CheekyChucky

I hope she is okay bea and gets well fast.

He could possibly be shy and just getting used to his new home and surroundings. My first budgie was very quite at first too. Just to ease your mind if he doesn't become more active, like bea said take him to the vet for a check up. :budgiedance:

My Chucky lies like that too along her ladder. Its so sweet :budgiedance:

Thanks guys!!!! I did this thing i call my 'happy dance' and ran in a few circles. Hahaha If anyone had seen me they would think I was nuts!!! I also let out my trademark 'eeeeek' noise which I do when i get happy!!! eeeeeeek!!!!! okay i will calm down now ......................ahhhhhh!!!!! :budgieddance: :D :budgiedance:

Jess's first egg hatched today!!!!!! My first egg......ever!!!! I'm so excited. Jess and her lil blob!!!

Heheh he is tooooooo cute!!! :hap: He is exactly want I want :hap:

Thanks guys. I have put her in a large cage inside the aviary and this morning she is doing fine hanging from the top of the cage and whistling so all is well. I think Oliver will be okay too, he was sitting on top of her cage chatting away. I am going to start on the other aviary this weekend. I just hate seeing her confined when all the other birds have free flight. The vet we took her to was great!! I would recommend her. If anyone wants more info about a good caring vet, let me know. :ausb:

After our trip to the vet today it was found that Gloria is not in fact egg bound, but has a hernia!!! Who would have thought a budgie could get one of those? The vet gave her a shot to dissolve any eggs inside her and said apart from her bum lump she will have a happy and full life. I do have to move her to a cage of all female birds though because if her mate Oliver was to infact mate with her, the hernia would interfere with normal egg laying. Not sure how poor Oliver will handle having his lovely lady away from him, might also be an excuse for more birdies!!!! :hap: So really my news is not bad. It just means now that i will have to hurry up and build my new 'ladies only' aviary :hap:

Yesterday i noticed that Gloria is very swollen around her vent. Upon closer examination it appears she may be egg bound. :hap: My poor baby. She has an appointment at the vet at 3pm today. I am very nervous. I am like a nervous mum. hahah The vet told me that she may have to stay in overnight if she is in fact egg bound. I'll keep you posted on how she is. Everyone keep your fingers crossed for her. :hap:

So sorry to hear that bea!! Chin up and hugs coming your way!!!

Today Stubby came out to play. Chucky was playing on the table with some broccoli. Stubby ran up to the cage door about 3 times before he climbed out and walked ever so slowly towards Chucky and the Broccoli. He stood there had a nibble then climbed the ladder of Chucky's gym and just sat there. Silly little Chucky flapped her wings, gave Stubby a heart attack and he took off into the kitchen. He was sitting on the floor so i picked him up and put him back onto the gym where he just sat. A little puffed but okay. Next thing I knew he was climbing all over the cage, whistling crazily and chewing anything he could. He even let me stand next to the cage without him running or flying away. I think if I do this with him everyday he will settle down and maybe even become tame. Here are some pics of him today...hope you like them Look out here I come!! He would never let me stand this close. Seeing things from Chucky's side

Hehehe they are so cute. Funny lil buggers

So now you have to go an buy another one because the roof is all bent. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Whenever I say I'm going to jump in the shower my hubby tells me not to break the base. :(Laughing out loud): That's a really good price. When I was reading through the thread I thought you were going to post something like $179.99, which no-one would have ever guessed. (Laughing out loud) bluey2!!!! I always say i'm gonna jump in the shower too!!! heheh I'm gonna use what your hubby says hehehe can't you just see someone actually jumping in the shower!!! weird

okay okay I'll tell ya !!! it was $160. I bought one similar at the start of the year and i paid over $300. So when i saw it i jumped on it hahahah

Everyones so close

Hey all Thought I would share some cute pics of Chucky climbing on our curtains!! She just love to climb up and do somersaults on her way down. Its so cute. She will hang upside down and make this cute little chuckling noise like what she has done is the funniest thing in the world!!! This photo was taken looking up at her!! Look at her little chicken legs!!! hahaha This is her trying to escape the camera!!! Hope you like the pics

Hi all!!! I bought this awesome aviary off ebay this weekend!!! It was such a bargain!!! Its only a year old made out of colourbond and measures 2m high 1.6m wide and 1.6m deep. I am going to join it to my existing avairy eventually. How much do you think I paid?

Hi !!! Nice to meet you. Love your pics and jojo looks like such a cutie You have inspired me to get my budgie chucky into art. She is forever chewing paper. hmmm what a great idea!!! See you around

That is really good to hear!! He sounds as though he really does want the best for his birds!!! Pity there is not more breeders around like that. Can't wait to see your new addition!!!

I have 2 girls with the same problem, they do fly but not too well. They are healthy too otherwise.

Thank you zebra. Chucky is a really gorgeous turquoise green. Her feathers really shimmer in the sun I have never seen a budgie i didn't think was cute

thanks I think i'll skip the quails I don't want more mess I will try and find out about the mint. I will try anything. I just hate mice yuck yuck yuck!!!!!!! I bought the 2 birds as a breeding pair and apparently they had bred together before but i don't really know for sure. When you say they eat them, do they eat the whole thing, shell and all? The eggs were gone and no shell was on the ground either. Thanks guys for your advice. :sad:
