Hobbes& Clarie says "Thank You" well, this Monday l have an appointment to take them to get clipped and also trim their nails. l'm also going to ask the vet to show me how to trim their nails, so l'll be able to do that on my own, when they need it. oh, they are not going to like me for awhile but l'm sure they will be okay, once they settle down and get use to their clipped wings.

Glad to hear you had a much better day today. Have a good time at your brother's wedding

sounds like the photo shoot is going to be fun good luck with the budgie show!!!!

that is an awesome aviary

l'm going to stick with my first guess, Jack is a boy.

yes, you can put his seed dish in his cage, perhaps put the dish near a perch that he seems to sit on the most. he will find his seed dish eventually and you can continue to spread some seeds on the floor until you notice that he is eating from his dish. ***sitting patiently........waiting for the pics...........................

your flock looks great

your boys are handsome. if you use the oil just remember, try not to put any oil on their feathers and only use a very small amount. check their legs too, to make sure there are no mites on them either.

those are great pictures

Yes, I am looking for her owners. I have posted an item in Lost and Found on Brisbane gumtree & have checked the local shops & the newspaper that arrived today. Nothing to go on yet. I will give the shelters a call & local vets early next week. Will keep you updated! http://brisbane.gumtree.com.au/brisbane/lo...erty_613_1.html that's great. thanks for keeping us updated.

that looks great, l shall try it out on my birdies.

l got 62%,.....hmmm l didn't do too bad for a beginner on genetics :(Laughing out loud):

Hey there Una, welcome back l have been wondering lately where you have been, it is really good to see you back here. it would be great to see some pics of your flock and pets

l cannot believe it has been 1 year, l'm so deeply sorry for your loss. Pretty was an awesome budgie and you took such great care and gave him so much love. fly free little angel

oh man, what a horrible day. l feel so bad for what happend to you, l hope that tommorrow will bring a much better day for you. ((((((hugs))))))

that is so Awsome!!!! thanks for updating us on Lucas

okay, l have finally have found the picture l don't have any other feathered friends but l did take a picture of a baby Snowy Owl. "can you see me?"

we will miss you Merlin while you are away

Thanks for the fast replies okay, l think next week l'll go to the vet to get them trimmed. they will probably not like it but like you mentioned in time they will grow back l plan on making a journal to watch the progress that l make with them, l will update you all when l start with their training.

(Laughing out loud), those are great pictures, l love the captions

such a cutie

Bert and Ernie are so handsome, l love their colours. you should enter one of the pics into the Apirl Budgie Of The Month contest

l don't see any pictures. never mind my above statement. for some reason l can see them now your budgies are gorgeous.

my two budgies are 2 years old today l was just thinking back when l first got them, l tried to tame them for about 1 month. my male Hobbes was really making progress with the taming, but my hen Claire was not responding that well to training. how l was taming them, l would take each bird separately into the bathroom and spend about 30 minutes or more with each of them, talking to them. they both would go on to my finger and they would be relaxed and seemed to be very comfortable. l noticed that when l would be finished with Hobbes and put him back into my cage, Claire would seem to be very upset with Hobbes, she would chase him around the cage and harass him and nip at him. after awhile she would settle down. when l first started to tame them they had their wings clipped, so do you think l should clip their wings just this once to help to tame them or give them a very light trim or just leave them fully flighted? the reason why l stopped taming them, my flock grew from 2- 8 budgies in less then 4 months, so l found it really difficult to keep training them, especially 8 of them.
