Thanks for the info Elly

So then guys can you help me with this one. This Albino was 12 months old at last Christmas...I was sure it had a real dark brown cere...but its now April and the cere is still pink. Perhaps I got this one wrong too because it doesn't look like turning brown.

Thanks again, so the white bits on the nostrils would indicate it was a girl if it was under 12 months old or even younger is that correct. How long do you wait if its got white on the cere in identifying it as a boy. Ta again

Ta for that Nerwen, i've put him in with a female, so i'll guess i'll see what happens or doesn't happen

Hi peoples, not long ago you helped me sex a bird for an old friend and that was a big help, it was a creamino. Well the same lady had 3 of these creamino's and she kindly offered me one, for free hows that hey. It is a nice size bird and I think she said it was about one to one and a half years old. So here is some photos, hope someone can help. TA muchly

Once again Karen you have chosen well,,you certainly have an eye for good birds. Good luck, and I can't wait to see the babies when they come.

Hey great aviary,,,looks good. Just wash it with disinfectant or vinegar diluted with water and then hose it out.

I use Budgie Breeder from City Farmers, there is no wastage at all.

what no one

Grit.......I have always thought that because birds have no teeth they have a limited means in crushing their food. However if they swallow small pieces of grit when pecking around on the floor it mixes the seed in the gizzard and the strong muscles together with the grit, churn the seed into a pasty mulch that then can be more easily digested. Just a thought.

Lets fly away then, FOOOOOOOOOOOOD

What ACT to QLD, what about WA to QLD,,,,,,,,,,,I wonder if Virgin has some cheap flights

Hi peoples, just wandering if anybody has heard of an Ameranthus Plant, a woman who lives close to me writes articles for the Australian Bird Keeper Magazine swears by them for there nutrition and wholeness for budgies. So I planted some seeds and started to grow some for my self, she reckons they go nuts over them and that they are real good for birds. So I picked a few leaves and flowers and gave some to my birds and hey presto, they love it. Here's a couple of photos to see if you can reconize the plant.

WHAT!!! you've got 40 babies already, Karen what are you feeding your flock, (viagra I bet) :offtopic: That has blown me away 40 babies, how great is that, dare I say it AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, I can see the resemblence (did ringer) :)Ah it's okay I was only gaging Feathers. He he. After having some fun, I must say Karen, it's a real nice bird.

Top stuff Daz, I would say that all the work you have put into your birds is paying off. Well done

Nice one Karen

Daz the two photos I've posted: The first one is the parents the second one are the babies. Are the parents type11 Parblue yellow face and are the two babies type1 yellow face split to type11 parblue? Thanks very much for that insight Daz and Nerwen..........much appreciated Wow hows the difference in visual colour with Marine it changed so much.

Wow Karen 3 inch worms phew.......so if the poops are long and stringy iy could be worms.

Thanks for that info Daza, what you say makes perfect sence. Now what about Sulpher D, some people I have heard them say they use all year round. How would this affect breeding birds.

Hers A question........Can budgies be treated for worms at the beginning or during breeding. And the same question for Antibiotics.

Thanks everyone for your input, I can go down to this nice old lady now and tell her how clever I am (I mean how clever we are). he he he She will be pleased that it is a male. Thanks again peoples Cheers Paul

Hi,,,,,,,,shocking photo, I'll try to get a better photo;; Thanks for the advice everyone Cheers A better photo to look at

Hi Peoples........I have a friend who is a fairly old woman, who still delights in breeding budgies. I had a visit with her yesterday, she had a query,,,,,,,,what sex was this 2005 Creamino she was showing me. Well I thought maybe a male wasn't sure,,,,so I mentioned this forum to her,,,took a couple of scratchy photos,, to ask you guys what you all thought. Cheers
