Feathers

A couple of photos of Pascale, who has settled right in at home. Sitting on me while I play with the computer or chat on the phone. I think he wanted to have a turn as well. This is where Mum talks And this is where she taps... But what does she use this for? It's very hard Ah, he gets cuddles, just like me... Feathers

The web host site may have been down when you tried, Shawna. I just clicked and it cam up no problems Feathers

Just wondering how she is doing.

Thanks Paul. Considering I didn't want anything too big in case I move in the next 12 months or so, its a great start I have been lying here trying to figure out the best way to add on another section when Karen sells one of hers.

Well, the actual birds are 'Feathers Flock'. I quite like the idea of having Feathers or Feathered in the name. The other ones I thought of are: Feathers Flats or Perch Palace. Jacquie has been watching too many Friends DVD's lately as she came up with Central Perch So, along with Feathered Nest we have 4 names to pick from so far. Decisions, decisions. Feathers.

Oh, the poor baby. I'm glad you found the tumour and hope he is okay. Feathers.

He is very handsome. Happy birthday for yesterday. Feathers.

Bea, I love the photo you have used for the site title Haven't looked through it yet - just had to tell you that Feathers.

It's finally here!!! Bubbles (Karen and her other half, Ken) picked up the car trailer and bought it over, while I impatiently waited for my son and another friend to turn up so we could go get it. A bit of a drama happened when they were trying to move it - one end came loose (it is riveted back on again now - turns out the end section was an add on). While they were struggling to get it to the trailer a couple of extra hands turned up and it got on easily. Back home we came where it was dropped off on the front yard. Karen and Ken then had to race to get the trailer back before the garage closed so it didn't cost us more. We pop riveted the back end back on before my neighbours came and helped us take it up my steep driveway to put in position. Turns out it is way to big to put it where I had planned, so it will be moved again before the birds go in. Now I have a bit of time to give it a good vinegar wash and set it up how I want it. Finally home My New Aviary The Main Section (Was Originally 2 sections) The Breeder Room or or possible future toddler section Side view I'm soo happy Now all I need is a name... Feathers.

Great cage Madeline. I have some birds in one now, in quarantine. It will probably become the permanent home of my 'special needs' budgies :oliveb: Feathers.

Thanks for the help Sarah, Kennards was the first hire place we tried, but it closes too early :oliveb: Yay!!!! I can't believe it is actually going to happen... so happy :ausb: I can't wait to see it again either, Bea

I think the cere is just a little washed out on the second picture. He is a really lovely bird. He will grow up to be very handsome I think. Feathers.

I thought they both looked male, I can't see much white on the cere in the second. Can you get a front on picture? Feathers.

Hi, I am wishing all the best for your Budgie. Send loving and positive thoughts his way. Feathers.

Yes, I know exactly what they are. They are beautiful

I know, thanks. I found a hire place open till 7pm, but the guy thinks it is due back tomorrow. So, I might keep you on standby Otherwise I will just wait until the weekend to organise it. I am such an "I want it, and I want it now" person... Feathers.

you know, if I don't get it organised to pick up on Thursday I might just have to go and visit it I have all these wonderful plans for it and I'm itching to get started. I know, I know.... I am a bit of a 'sad case' Can you imagine it. "Hello, Win, haven't got anyone organised to pick up the aviary yet, but can I come and sit with it for a while?" Feathers.

Hi. Budgies lay eggs every 2 days, this is why there are more now. They sit on the eggs to keep them warm. Some hens pluck down the front so that they have more body contact with the eggs. The feathers will grow back normally after she has finished incubating her clutch. This is perfectly normal behaviour, she is just trying to be a good mum. The first egg should hatch 18 days after she started to sit on them and then every 2 days after that. Hope this helps. Feathers.

Both of the budgies are gorgeous Chip is indeed handsome, they are such regal little creatures, aren't they?

I love Thistle, Echo and Elle. I love the look of all your blue normals eating too. Maybe I should look out for some to go in my aviary... if I ever find a way of getting it home. Feathers

Not any more The guy I asked can't do it today, he can do it Thursday but the trailer hire place closes too early. Back to square 1. Feathers.

Great birds, Kelly. I liked the last boy too.. nice mask. Feathers.

Love your new boys, Paul. I'll leave the genetics to the experts. Your beautiful birds that I bought should be in a large aviary within the next week :budgiedance: Feathers.

How exciting, your first rung budgies :budgiedance: Congrats Feathers.

So sorry, don't give up completely though, check checking ads in your locals papers in case someone advertises a found bird. Feathers.
