faced type II skyblue recessive pied...(about 3 or 4) -Ariel is a: cinnamon violet white recessive pied...(one and a half, twoish) Ariel has done the "U" shape with her arched back NUMEROUS times now, btu Chico is still a bit nervous. I have noticed that he gets closer and closer to her when she does it, and he 'tickles'her back with his beak. (While her back is arched, he sing to her, and head bobs her back, looks like he tickling her..(Laughing out loud)). He feeds her A LOT mo than before (ne never use to..hahha) and ive seem them feeding eachother about 5 times, PLUS RIGHT NOW...AS WE SPEAK!!!...YAY!..(Laughing out loud). They do NOT preen eachother yet, but he sure does sing a lot to her. Are my pair getting ready to start a family now?, or are they tricking me?... Now, she is in the nest box, and he is sticking his head in the hole singing to her....is that a good sign?....Im going to get the cage eterris is getting off of windycityparrot.com...the cage part is 32" tall, 21" wide, and 32" long, and with the stand its 59" overall. They will have A LOT of room to have babies in it hopefully!!!....and i cant wait to order it! So, are these all good signs?...i just dont know why they dont preen eachother...yet she still wants him to mount her a lot..?..(Laughing out loud) thx Kirby
