Yes, these days I lock up. I began that habit the moment the new flights were finished.

I bet if you phoned a chemist thats open and asked for chlorsig ointment they would have some. Around $6-$7

If you can manage a trip to my place I have some ointment specifically prescribed for birds for that exact problem. Name is CHLORSIG OINTMENT. read http://www.mydr.com.au/cmis/PDFs/CMI2981.pdf

Your birds are so beautiful and you take really nice photos. As Elly says enter them into our competitions and you will do very well

You need to learn to crop feed too Dave...and there is crop needles for younger babies. Try seeing if they will suck in a runny mix made up with the triple c water in it.

Times like these you need to be topping up with crop feed with some triple c in the formula. Have you ever crop fed ?

Not to mention getting the dogs undivided attention

Breeding room handles are attached ( bolted ) from inside..........not screwed on outside. aviary to flights is lockable ( old photo )

To access the same way we do Renee, means crossing our yard and more chance of being seen. Seems whoever has been at the aviary is coming in from the back or over a neighbours fence or another way which I wont disclose right now. Also I lock the doors of my birdroom.

No, its just what budgies do with wood

Quarantine is meant to be in another cage in another room at least 5 metres away and in other airspace. Psittacosis brought in by a carrier bird who doesnt show symptoms will go through a whole room in no time at all. Incubation a week to ten days. You need to be far more careful and educated with quarantine than you are right now.

I have a relative high up in the police force....he has advised some measures that I havent disclosed here You are smarter than the average bear arent you GB

Makes Dave a stud in the making ? Or makes Dave a Budgie Stud

no, she was sitting like that due to trying to balance on the edge of the seed dish

Some were and others were around 800px × 536px right click the photos and select properties and you will see.

I find putting triple C in the parents drinking water helps in these cases.

and this boy Memphis is their cousin

the first time I saw it Splat..........I was trying to squash it...was chasing it around my screen too and thinking it was under the screen in side the pc

Good idea Shannon Thanks

Hard work shifting slabs.............did you work up a sweat, Dave

There will be only one chick from this round. Frannie moulting Mac

They look grey to me.

Ken has booby trapped both screws and the area. No. The first attempt to break into the aviary was in January...........well before any bird mill accusations. Also that person is from the USA.Was just a thought.Thankyou too............its great when we try and problem solve

No. The first attempt to break into the aviary was in January...........well before any bird mill accusations. Also that person is from the USA. But aren't they noisy? And wouldn't the birds go beserk? Come to think of it, given that that corner is so close to your neighbors' I am surprised no one came and investigated! Cordless drill are very quiet and wont be heard unless you are arounf 15-20 feet away. Torchlight moving around down there would be a good reason the birds were going berserk in there earlier in the week during the night though. If someone was down there using a torch.Neighbours wont investigate noises there either as they are used to us using tools down there and used to the birds noises too.
