If you mean the BRASEA auction, I have my eye on a bird in that auction too............if it doesnt go too high $$$

This cutie grew a little and today won Reserve Best Adult in Show at our club Championship Show

Welcome Joan and Ray

Well the eggs went into a greywing to greywing nest so once eggs hatch and babies feather up I will know if any made it or not.

Not really. He phoned me about a bird of his I may be interested in

This is all to be found in our nutrition forum area. BUT it must be said that what to feed breeding birds should NOT be something you ask once you have begun..........its all about preparation for breeding and a good and varied diet should be well established and part of normal diet and routine well before you begin to breed a bird. They need to be in peak condition and that involves the best of health and on the best diet months before you put them down to breed. What to feed them while breeding should not be something you ask about once you have already put them down to breed. They should already be eating the best of everything and for months in advance. A kindie cage should be a playground for baby budgies. With various perches, swings and ladders. They should not be put in a kindie cage until they can eat on their own and not need parental feeding. They should be low shallow dishes on the floor of the cage filled with seed. Vegioes like sweetcorn, grated carrot, finesliced dark greens like bok choy, spinach etc, sprinkled with budgies seed. There should be many places they can eat and drink. Sometimes they need a warm lamp on the cage. They should not be caged outside in draughts or with access to their cage by mice or hassled by predators to worry them like dogs and cats, and rodents. What should you put in the aviary ? are you colony breeding or not ? refresh my memory:) When asking questions like this provide as much info as YOU can so we can advise to suit

You will have to wait till you are rich and famous Ratzy......it isnt all down to Mum and Dad and you wont be living at home forever either

Hen got out of the nest last night when the first chick hatched....chick dead this morning. All eggs cold. Moved three eggs to another nest in case they will make it.

I was talking with Henry George by phone this morning. He phoned me, so I just thought I would bump this topic up so others who havent seen Henry setup could take a look.

Winter and breeding they will eat you out of house and home

fingers crossed mate Nothing worse than trying to soar like an eagles when the rooster has you by the ball and chain

Cold yes....but also seems like they may have run out of food. The thing is they eat heaps more in winter in order to keep warm through the night....you simply must keep more seed than you think you will need........a whole packet or a whole bag in advance of your needs so you NEVER RUN OUT. Put it in the freezer if you have to and forget its there till you run out and even then have an extra bag or pack in advance. When I run down to 20 kilos of seed I buy another 80 kilos. I dont wait till I am down to the scrapings of the seed drum. Winter they eat twice as much. Remember that.

Yes What a nice surprise

Two greywings gifted to me and sent yesterday by a breeder in South Australia and my dilute baby in nest and out of nest

Majority says male............squeak says female.

Hope so Shannon. There's quite a few more pairs but I havent had time to take piks of them

Will do Dave

How's he going? Any improvement? No. Not as yet ....

read in my signature on how to post pictures...its a link. You need to host them on photobucket or something like it.

Looks like he once had an issue

Very hard to assess an invisible bird. Please post pictures. and please do not use shortcut language like U instead of you etc as it has to be edited.
