the pie

Maybe... yep we headed out, not the best one imo. May be heading out further east to get dna samples of dogs at some stage. Did you go? Was doing 'dog stuff' have 1 spot that needs some attention. Have quietened them down most other places now. Weather has been perfect to be out lately. First time Ive done the double quote thing and it worked:)

Not sure if I'd call it grass- but they are on the ground picking at seed from bindi plants

Gorgeous birds, looking forward to seeing more of them

Agree, good luck with the chicks they should be rippers. Really looking forward to seeing them.

Took a few pics of some galahs today, to be honest they are my least favourite bird but they take a good photo. They had come in to drink at the trough I was working at.. Few at another tank And sunset on the nullarbor last week... Thats all I got for here... :sad:

Late reply I know and probably an old wives tale- but a breeder said to me keep an eye on the shape of eggs as this is how he sexes the chicks- Ive yet to take enough notice and keep track but maybe you can? Pointed vs rounded and what comes out of each. But otherwise yes its perfectly normal to have those shapes in the nest

I havent been on much lately but beforeI was opening it up many many times a day :mallet: I refused to keep count... I will try to get back on more often :rofl:

Ohh MB I only just read this, I am so sorry how terrible this is. So far away but if there is anything I can do. But on the other side I am so happy you got your girl, how long to go now?

Jaffa

I agree with RIP, on the part of the wings you the markings look grey. But going on what they are and not what they are carrying, Blue(violet) normals, that will change when hidden genes come out

Nice grey fella, keep the good food up to him while hes in a big moult and changing owners/home at the same time.

Some good lookers and some Baldy heads in that lot :bow:

Lovely big feet too :thankyou:

Is nothing to worry about, she is probably not ingesting much at all. Some birds enjoy the feeling of biting it, but she may be feeling she is lacking something in the cuttle bone. It is not a high source of calcium so she wont overdose on it or get ill. Let her go- the only downside is they go through alot :thankyou:

haha Agree with Kaz, you are there by now (unless you chickened out?) and I hope you are enjoying or at least not terrified of the people there :thankyou: Give us a run down when you get back

Congrats on the little family, are they showing colour yet?

haha yep dont ya just want to itch them. I have a couple I can

Crown of Thorns More spikes Sorry I got rained out working yesterday so came home and got the camera out

Little pied chick looks good in the nest, are you still breeding many Rec pieds?

heehee,dont you feel sorry for them some days. A couple of mine have pins from their brow to between the shoulders. Had to baby a few this week as they were really feeling the moult this time around, I havent seen such a severe moult in ages.. Love your birdhouse

Been away this weekend :hooray: he was stretching, and has new flights coming through so is showing a bit of skin

Got the camera out today, birds going through a severe moult although most have almost finished now. Few bald spots, lots of feathers on the ground, some missing tails- not looking pretty at all in my aviary at the moment Few from the baby (and retiree) aviary Old pegleg still going strong Black ringer (from last time round- 2002) This fella is carrying a few bald spots Youngsters The nursing home gang I think the yellowface is 8 or 9 now and this little fella just so I dont leave him out, smooth as a baby's bum!!

I put this pair together a whle back after Jimmy was askking about spangle dom pieds, well I got one Nothing unusual I know but nice all the same (and yes mate if you were closer you could have him)

Cracking babies mate.

Garden centre, really small pot saucers. Can get them palm of your hand size. I use them in all my breeding cabinets for soft food
