Bank manager says to put in an offer so thats the stage we are at As far as the two heads goes Nubs...........I grew up in Geraldton and I lived in Tassie for ten years too later in life. I am used to that Meeting with the town planner Monday and real estate agent after that.

How old are your birds ? Do you know their background or history ? What colour are their ceres ? Do you have a breeding cage ? How big is the cage and what style ? Where will you set them up for breeding ? Prior to breeding have you established many many months of good and varied diet including vegies ? ***Note of advice.......dont ask pet stores for any advice and never be prepared to believe what they tell you

Wont be 30 days if it still has down feathers....has to be younger.

Well if its the only chick and you are sure its fully feathered and past 4-5 weeks of age.............remove the nestbox. make sure there is food and water at ground level. Is it warm weather where you are or freezing nights ? If cold that changes all advice I just gave you. If cold weather............you have nothing to lose by putting them both in a cage together and having food at ground level in the cage for the chick. Observe closely.

Its never a fall.............they glide at that age. Kindie cages are used for breeding cage to kindie cage before out into an aviary. You may not need a kindie cage

Yes

The original owner of the images wasnt happy they were posted here without permission. They had to be removed.

The yellow bird could possibly be a double factor dominant pied. Are there any iris rings ? A double factor dominant pied can have an iris ring on one eye and not the other.

S 76 is bought at our club meetings on the products table

Changing them into a new cage might result in no feeding for the baby. You need to find out if he is being fed now anyway. How about you put some budgie seed into the nestbox now so he learns to eat. Read this http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....showtopic=22446

Excellent choice

After I did my birdroom slab and erected the birdroom on top............I was told I should have done it differently due to water getting in. The idea is to put a shed on a foundation and then add the internal floor so its a higher level than the shed footings. Water doesnt run uphill. Thats exactly why when I did the new aviaries I had the exterior on footings and the floor at a higher level. As far as the whirlbird goes, thats what I was getting at about being able to shut it down over winter. Re my birdroom being on the same level as my slab............once I filled the undulations of the colourbond with cement, and tiled the birdroom there was no more leaks.

Sounds very nice. Might be like this ? Fine for around 6-8 budgies that arent breeding Boys get along very well together

Did you feel to see if she had an egg down below ? Did she have a poopy bottom ? Was she thin ?

Hi and welcome We have a few here from Adelaide and South Australia

I could be wrong but that cut or tear looks like it happened somehow in the egg or upon hatching and may not have been noticed once hatched. Infection would have already happened if this is the case. If it happened in the nest there would be evidence of fresh blood/ bleeding. I dont think the Dad is at fault. I dont think a Dad stepping on a baby would do that anyway as parents step all over the babies and the babies cope with it. Best not to change a nestbox drastically once there is chicks in it.

Sticking point is.........if the house takes up too much of the block and its zoned R25 then they only allow building up to 50% of the block. Some bugs to iron out still re adding garage and aviaries. Town planner is on holidays

Its been a struggle as Ken has changed his mind back and forth every day since I posted this. We went for another visit on Saturday and the famous Cec Gearing came in his capacity as a builder to check it out for us Ken seems to have decided today to try for the house. We have the go ahead financially. I have also been told by the local glazier they would be happy for me to do all their leadlight repair work. Now all we have to do in work out some finer details and put in an offer.

Love this light green spangle! Is it a cock bird? Yes

I am not sure

The lone mother is doing okay others

Your chicks are really very very nice Amy

I asked some top breeders the other day about your babies. Got some interesting info. Another breeder was having losses just like you. Autopsy revealed Giardia............... http://www.exoticpetvet.net/avian/giardia.html further tests revealed it had come from the town water source out of the taps
