I served some new seeds today, and oh dear what a chaos. Konrad was there first, and wouldn't let Figaro even taste it, so I ended up serving some outside the cage as well. Konrad was sure that I gave Figaro something better than she had in the usual foodbox, and had to get out and check it out. Apple was also served for the first time, with great success. Someone is moulding =P Some candy from the nature outside, they simply love it! Konrad decided to take a bath for the first time ever, I had to get her wet belly on a picture, een though it wasn't enough light for the picture The new seeds are great! Figaro shows his best side, as usual^^ Feeding Konrad through the cage "- I'm so handsome, don't you think?" Konrad is convinced Figaro's seeds are better tasting than hers Over and out from Sweden Jen

Thank you :bluebudgie:

Adorable :yellowhead:

Doh, I actually updated the wrong post before. Here are some pics of Konrad (my little hen) and her new boyfriend Figaro. So Figaro is starting to grow up... he is slowly trying to get the grip about the whole making babies thing, but he isn't the brightest :yellowhead: Here are some updated pics and videos on the two lovebirds Bad hairday for Figarol It's always the cheapest toys that turns out to be the best Figaro feels sorry for himself after Konrad turns down his "love" offer FIgaro finally got his irisring (it's called that in english too, right?). Also, see how they're both on the tiniest piece of wood in the cage :budgiedance: I think Figaro is trying to feed up Konrad so she is ready for babies =P Posing Doesn't it look like he's smiling? Fatty! Fluffy budgies Cuddles after they got back home from vacation Figaro shows his best side ^^ Figaro is checking out his new toy, Konrad is still catching up on sleep after the hard trial of being away from home. Konrad on the favorite branch And a little video of Figaro telling me how nice it is to be back home again. Please note the little feather flying to the left of him in the beginning, I guess he wanted to keep it :budgiedance: http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=52zu5hy The last video is a bit.. dirty. Well, at least Figaro wants it to be, but Konrad has a different idea about things http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=6app4l1 That was all for this round :budgiedance: Jen

Aprinter has the most amazing pattern, I LOVE that face, so cute!

Merlin <3

Atlas has the most beautiful colours, love it!

Blinkie is a cutiepie

Thank you, yea it's turning out to be a popular toy actually. Today I changed the cage, and took them both out, but since Konrad can't fly I made them a little playcenter on the floor with the playground, some hirsh, branches from outside with wet leaves and whatnot, and Figaro decided he would be a runner budgy today as well, I didn't see him fly once hahaha. I also like that you can remove and add toys on the playground as you wish, since there are a lot of slots to put them in. I bought it in Germany, I think it was made by Ferplast that makes all the other stuff for budgies over here.

Thank you for the comments I'm hoping Figaro is a boy as well, but it's hard to show the color properly on the video, since the quality isn't that great once it's uploaded on the web :ausb: Hopefully you could all enjoy some quiet preening and the joy of crawling next to a piece of broccoli anyway

Merlin is indeed a sweetheart, none can pose quite like him

Thank you all for the feedback! Here are some updates, things are progressing wonderuflly here, Figaro and Konrad are the best of friends, even though Figaro probably doesn't realize Kornad wants to do naughty things with him later on Some new pictures and videos follow below, I hope you guys enjoy it =) Some love and cuddling http://video.tinypic.com/player.php?v=4qy1egi Silly Figaro! an acrobat with problems deciding what to do Konrad gets overexcited over the new Lemon balm I hear it's good for the skin! Random pictures from the past few days

Simply adorable

Aww <3

Thank you both Oh, I really hope Figaro is a boy, but I guess it wouldn't matter too much if he ends up being a girl either.. as long as they go well together. I'm imagining that if they work well together now, it shouldn't be a problem to keep the two together if Figaro turns out to be a hen as well, or can that change when they are old enough to breed? And yes, I'm really happy that they got along so well! I was kinda planning to monitor those two closely for at least a few weeks, and separating them each night so they could sleep and make sure they wouldn't fight. It's almost the opposite, I can't get Figaro out of the cage in the evening, he crawls up close, close to Konrad and hides behind her, so I let them stay together. I'm not sure if we're imagining it, but I can see a couple of wingfeathers on Konrad... they are only showing about 1½ cm on each side, but still... I'm keeping my hopes up, perhaps love can heal everything? I'm so happy for my little duckling, she has finally found love

