**KAZ**

She has had this name for a long time. thus named because in the nest you can do anything with her...pick her up anbd move her and she just flops and is like handling a beanbag

We get them on our products table at our meetings but they can be bought on ebay too http://cgi.ebay.com/BIRD-FEEDERS-NEW-AUSTR...3#ht_1558wt_911

Yeah

Rained hard all night. I had better go and deal with any that came in

Me too

I know I'm not a show breeder, but to me, this guy really stands out! It's almost like he has a huge fur coat draped over him. Would that be considered "good feather"? I don't see what you guys call "directional feathers" above his cere, and I'm not sure how you would describe his mask and spotting, but over all, wouldn't this be one of those ones that you get excited over, and look forward to seeing how he moults out? Maybe someone could do a critique of his fine points, for those of us interested in learning? This is directional feather bad line drawing by me, but maybe you get it . So far the wing markings arent all that crisp and refined, but the dads are like that too. Has a good mask and spots still a baby so we will see how it turns out.

That is very kind of you Macka. Barneys Mum I would take him up on that offer if I was you

NO Shannon. If you read what I say above..........its for racehorses. Try a stockfeed place that sells products for horses and livestock.

what is whey protein kaz just asking looking for good protein for my budgies The one I use is this one http://www.horsesuppliesdirect.com.au/prod2776.htm Its a whey protein isolate and contains around 76% protein. Whey protein isolate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whey_protein Its a product for racehorses but I use it for my budgies. It makes a big difference when I use it both in the soft food and as a powder form in finger drawers for parents in breeder cages.

Not rolled oats.....whole oats or hulled oats

not you silly.. the computer, i tried to copy it and when it comes up in my folder it appears as a squished line?? i think there must be some prottection on your photobucket pics that doesnt let people copy them? weird..............

Sounds pretty normal for the average budgie to me. But in winter they seem to burn through their food to keep them warm. I add extra oats and sunflower during winter and give them more seed than normal.

I have never said you couldnt have the picture for your desktop background...........go for it Your swing looks great

Its another blue greywing....................

The babies are in the kindie cage with some others except the greywing still in the nest with his mother who is laying again. and, although these photos dont show it the chick does have violet feathers going on after all. The feathers are showing what looks like sky violet as we have two tones happening but as usual when photographing blues and violets they dont show like they are in " real life"

You cant use treated wood. My perching end of the aviary is dowelling. I just did the natural wood so it was a change of wood diameter and also made the area more playful and attractive to them

Yeah I got it from the bush and its more natural than the perching they have up the other end

From a Jan Mc Mahon dom pied hen ( Chidel/Gearing ) and a Splat cobalt blue cock.

Nice pikkie

A Little Bit of rain and the birds go nuts......they all headed down the popout end to bathe and preen in the fresh raindrops those that werent in the rain decided it was a great time to eat.
