Daz this is an awesome job you have done. Well done ol boy

Hmmm Bubblegum babies if they turn out like the dad Woooooooooow

Yep same here

What a great name, you need to get it a little parachute

Karen thats fantastic to get 3firsts and a second great effort, and the chicks look great.

Yes Sailorwolf the lights are in fact hose proof. Here you go Paul These are the ones I use in the breeding cages. I just change the jar if I need more to feed more birds. Here is the layout for the aviry. (Click to enlarge) Thanks for that Daz, do you mind telling me the price of these feeders (do they come with the jar) and also do you keep the same feeder in the cage for when the chicks start eating on their own or do use an extra feeder or such.

Hi Daz, you could knocked me over with a feather, someone complaining about the noise, woe Bubbles better look out she's got hundreds So you have to have a permit, a bit silly I think.........well if your breeding rare parrots etc yes okay.................. but budgies, well I guess the councils got to get its money from somewhere. Trust a woman to complain..........ah only gagging and good luck to the oldies, it wont be long and some of us will be there.

Daz, could it be possible to have a close up photo of the seed feeders you are using in the breeding cabnets? Please Ta

Thanks for that Karen, well I'll do that and hope for more nudging than winking Ta Thanks for that Daz...Can you explain a little more about Probics and .......Sparks? Old Ash filled eggs??????? Cheers

ANY IDEAS

Does anybody know if you can bring birds into condition for breeding? I was told that if you put them into a breeding cage this will bring it on.......not quite sure about that one. Any Ideas.

First thing tomorrow morning is BBD Can't wait. I figured it was better than putting them in just before bed time. It sure is a skipping rope. There are 2 of them in there. The second one is close to the front and is in a V shape. A lot of the stuff we got was from a discount store and $2 stores. The bamboo lattice was the most expensive item, at $5.00. Most of the small toys, dog toys and skipping ropes were $2.00 each. Karen, I found the perfect size containers to use to stop budgies going in to the dispensers. I have put 2 slits in the top and used a long cable tie so that it can be lifted for filling. I have lots of these containers at home if you want some. 18 hours to go before budgie infiltration Feathers. I reacon your a legend Aly for doing all that work.....also where did you get the green feeders and were they expensive?

Hi...everyone is different, but I wouldn't pay any more than $100 a pair

Well Daz,you have to be feeling pretty good after producing this awesome bird room, it is a credit to you. Can you post some close up photos of your breeding adventures as you go along.

What a great web page, oh, and I like Porkball he's a great looking bird.

wow Aly what a great aviary, your birds will love it.

What a proud looking mum, and the chicks look great. What age did you start ringing? Great stuff Karen Cheers Paul

Ta rainbow for that, however the Albino is defently a girl, up until about 4 weeks ago she had the darkest brown cere, hoping she will come back into condition before to long.

What a great looking bunch of kids Karen, as always, and the photos are great. Is this lot part of your controlled breeding program?

Thanks for all the info lovey, much appreciated If he is the slate mutation -- then you could get slate females and males split to slate and -ino. There are many other possibilites based on what other mutations the albino is (or is carrying) and what the male is carrying. Depends on what the albino is -- sky blues and cobalts if she has any dark factors - males split to -ino. And if the male has any splits they may show up. Once again, ta very much for the info Thanks Aly

Hi peoples, Friday I got two very nice Large birds to breed with, this is where I need your help. I want to put one of these mails with my Albino girl, I am not sure what they are split too. The breeder was a show breeder however due to her age (86 and not up to date with her record even though she still rings her birds) but doesn't show birds anymore. But she is still a registered member of a Club. She feels that both of these males would be suitable with my Albino. Firstly...is a slate colour... it is actually darker than the picture shows. Secondly... is a Sky blue. This is the Girl Also, what would be the result of pairing these two birds. The female is a Lutino and the boy is an Opaline spangle green split to a Fallow and a light grey yellow face opaline spangle. Not the best photo Thanks guys

Ta for that Daz That was the feeling of the breeders on the weekend too, but they found without the dark factor the colour was too washed out. If they dark or grey factor was used as well, then it would intensify the colour. Thanks for that info

Paul check you local parks and nature strips and schoolyards. The council likes planting peppermont trees everywhere. Thats a great idea, why didn't I think of that:) must be the male factor. He he

Peppermint trees, sounds good. Where did you get your stash from? Hmm have to keep an eye out when I'm driving around. Thanks for that info Karen.
