Instructions: How to Post Images/Pictures Picture/Image Sizes: MUST be 640 x 480 pixels or under. It is understood that not all images can be resized exactly, but if this is the case, you must attempt to get the pixel dimensions down to as close to 640 x 480 as possible. Sizes deemed to large by Administrators or Moderators may be removed from posts or turned into links. On your post the edit line or a staff message will be added to your post if your pictures were turned into links and why. If you repeatedly post oversized pictures a staff member will contact you and assist further. Follow this to upload your photos to the forum for use in any post you make: 1. Join photobucket and click "Join Up - It's free". Fill out what is needed and upload your pictures by logging into your account. It is a very safe and user friendly service. 2. You will need to click on the tab “my albums” followed by the sub-tab “albums & upload” once logged into your account. This page allows you to select where your images are located. In most cases, this will be on your computer. If this is the case, select “my computer” in the grey section entitled “from” on the left side of your screen. Before clicking “choose files” (which is where you will select your images to upload), be sure to select 320x240 pixels (medium) OR 640x480 pixels (large). SIZE is a big issue with photos, so remember to adjust this before uploading any files. 3. To choose the photos you wish to use, click on “choose files” and you will be directed to your computer files. Select the files you want to upload and click “open”. The files will automatically start uploading to Photobucket. If you wish to upload more than one file at a time, you can use the bulk uploader. This link is found just below where you would upload individual files. Photobucket will confirm your upload and ask you to enter image information. Enter this information and click “save and continue”. Your photo(s) are now in Photobucket and can be used on our forums. 4. Your uploaded images are now displayed below the image uploader. If you wish, you may click edit. This will take you to the new edit features. In here, you can crop, change colours and do almost anything to your photo. The most important feature is the RESIZE. Click on this button and enter your dimensions. If you make any changes to your image, click save and either overwrite existing image or save another copy. 5. To go back to the main Photobucket screen, click on "albums & uploads" (top left hand corner) 6. To add photos to your post on our forums, go back to the forum making sure you keep your Photobucket page open. Either start a new topic, or reply to one. When you want to add a picture, simply scroll down to the picture you want to add and click on the IMG code. This will copy it. Then go back to your post and paste it there (either ctrl v, or right click and paste). When you preview your topic or post your topic, your photo should appear and be the correct size. Please ensure your photo is the correct size by right clicking on it in your post and selecting “properties” and check the image dimensions. Ensure the dimensions are close to 640x480 pixels. If not, please remove your newly added code and repeat steps 2-6. If you are still unable to get a correctly sized image into your post, please make a new topic in this forum and staff will help you out. By all means you can use other photo editing programs and hosting services, just remember to always put the IMG code into your posts and replies. For members, it can be annoying when you have to click on numerous links to view members photos, just because they can't be bothered resizing or don't know how. Often members will bypass your post and not even read it because of this. Please try to keep to the size limitations and if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask any of the staff. We are happy to help if you are willing to have a go and follow the rules.

Just looks like a budgie having a BAD HAIR DAY to me :D

Hi BB, There are a lot of breeders in Perth and I can help you there BUT as you are trying to tame Bobbie and want a tame budgie ONE is best..... the minute you have two they will bond to each other and not you.

Suffice to say he or any like him is not from a good genetic pool........best you dont breed from them.

and need cage photos too

Colour of feet is linked to mutation

:D I thought I had got away with it too LOL Thankyou very much

Takes a hawk a split second to strike a cage and impale a bird with its talons. No bird should be outside in a normal cage and you inside.

Photo of aviary and plant ? Would help with any suggestions we may have.

Quite frankly no bird should be outside in a cage without supervision. They cant get far enough back in the cage when a predator reaches through for them, be it cat, rat or predatory bird. At least in an aviary they can fly back far enough from the front of the wire.

I think he's moulting Ray......I dont think he has french moult at all.

I agree with Amy........he is older than 8-9 wks..........more like 5 months or so. Also he seems to have his tail still, so maybe just moulting his flights. OR you said he pulled out his flights .......some birds will do this from stress too. Doesnt look like french moult to me and the age is wrong.

$30 or $35 for pet and $40 or so for show.........depending on where you go

The going rate in most petshops over here us $15 assuming you dont give them too many greens......thats what they mostly pay anyway.

Cool...I look forward to seeing you here .... and your birds are great

a sponginess, swelling or yellowing to the lower belly to vent area. Sometimes a bruising or knottiness under the skin. Otherwise breeding later on will have to be your only way to tell. She may be fine. But hens culled that arent old hens have to have had a reason for culling. Lets hope its just cos they had a better hen

Goodlooking hen, very fat, possible beginnings of scalyface ( so treat for that ). Check her vent and lower belly for signs of possible past history of either prolapse or internal egglaying. Just saying..not making a judgement here but it has to be considered as to why people cull hens. and I hope she comes good in your care and produces for you. Best of luck

and a good "eye" and good judgement with parings

Not your fault Ray.......we have a tendency to trust that things sold for pet toys are safe. Unfortunately they are rarely tested nor do they come under a set of controls or conditions.
