hi iam thinking about breeding the budgies in february and i dont know if i should wait until the summer or now?? please help me!! Toffeefluff

hi all, recently one of our budgies (DJ) has started scratching his eye. Some of his feathers have been scratched off around his eye. This has happend before but not as bad as this. We have separated him from the flock and he is improving rapidly. Hes a fit and healthy bird and this is the only time he has been feeling under the weather. Please can anyone tell me what is wrong and how to treat him! Toffeefluff

hi some very sad news. tigger died a few days ago. she lived a happy life and had lots of chicks. tigger was a much loved part of the flock. Toffeefluff :fear

if anyone knows the colour of the 2008 rings please reply!!!!thanks Toffeefluff :budgiedance:i live in england

hi thanks for all the replies tigger is not still caring for the chicks they are healthy and strong!!! Tigger hasnt been wormed and i noticed that her breast bone ,or round about that area , was quite big this afternoon She spends most of her time sleeping and i put some lettuce to see if she would eat it .i have seen her scuttling around with the others on the floor of the aviry so she wasnt on the floor alone. Lately she has been feeding and drinking well and hasnt been going on the floor very much thank you again for the advice!! Toffeefluff :yellowhead: :bluebudgie:

hi all over the last few weeks one of our flock Tigger has been looking very ill. She has been seen on the floor of the aviry and sleeping most of the time. The only time she dosnt sleep is when she is eating or drinking. She has had 5 chicks this year. Unfortunatly one of the chicks (Sugar) died when he was only a few days old. When we first got her she was like this and we took her inside for a faw days and she felt better. Hope any of you can help me find out what is wrong with the little guy!! FRM toffeefluff

We cleaned his vent evry day as it kept getting dirty.The poos were starting to look normal but still a bit green. :nest: :ygbudgie:

hi everyone,sadly, this morning Sugar died. He wasn't feeling very well for the few days and spending most his time on the bottom of the cage. He also had quite alot of poo on his vent and seemed to be struggling with breathing. We think it might be pneumonia :budgiedance: :ausb:

Hi evryone, Does anyone know any signs or tips to know when your hen is about to lay eggs?

Hi there My budgie is 6 years old this year and he has been showen before but by a different owner. Please can you tell me if he is too old to breed and show! thanks Toffeefluff

thanks evryone

thanks for that really handy tip but do you dilute it and by how much. thanks Toffeefluff

thanks Elly

dear elly , I have been breeding for 1 year only and have had only 1 budgie. This year we have 2 breeding pairs of our choice.We did this method last year. sorry for the time I took to answer I didn' see the question :hap:

We can't find any creams or sprays yet for scaly face.We think that our budgie has scaly face. Please can you suggest any home-made creams that I can make to apply to her cere. Thanks for your time and help! :hap:

do you know what the treatment is for scaly face is because I think that one of my birds has got it.Please could you tell me what the signs are. Thanks for your help,toffeefuff :hap: :parrot: :greenb: :dbb1:

My birds fave toy is the mirror! :hap:

when we got the hen she already had an egg(with the previous owner,who took her off the nest).When we put her in our cage with the cock she hadn't really seen him before although he was trying to pair up with her .I think that she was trying to show some dominance over him,recantly she hasn't been too aggressive,they seem to be getting on quite well. The other pair have already paired up and are sitting in the nest box together and tweeting gently to each other!! we have taken all the nest boxes away from the aviary and the fighting has stopped.The 2 pairs I have talked about are now the only breeding pairs,it :hap: we are hoping to hear the pitter patter of little budgie feet!!! :dbb1:

we have isolated her in a cage(the bird with scaly face) and there is one male with one female(breeding pairs) in one cage(2 pairs in 2 cages),they ae settling in well but one of the females is bullying the male-this happend last year aslwell but with a different bird.they had eggs but none hatched.the bullying stopped after a while and she settled down. :bluebudgie: :budgiedance: :nest: :oliveb: :redalbino: :ygbudgie: :ausb:

Thanks everyone - we've put the two main offenders and their mates into breeding cages - so hopefully that will stop the fighting - will keep on the others but they seem more laid back. Just spotted a new budgie which we recently bought has got scaley face - think it is (looks like pinky, scaly, crusty growth around the cere and beak) - we've isolated her - any good tips for sprays/creams? :budgiedance: :feedbirds:

Some birds like to sleep in strange positions, a cockatiel I am babysitting likes to sleep clinging to the side of the cage! Don't worry! :budgiedance:

hi its toffeefluffy here, I keep about 14 budgies in an aviary (7 males/7 females). Just put up 7 nest boxes recently 3 of my budgies(females)have beon two levels. But 3 of the females are behaving aggresively and viciously to each other. About 2 days ago one of the females, had her claw ripped off by another budgie the other 2 have also been injured.I have seen them once attacking each other,they all go in one nest box at once and fight!! please help and if you can give some advice. :devil: :yelling: :ygbudgie: :fear
