Neat

Me too I agree... normal baby behaviour. Lets hope you have energy for tomorrows free flight (Laughing out loud) ...

If you want go back there and tell them you bought a girl and this is a boy .... (Laughing out loud) sorry ... Like the others have said Boys are much easier then girl Bugies .... And he is a cutie

I learnt that I have fingers that bleed after trying to catch the Teils with my hands

okay cause i have the oral / back of the neck one from my vet ... THought I might treat all birds ( quarrintne was have had this ) with that too since most of them were in the breeders avairy

Thanks Elly for your help too mate

As my base is Grass the chances of worms and other Yuckies its higher to that then a cement base avairy so I need to do this often ..... ... I think all birds should be wormed 2 times a year Mine will get it 4 timesSo Kaz with the Iverc stuff can that be added to water too ???

okay better with a Colbat due to the Dark Factors(Dark Mauve) Medium ( colbalt) Light ( sky blue ) Dark to Dark will give you all dark babiesDark to med with give you 50% dark 50% medium ....Violet to Violet will give you smaller birds ( remember ing from reading here ) But I am sure will give you violet ...Carring the gene ( being split) is as good as being that gene for the outcome of babies anyway if I am reading my notes correctly (Laughing out loud) ... Hopefully someone more expereice with this can correct me and advise you better ... It is hard learnig the genetic isn't itI am going to start a colbalt rec male to my Mauve hen hoping for violets hehehe

At least it's not splayed

Sweet ... That is awesome news .... Don't need to change a thing ... I asked cause the breeder I sell my babies too told me to get some UV light ??? This I thought was weird

Hey again.... I am beinging to collect breeding cabinets and will be stacking them in one my avairies which is located under an enclosed pergola area ... It has a Fluro light located approx 2 m off to the side and 2 m in front of the avairy .... Should I change this globe and if so to what ???? Thank you

Hey everyone, I have a few questions .... Those of you with Aviaries of birds How do you catch them when you need to either Worm/ Ivermectin or check them .... I usually use a net as my avairy birds are not hand tamed. Is this okay or are there other methods ... I ask this as the flights are due for wormer Oral is the best way I know as you know that each has had it proper dose ... Or am I better off adding it to their water ??? Thoughts please

And the best thing is that he knew what was male and female .....

THANK YOU IKON ..... I understand the sex link part but wasn't sure on the others ....

I agree with Kaz.... 1. looks way too young look at the beak it is still black tipped .... 2. something doesn't look "right" ...with the feet.... maybe a case of splayed legs that wasn't corrected ... Does it perch??.. i think it is male but that is me .....

Thanks Kaz .it took a while for me it get it when i was 'learning However ..... I am glad that i didn't stuff it up (Laughing out loud) ......

So there are 3 birds in the picture all together???

Update, Did the vet re: clipp the wings??? And did he charge you again???? I hope that you set him right about being a responseable owner

INDZ ... I have goose bumps ....... Wow that is truely beautiful

Jimmy there also needs to be a min of a 2 foot ( 60cm gap) between nestboxes too ...... This may help with fighting hens ... BUT NOT ALWAYS as I found out the hard way!

Visually you can see a bird carring the Violet gene A very nice breeder showed me * thanks.....Now if I have it correct below you will see hoe to tell if it is carring the Violet gene...Where it is circled you can see the colour difference .....

I am sure that if they were hand tamed then they would ask for alot more (Laughing out loud) ...... But it was a shock But a good shock ...

hehe i would be too .... So can we see the picture of the winners

I love light babies with big black button eyes.....

YES .... That is how dave explained to too me

Sorry guys FAQ - BREEDING TABLE In the link above it doesn't say cock or hen .....
