Hey Riebie, that's really exciting that you're getting another one!! I'm a bit neurotic sometimes when it comes to quarantine.. hehe.. If I play with the new birds, I make sure I wash all my clothes afterwards and I have a bath and wash my hair too!! If I just hold them to check on them and stuff, like a quick thing, then I only wash my hands thoroughly. The birds are kept in an always shut room, so no chances of the existing bird accidentally fly into that room. Like I said before, i can get a bit neurotic with quarantine.. :hap: but you can never be too sure!!

yeah, good luck with the second one. I hope this one is a good egg. :hap: It is so very eggciting indeed!!

I'm not sure if there's a different between willow and weeping willows. But apparently the weeping willows act like a sort of 'pain relief' for birds.

Hey BB, I think I'll have come over soon with my camera!! We'll get you some of those flight pics. :hap:

awww they are both gorgeous!!!

Wow, nice flight pics of Blinks. his 'white' wings make him look kinda angelic!! Poor Oz...

Awww they are gorgeous!! love the butt rub picture.

I go to the fabric shop to get dark coloured polar fleece material cut to size of the cage.

Aww, they are soooo cute!! it's good to see that those two are getting along so famously!!

Aww such a cutie pie. Very gorgeous!!!

My cockatoo currently has a night cage in the room, but it's an old ones and the bars are coming apart and he's actively destoying it!! The day cage he's in is way way way too big to wheel into the hall way (my hall way being about roughly 1m wide, and the cage definitely will not fit through the door frame to the bird room. His day cage overall dimension is 140cmWx 110cmDx 180cmH.. Click to see Apollo's day cage. This picture was taken straight after we've finished assembling it, hence the empty cage with only two bits of toys i didn't want to keep the cockatoo cage in there as he uses the top as a play area fairly often, and when he's out, i can't let the budgies out to play since the cockatoo will do all he can to get to 'kill' the budgies. he hates the budgies. I let my budgies out in the room to fly around while having the door shut so the cats can't get to them. i let the budgie out all day sometimes as well when i'm not home, and to have to cockatoo cage in there would mean trouble. i wouldn't want anything bad to happen to my budgies. i can see your point of view, but either way, whether i get this one or not, i'll still need to get a new night cage for my cockatoo before he make a big enough hole in his cage to make an escape during the night. thank you though for your thoughts and advice.

he's main cage is in the main living area, and I've got three cats that stays indoor. My cockatoo wouldn't get a good decent amount of sleep straight through the night. As I said, I'm only going to use the bottom cage as a night cage for my cockatoo so he'll only be in there during the night time when he's sleeping, so I wouldn't think it was a problem with that. The top cage will be used as budgie cage for three of my indoor budgies. Oh, this cage will be located in a spare room, and the cats don't have access to it at night.

Thanks, and yeah I had a look at the US ebay before, but most of the ones that I want only ship to US, or otherwise the freight are like HUMUNGOUSLY EXPENSIVE!! There are hardly any cages that are worth looking at in the Australian Ebay. The birds world here in Australia is nothing in comparison to those in the US, we're missing out a lot of good deals on cages and toys and stuff. :fear

I think it'll give me back some space in the room with the double decker cage!! (Laughing out loud).. From what I've seen, that's a very reasonable price for that particular cage here in Australia. There are so many cages out there that I see in all the US website and I want to get them, but the postage will just overkill it a bit I think... hehe. :fear

Oh That's great to hear that Tobi girl is getting good!! :fear She's a pretty little one.

I am looking for a new cage. I found this cage on Ebay, and it's exactly the same one I saw in a shop for a price that I don't even want to mention here, it's just ridiculously expensive in the shop. The bar space is about 1cm if my memory serves me right. an opinion would be great. I'm only intending on putting a max of three budgies in the top half. the bottom half will be used as my cockatoo's night/sleeping cage. Any thoughts on it??

wow, what a pretty little lady you have Boom!! Gorgeous colours!! Love that little baby.

Hehe, a lot of my budgies are like pretty!! out of 19,I can say that only four really likes the water.. The other 15, well they snub the water unless it's a really really hot day!! (Laughing out loud).. Yes, she loves her water, but then again, she'll only willingly go to the water may be once a week.. it's like when she's had her share for the week, it's enough until then.. she's funny like that!! Basically she realised that she's getting all dirty and dusty without her bath, so she needs to take one... Just like a kid that tries to talk his/her way out of going to the bath, only Lemon gets her wishes!! (Laughing out loud)

That's little Hope (Lemon's cage mate) learning to have a bath. :fear Hope follows Lemon everywhere, even when she's bathing. Oh, and my monitor front got really really wet!! (Laughing out loud)... my pc hides under the table so it was safe.. :hap:

Not a picture, but i uploaded this quick clip of my little fatty Lemon having a bath, and little Hope is still 'learning' the art of bathing!!! I hope the link works... If not give it sometimes and try again later, I think the host server may be down now. cheers

Wow, that looks like a great cage. I think your little budgie would love it in there. Although personally I don't like the open top. I've heard horror stories about bird being killed by those kind of top.

geeze, it does look like you're starving your babies there!!! (Laughing out loud).. You must be putting extra treats in that little cup or something.. and the flock has realised your little trickery!! (Laughing out loud)

Aww, that is great news!! Good job with the first baby. you should be proud of it. can't wait to see some babies pics.

Geeze.... you two are funny!!! (Laughing out loud) had me in stiches... You did good getting the egg out Karen.. poor baby girl, I hope she'll be okay.

I think I just found my new fav kinda budgie!! Spangle opaline!! sooooo adorable!!!
