**KAZ**

I AM SO EXCITED FOR YOUR BREEDING THIS YEAR DAVE AND THESE CHICKS ARE GREAT RESULTS OOPS ........CAPITALS sorry

More babies went into the kindie cage as they kept getting back into the nestbox with Mum laying a second round of eggs. and others

Livs feather dusters not mine and the YF has nothing to do with it.

The budgie rings we have here in Australia are thin aluminium so cut easily with the correct ring cutters and I advised cutting both sides so it falls away without cutting the leg. Thankyou also Chrys for the great extra info that will help us all make good decisions for our birds

Really nice photos Anne

FOOFIE not POOFIE Are you sure this one is a male ? Any white on a cere including if the white is with blue means FEMALE. Got a better cere photo ? Looks female in the ones you posted so far.

A few quick photos taken tonight while I was vacuuming the birdroom after being out all day at a budgie show.

Wow Linda the birds are looking good after their trip And really really nice photos PS Great birds

Great job Dave Holidays help with being able to do stuff Ken is on holidays next Friday so I can see the flights getting finished

Dumb and Dumbers breeder was talking to me today about how well bred those boys are. I was able to tell him they are breeding. Hans also may be putting his cull birds on BBC for sale when he is ready. I spoke to a couple of breeders today about putting there culls on here before other places

these being rezults you wanted kaz or no ? I definitely wanted some greywings out of this pairing for sure GB

I so totally agree

Two eldest are dilutes and two next are greywings. Fifth chick yet to identify as feathers come in.

No cover, but we have 4 cats 2 dogs and all the birds Luckily Orlando didnt need an op today. Went to the vets and he was shaved, cleaned up, wound was closed with superglue and he is on antibiotics for ten days......$ 99 so not too bad considering

They are so beautiful Liv Has this one had a haircut ?

sorry I was talking abouyt two of them I dont think this one is skyviolet at all but cobalt

Once chicks have their legrings on its easier to shift them around

I moved the babies to even up some nestboxes so there werent too many in one nest and not too many in another.

Thats fine mate...I was just saying once that happens to the legring, things change quickly. PS we will be at the vet tomorrow too Kens old siamese cat just got attacked by a horrible tomcat and has a hole in his stomach. The vet said bring him in tomorrow to be stitched. I bet our vet bill will be bigger than yours.

Omelette's eldest chick an opaline grey female died today. Apparently a blood vessel in the nasal passage burst and profuse bleeding was coming from the right nostril, .............death came quickly as blood was filling its lungs It was a very large chick too. I also moved the two grey spangles into a foster nest, leaving the four youngest with Omelette.

Timing is crucial right now Matt.....please do not delay getting her to the vet. It can go pearshaped within hours.

By the way kaz, I would LOVE the cock bird. I could use him for show breeding OR colour breeding as i am in need of a double factor yellow face type one, and he just happens to be gorgeous to boot You may not Dean.....he is the father of the three feather dusters and it appears to have come from him.

Matt she wont have eggs in a couple of weeks...they would be here now if she was going to have them. Considering her state of health she will not be making eggs. Good advice not to cut the ring off yourself. I have seen experienced people try with one that embedded and the bird was slashed and bled so much the blood supply to the leg was cut off also. If anyone ever has to cut off an easier to take off legring, you use the legring cutters ( around $12 on our accessories table in our club ) BUT you cut both sides so it falls off without having to manipulate the sharp sharp metal.

This grey spangle cock on the left ( belonging to Liv ) is a double factor yellowface. All of his chicks were YF.