Hi there Elly, yes I use quarantine, and Figaro wasn't allowed into Konrads cage before we knew that all was alright, no worries := I have mentioned that I planned the quarantine in another thread, but I forgot to mention it here. We were kinda hoping Figaro was a little boy... I thought he looked like a little boy budgie <-- Figaro Well, even if it's a she, they get along great, and they are totally cuddly.

Hahaha, thats adorable!

So, little Figaro has finally arrived, and Konrad is totally excited! Figaro is a cuddly little thing, loves to taste everything and wants to sit close, close to Konrad at all times. Konrad is still getting used to the attention and the company, but so far it's gone better than I ever hoped for. Figaro was put into Konrads cage 2 days ago, and it was love at first sight (well, almost anyway). Figaro jumped straight up to Konrad, who was so chocked she fell off her wood perch, but after that it went a little smoother. Since Figaro can fly, he landed on top of the cage, and that wasn't very popular with the little lady. Konrad attacked his feet and made the angry dolphin sound, after all, she's the queen and wants to sit on the highest spot! Once Figaro came into the cage again it went a lot better, and they have been kissing, cuddling eachother and playing along just great. The biggest change is actually that Konrad eats everything that Figaro eats. I mean, no Kräcker/candy sticks for 3 days, whats going on??? I mean, it's a good thing, I didn't like that Konrad was picky about food and wouldn't touch the other stuff, but still.. such a great change after almost 2 years at our place, and within 3 days she is eating veggies, normal birdfood, boiled egg and whatnot. It's indeed wonderful. Konrad has also gone through another big change.. I'm starting to think maybe she was a bit depressed before Figaro arrived, even though we didn't notice it. She is climbing around like mad, even leaving the cage and jumping around, trying to fly with her little duck-wings and following Figaro. Since she crashes, I end up carrying her to wherever Figaro is sitting, but she looks so proud when she's sitting next to him upon the bookcase :ausb: Since this is only my second budgy, I'm far from an expert, but I'm starting to think that Konrad either was a lot older than the 8 weeks the birdshop told me that she was when she arrived, or she had a very traumatic experience behind her. Figaro comes from family that had their budgie couple breeding, and the babies was bought up together with a human family and had loads of fun, got a lot of flight training and he just gives a very stable impression. As an example, the day after Figaro arrived, he let me hold him on my finger and feed him some candy as well as stroking his belly. :angel1: Some media is included below, I hope you all enjoy it!

Wonderful birds Feathers I love the one that just wants to get OUT! =P

That is insanely cute! I want them all please, could you pack em down and send them with directions to Sweden please? How adorable

Thank you all for the feedback, here are some sleepy pictures taken at 6.30 this morning. As a few of you might already know, Konrad isn't an early morning bird and she prefers going back to sleep until the clock passes at least 8AM (usually what she does, is to look at me when I take off the cover, then turn her head around and put it under her wing and ignore me for a couple of hours). Sorry for the poor quality of the pics, but I didn't want to disturb her with the flash when she was about to go back to bed http://upload8.postimage.org/680971/photo_hosting.html http://upload8.postimage.org/680984/photo_hosting.html

Hehe thank you, yea I guess I take a lot of pics, but she is my only pet as of now, so she is somewhat of a favorite target for pictures Glad you enjoyed the show

A little video of when Konrad entered the new big cage for the first time a couple of days ago. Sorry for the poor quality, youtube made it worse than it actually is I'm afraid. Enjoy And I still think she dances like a boy budgie =P

They are simply adorable Feathers!
