Feathers

Very funny....

Hey, I said he was nice The best thing would be to actually go along to a budgie club meeting, or a show if you can. Like I said, it was a real eye opener and from a glance across a hall you can see the difference, it is remarkable.

Karen, is there any such thing as a boring day in your aviary?? Beeper is just as gorgeous as his siblings, beautiful colouring. Feathers.

Boy, that Merlin really knows how gorgeous he is, doesn't he Great pics, and Pretty, is just that.. very pretty. I love her. Feathers.

Congrats on Chilli. Jacquie has put her order in for Chilli or Vinnie I think. She fell totally in love with Vinnie yesterday, I told her how much chance she had Good luck with the rest of the chicks Feathers.

Oh no, I feel awful. I had gone around to the side gate to yell out when you didn't hear the doorbell and the dogs came around barking at me. I noticed the picket but didn't even think that it may have been a new thing. I obviously bought the dog's attention to it I am so glad she is okay, or I never would have forgiven myself She is okay? I am so, so sorry, Karen :( I have been in tears since I read this, which is a horrible, horrible feeling, but absolutely nowhere near how awful you must have been feeling till you found her...

yeah, (cough) tell it like it is Hath Hate to say, after only having been to one Budgie Club meeting and judged beginner birds once, I would have taken a quick look and then dismissed him It really was an eye opener. Stunning bird though he is, he isn't a show bird.

Oh Vinnie is an absolute stunner, good choice for the best baby. Donut and Golly were taught by Mum, or someone how hard you can bite. It was fantastic. Karen's aviary is sooo well set up. It got to 41.5 degrees celcius yesterday (106.7 degree Fahrenheit), so puting a cooler in the bird room was such a brilliant idea, the kindergarten kids were loving it. The poor humans in the house got no special attention or air conditioning, just the birds I get to adopt a beautiful little yellow girl (? - I didn't look) that had a hard start to life and got pecked. Karen suggested "Bonus" as a name, because that's what it is.. a bonus birdie for me, but Jacquie wants to call it "Spesh", cause she is so special. Anyone who ever gets the chance should visit. Her aviary'(s) are a work in progress and very well thought out, with lots of great ideas I want to steal when I get to build one. Thanks so much for your time, Karen, especially in that awful heat, which I believe -after our cold windy start - we are going to duplicate this afternoon. Feathers.

Oh, they are super cute, especially the last couple of pics. Sonrisa is starting to look like she may be a little girl, no idea on the others yet. Feathers.

Great video. I loved how some just kept coming back for more . I also had a bit of a look around your site. It's great. Feathers.

Absolutely fantastic photos... lovely birds. 9th picture is exactly what my Dekota looked like before she moulted, and before I knew that such a thing as a yellow face type 2 existed I thought she was the most amazingly coloured little girl I had seen. Feathers

ditto

Fantastic news, it's always good to hear about these little ones ,that are sick, recovering. It is amazing how fast they react to the right meds too. Feathers.

oh, they are all just so adorable. It's a shame they have to grow up

There are some very lovely birds there. Feathers.

Oh no, was that the photo-mosaic puzzle you got for christmas?

hmm, I replied, but obviously it didn't post. They are beautiful bubs, looking great, and I love proud dad on the nestbox perch too. Feathers

I hope Sonrisa picks up. You are doing a great job. Good luck. Feathers

They are all beautiful babes

They are all really pretty budgies I like them all.

Are her eyes red? Oops, we posted at the same time.... I am sticking to creamino - the red eyes fit. Have a look in this page: http://www.budgieplace.com/c_ino.html

It is possible as you don't know what each parent may be 'split' to. Were these babies bred in a breeding cage? Occassionally you may get another bird fathering one or more of the children too, especialy if they are colony bred.

Creamino was the first thing I thought too. Please keep in mind that I am no expert though

Hi Budgie lover, I am leaning towards female too. You should be able to tell definitely one way or the other if it goes into breeding condition. Feathers.

Yay, I finally got to see his pressie's, I love pressies. Happy 2nd Birthday Mr Blinkie. From Feathers, Adelene, Tealah, Keely, Beau, Dekota, Zanthie, oh-oh, Sora, Kyan, Melika, Curio and Bella!!
