  1. Thundra now....posted for Dave who named her
  2. Ratzy, I understand how exciting this is for you However, you really need to be very discreet in your observations and check the nest box once in the morning and once in the evening MAXIMUM. You run the risk of freaking her out - a stressed hen will not brood properly (incubate the eggs) and will have "issues" raising the young. Agreed.
  3. Better weather today.........so far overcast/cloudy with max temperature meant to be 31 degrees C I am sure Nubbly will correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding is backlining is chemically treating sheep for lice generally around the same time they are shorn.
  4. Dave isnt a good budgie name
  5. add this little one to the equation Better call this one Nubbly..........just for laughs.
  6. This extended part is nice, Kaz, so you don't have to worry about getting your concrete floor wet. Some of it gets wet depending on how hard I turn the sprinklers on but it dries up real fast in this heat
  7. Why are you saying yellowface. Its a green budgie. Even mine shown above has that bluish colour by the legs you were seeing in yours and mine isnt yellowface.
  8. Not a dilute, so that leaves one of those dodgy greywings Maybe ?
  9. Not dilute, maybe not even yellowface. Looks greywing to me Heres one of mine and yours

    You cannot have rain getting in anywhere in your aviary as dampness can cause coccidiosis. If you are worried about the base wood rotting then you can get thick rubber belting from rubber places to put between the bottom wooden rail and the concrete base......make it just as wide as the wood. Also a roof that overlaps enough so rain doesnt get in OR one of those plastic pergolas from Bunnings or hardware stores so its protected during rainy weather. You will need shade and rain protection if its not under cover.
  11. I have put a sprinkler system in the end of the aviary will have further modifications as necessary
  12. Please post a clear picture of the cage and perches and feeders.........................hens most often get nasty over SPACE and PERCHES.

    Is there no roofing ?
  14. **KAZ** replied to fero's topic in Breeding Tips
    you seem to have now experienced what happens when you colony breed.
  15. Very sorry to hear that Dave

    You will need a safety door area.............this can be acchieved by hanging a net over the door so you can go in and out without losing birds.......try anf find one of those long nets on hoops popular for hanging over kids beds...attach it to the top over the door and step through into the netted area, then into your birds.....when not in use throw it up on top of the aviary. Lovely painted job, BUT the birds will chew all that painted wood.

    Well done....what a lovely job
  18. Well done by your parents too Shannon as they have come though and helped yuou in such a big way They must have realised you were serious and needed a good jump start.
  19. I can pick up odd feathers from cage or aviary and poke them in various places on my budgies too and make them look exactly like that
  20. Shannon you are doing very well......you have been very focussed about improving things for your birds. I am so proud of how far you have come.
  21. Excellent buddy.................. How cool is that ?! Big big congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!
  22. Not a mutation............its a trick. Do not be fooled
  23. Dads are the primary feeders from chicks from 2 weeks onwards anyway.........he is best left with them now and she needs to be elsewhere for a few weeks.
