All your budgies are gorgeous but l just love this one's colour.

Hi, welcome :emoticon112:

lucky you Dave l can't wait to see the pictures!!

sure, l will get more pictures up today. need to get my camera out ~~~~~~~~Edit~~~~~~~~ Okay, l got some more pictures. After zooming into my pictures, l'm 100% positive that Tequila is indeed a BOY!!!! The pictures ~~~~~~~~~ Today, l tried for the first time to give Tequila a treat by hand. l got her oops l meant him, lol! l need to get use to saying him I got him out of his cage and placed him into my traveling cage. This time l stayed in my room and l slowly put my hand in his cage with some millet seed. l held the millet seed with the tip of my finger and l offered it to him. At first he just stood on his perch and starred at it. l slowly went closer to him and finally l was near his beak. He never moved or flinched. l gently touched his beak with the millet seed and viola he started to eat from my finger tip l was able to capture him on video, eating from my hand. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpWTIzofaGg He looks funny in the video because l do not think he likes the camera, he keeps looking at it, lol.

awww...thanks!! My progress with Tequila has been going steady. However this post l'm writing is more on her gender then my taming her. l'm really thinking that she is in fact a boy. For one thing, l know in some photo's the cere looks like it has white but when l look at the cere daily l see no white? Another thing is Tequila has bit me only once when l took her out of the box the first day but she/he was scared, Tequila has not bit me since. Tequila also is calling out to outside birds and is very vocal during the day unlike a hen is. Tequila has me stumped with the gender issue. l'm so curious to see if infact she is a he or a she?

lol :rofl: :rofl:

You did a good job. That's awful what that person did.

Hi, welcome Matteo You have a beautiful flock.

She is such a cutie!!!! Congrats on being a gramma again

lol, you should get a video of him doing that.

They are adorable.

Hi, welcome :rofl: About quarantine, it really is very important to do. Regardless of where you got your new budgie from but since it is too late to do. Just keep an eye on your budgies for any signs of illness. If l where you l would take them to an avian vet for a check up.

Hi, welcome :rofl:

l've been following your thread. l'm so sorry for your loss.

l have had her for almost a month now :rofl: that would be so cute. l should try and teach her that Thanks she has helped me so much. To get through the grieving.

They are looking great!

He is progressing nicely :question:

aww thanks :question: Sootie l like your siggy.

l was going to post these pictures in my taming post but l decided to post them here instead My little one Tequila sitting on my hand ( sorry the picture quality is poor, l was using my video camera) This one is my favorite picture

They look really nice, lucky you

Thanks l'm actually not 100% sure about her gender either, at times l think she is a male. when the cere change colour l will then know for sure I also find taming her outside of the cage seems to work for me. When l let her out in the bathroom, she will sit on me and l take her bell ball out to play with her. So far she just looks at me like l'm crazy, lol.

Today l had Tequila in her traveling cage beside me all evening. Just to hang out in the living room with my family. She was nervous with all the noise but l decided that l will do this everyday with her, so she gets used to noise and to kids. l'm also going to put her in a slightly smaller cage, so l can take her anywhere in the house with me. After l feel she is getting tamer l will move her back into her larger cage. A little off topic but l noticed today that she looks like she is a violet but my camera doesn't pick it up.

Everything happens for a reason hey Yes, it is so true

well, it looks like l'm not getting one at the moment. I just found out that the breeder is actually in California and not in Manitoba. I wish l found out sooner then now. Oh well, l guess it was not mean't to be. l'm not upset, l will just spend more time with Tequila

This is very interesting, in the latest picture looks male :question:
