    Hi and welcome to our forums your budgie is very beautiful. since you mentioned that the cere is purple could mean it is a boy but l can not say that for sure yet.
  5. it is very good to hear that Lukie is slowly getting better, l'm still thinking about him and praying. p.s. that is awful what happened to those fish, l can not believe how some kids can do that to any living creature, l felt bad for that poor man.

  14. she could have suffered from a stroke or her nest got attacked but l really don't know, it is best if you go and see an avian vet. so she can be properly diagnosed.

    hey norm, you are welcome and thanks
  16. Elly, what a nice thing to say! Thank you so much. I will let you know what happens. Strange that Lukie is only 'tame' when he is frightened - I can't understand why he doesn't like to sit on our fingers or shoulders. On well, they each have their own little likes and dislikes I suppose - the main thing is he is happy. My husband is very good with animals, birds, fish - you name it. One day we got up and found that the outdoor fish pond had sprung a leak during the night and all the fish appeared to be dead. It was upsetting to us as we know each fish and its character. They do have characters, I promise, we are not just being sentimental here. One is the leader of the shoal, another is the brave one who is willing to try anything new (eg new little 'cave' we added or different water feature which he will swim under first etc) another is the loner and keeps to himself a lot, another is the follower and always tries things last. We got to know their characters just by watching them when we are out sitting on the patio. Anyway, my husband took each 'dead' fish, massaged their hearts and blew into their mouths and, one by one, he revived them. The last one seemed beyond hope with glazed fixed eyes, so, as a last resort he applied a gentle stream of bubbly water into its mouth while massaging its heart. After ages it suddenly coughed and spluttered and recovered! They are all fit and well and you'd never think they were at deaths door at one time. Friends thought we were crazy and said we should have just thrown them out and bought new ones. " They're just fish, for heavens sake" was the normal response. They are not just fish to us - we've had them for over 10 years. Luv Vonn xx l understand how you feel about your fish. a few years back l had a few goldfish in a pond in my backyard, one day l woke up and l went to the pond, only to find no fish in the pond ( l had a dozen fish in there). when l looked closer l noticed scales in the water also a fish head. l realized then my pond was raided by raccoons during the night. when l was cleaning the pond l noticed some movement under a pail l had in the pond. l went to pick it up, all of a sudden a goldfish shot right out of the pail. l caught it and put it inside my house in an aquarium. l felt so bad for the only surviving goldfish because it kept swimming up and down for almost an hour. it looked like it was searching for its friends. my friends and family thought l was crazy for crying over fish ( l had those fish for 8 years ), they said to me l shouldn't cry over my fish's and that l could always buy some more l'm hoping that Lukie will be alright, l'm keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers.
  17. Congratulations good luck with this clutch.

  22. l like the cage that you ordered, as like what Elly said that for one budgie the cage is fine but for more then one budgie, you should upgrade.
