It isnt hard at all :yellowhead: if you already know the answer :thankyou:

Probably a better reply there :thankyou: :yellowhead: :glare:

Bird netting is available from the hardware stores or stockfeed places....large enough to cover trees. You can rig it up around an aviary to be enough nuisance value to a hawk.

No Jap millet in your current mix Kaz?!!!!! Jap millet is the smaller more shrivelled looking millet in the Golden Cob mix. I've been using Golden Fields seed for the last 10 years and have found a HUGE variety in the mix. When we had a local seed shortage over here, they stopped putting in the Jap millet - THE most important seed for amino acids, and the quantities of canary and white millet change every now and again. The last "quality" batch of seed I got had some canary seed, LOTS of Jap millet, no white millet and WHOLE OATS!!!! I rang and asked what was going on and was told that the workers must have stuffed up the seed mixing - WELL YEAH! It's supposed to be a standard mix of 50% canary, 25% white millet and 25% jap millet....... Since tackling them on it, the bags I have bought have been good - pays to check on them every now and then. Most local mixes, Golden Fields and Triangle Seed mixes are made from local seed. To bring in seed from the east means that it has to be heat treated to kill any nasty visitors coming in with the seed. That's why, when Golden Cob was available over here it was generally more expensive than local mixes. I have jap millet at home and add it through the mix seperately.....if I dont mix it through its in dishes on the feeding paltform. have whole sack of it here :thankyou:

:thankyou:

Remember the cats saliva is toxic to birds...if the cat chews the grass you cant use it for the birds.

Another hot day here today

I just asked my wife and she said, 4-6 months of age. We tried to place another budgie in with it, and the other budgie had a go at it, so we had to seperate them. I am guessing it is a recessive pied. Someone said to us that it was a harlequin. Oh the joy of the different varieties. We are truly thankful for this forum. It is a very big help to us. Harlequin is an old fashioned rarely used name for a recessive pied I would appreciate a better photo than the one you supplied

female

Sorry about that. Best answer for sure. tell yourself..........BBC is best place for budgie answers

You missed a few spots Dave

That looks like it has gone a little too far. I would question the vets suggested method of treatment and take her back for a better look if you can. Failing that get some advice from seasoned show breeders near you who may have exerienced similar issues. Poor hen must be feeling very lousy.
