**KAZ**

We cannot advise you on the open web in case a negative message gets picked up and gets this forum in trouble. Thats why we try not to say anything about specific petshops named................GOOGLE would have it all over the net in seconds

One on the left is female and the other may be also, but if you can post a clear photo up close of the cere of the yellow one then we can tell you for certain :rip:

:rip: :star: needed a good laugh

Just got back from Dads funeral in Geraldton and sorting out some of his house. Will play "catch up" on the forum shortly.

My batteries are a bit flat But thanks for all ..........everyone

second from the left is a spangle.

add to that five budgies lost ( died ) due to handing the reins over to ken

baby with Mum and Dad with Mum dad feeding and others

You have some great birds there mate Gotta be real happy with them

In my experience some do grow back all their feathers and some dont. Hanging onto them for a few months will give you the answers you seek. Some grow them straight back and others struggle to. Wish I could be more help, but energy levels and motivation due to losing two Dads has me feeling a little "flat"

Great job Liv

I doubt it. Having experience with french moulters who have little to no wing feathers, they are lucky to glide to ground never mind flying off

I flew in at teatime and raced down and got their rings on....just Will check them better in the morning as light wasnt the best...eldest seems to be a hen and second chick a cock.

Back only for today, and I have to go back to Geraldton for my fathers funeral. Checking birds so did some pictures... In the nest of three greywings this fellow is in and out of the nestbox, flyting all around and perching with his Dad siblings in the nestbox... and the skyviolet greywing baby

at the age they are now, feeding budgie starter which has seeds and a lumpier texture will healp wean them onto seed.

Kaz doesnt do frequent flier points Kaz is away ( out of town ) as her Dad has just passed away.

Thanks Anne.... Feeling shattered.

I have been away............my father was ill and passed away yesterday morning. Youngest chick died. Eldest two were almost past ringing stage by the time I got to do them tonight. Back to Geraldton to my fathers funeral now...

UPDATE............... I have just returned briefly from a few days away. My own father was hospitalised ( some 300 miles away where he lives ) Sunday night. We were told he would not live till morning. My sister and I drove throught the night with no sleep to get there and arrived 6am next morning on the Monday. He passed away Tuesday morning at 9:30 am. I am now preparing to return with my husband for the funeral which will be Saturday. We have now lost Kens father and now mine just days apart.

Thanks Liv....There is no baldness around the cere, just like pin feathers coming through on the tops of their heads, they only moulted a few months ago, so I was just putting it down to the change in seed? I do not find that a moult caused by change of seed involves a baldness near the cere...that may be a coincidence. It isnt my experience at all.

and room for you and the kids :hug:

Not that hard to do Splat and also easy to modify one you already have I would say. We have done the rest of the meshing for the open air popout suspended section today. Now ...to do list.... 1. fill gaps in concrete between slab and colourbond metal. 2. Fill any sharp edges and smaller gaps with gap filler. 3. Fit hatch door for access to outside fence. 4. Fit front wall and windows, and mesh the front window. 5. Make another hinged perch section for the front flight. 6. Clean wire. 7. Add feeders 8. Add birds.

Both recessive pieds and looks like siblings this one female and the other ambiguous :hug:
