FAR OUT 23 EGGS ...... KAZ NO OMLETE (Laughing out loud) .... Lucky I had my fingers crossed for plenty of fertile eggs eh???

Hey all ..... Dave Built me another aviary The poor thing was sick and took him 3 days but he did it just for me ....... And so that I would stop nagging him (Laughing out loud) .... As I said in a previous post it has no base just grass double bricked and because I would like to gets some quails he has villa bord the tops of the bricks so nothing can get in or out .... I must say he did a fatastic job Not bad for a Gyprocker (Laughing out loud) He even leveled it out ..Hence the bottle of water on the top . . . I now get Black Cocky's more Lori's and even the galahs are flocking to the gum trees near them and having a good old talk He even divided it for me so that the Teils had a new home too I orignally wanted breeders in one side and Flights in the other But due to getting tiels in short notice I couldn't leave them in a tiny cage .... It is more deep then wide and they all love it ... It's fitted with home made Budgie swings ( I made hehe) .... I am happy and i think the best thing is I AM OFF DAVES CASE hehehehe .... Now on to another one HEHEH .... Please Dave!!!!!!

Up date on Gypsy's (TCB) Foster Chick ( HER LITTLE SISTER).... This Bub was hatched on the 1/3/08 it's eyes only opend 2 days ago - For some reason Starchsky Chicks were dying off ...

Guess who is Posting tonight (Laughing out loud) .... Another one for you all .... Is there an all in one for birds ??? Like the Dogs all in one heart wormer and flea thingy.... I know that you shouldn't treat if there are no signs But for Newly Bought or given birds Where you have no idea of what they have / Haven't got - So Example Any new Bird I get / Buy I worm Now if it has Mites/Lice or God knows what else is there something I could use??????

Hey all ... I am sure that i have read on here that usually after 8 days of mating is when an egg is due to be layed. So my question to you is After witnessing the hole "Getting Jiggy With It" 8 days is today and No Egg .... Yet she is larger down below and her "Bits" are Dark Pink She has been forever in and out of the nest box Is she about to Lay or can it be longer then 8 days ...... EggBound Shouldn't be an issue as she has PLENTY of Calcium and etc ..... This is My first Pair that I am Finally recording everything with and I really do not want to miss a beat ... She is a Dom Pied Clearwing and he is an Albino This is both their first time Thanks Guys

Hey All Please Correct Me If I Am Wrong..... Below is a list of the Babies Milestones so to speak, From the Day it hatches until 4 Months of age It will give you ( those that do not mark or record your hatchlings)a guide of what to look forward to... 1st - 5th Day - Eyes Begin to Open 7th Day - Primary Feathers start to grow 8th Day - Hold it's head up and may take it's first step 9th Day - Tail Feathers start to grow 12th Day - All Down feathers have grown in 17th Day - Has reached the weight of 1 ounce (30grms) 28th Day - Flight & Tail Feathers have almost reached Full length, Can Fly and My Fledge 38th Day - Plumage Fully formed & The Colour will be duller the Parents 3 - 4 Months - Prenup Molt has reached sexual maturity ...HOW EVER NOT MENTALLY MATURE TO BREED YET

You are doing a fantastic job, Keep up the good work and remember nothing is too hard!!!! I am sooo proud HEHEHEHE

I love the BUDGIE MAKEOVERS Home edition (Laughing out loud)hehehhe Enjoy and have fun with it :beer:

How old are the Birds??? Have they learnt to Fly????? Vets Usually charge about $10 to clipp wings better to pay $$$ and have relief that it is done properly rather then have "A GO " and get the blood vessles Like Kaz Said BOTH WINGS .... One wing doesn't balance the bird..... P.S IS THAT LETTUCE OR CABAGE IN THEIR CAGE

1. what do i use to line the bottom of the cage? newspaper/ Scap paper .... 2. what kind of food can they eat? i'm getting 2 babies AGREE WITH KAZ softer food ( Fruit and Veg) for bubs always use seperate containers for their SEEDS and F& V 3. is buying in bulk better? for 2 budgies? Yes it is Cheaper However Not fresher 4. do they really need to have coal? my friend told me they need it to digest properly No must be talking about Grit ..... I don't use it only in my breeders 5. what is cuttlebone? White Long thing:blush: 6. do their wings really need to be clipped? NO LET BABIES LEARN TO FLY ..... If you are wanting to train then Yeah clip them 7. how often should the cage be cleaned? once a week INCLUDE FOOD DISHES TOO 8. if i let them fly around the house, will they come back to the cage? TRAIN FIRST

HEHE Clutch I remember when I called them a bunch of eggs heheh THey aren't flowers either (Laughing out loud) .... Ahhhh we all learn ... Good luck with everything and don't forget to poct pics of Bubs we love pink jelly beans ( babies ) .... All the Best

Nice little aviary, Don't get too many birds (Laughing out loud) ........Can't wait to see it all done up with the New addition is their new Home ... GOOD LUCK :budgiedance:

okay Guys .... I am unable to foster these chicks due to the health risk involved for my own breeders .... The Vet trip was very informative ... Crop Feeding wasn't required only spoon feeding.... Ivermic was given to treat Mites, Lice and Scaley face on Birds and Cooplex for the Nestboxes and Cabinets that were recieved ... All in all Missy will Have a great bonding Time with the 2 little bubs .... As she has been hand feeding for 2 days Both the Vet and I adv her that it will get better to keep at it .... I will be checking in on Tuesday .....

ELLY ADD THIS TO FAQ .... HEHE Fantastic Karen ......

Well I may seem tough but I have a very soft middle (Laughing out loud) .... Fingers crossed we can do what we can ..... I have a EXTREMLY GOOD AVIAN VET 5 mins from me ( Very Lucky) .... Will update later this arvo

FYI ....... Going to treat and foster with my breeders ... All birds will have to be treated as theyare all in an aviary ( breeders 3 pairs) going to split the chicks finger crossed Mummy's accept them!!!!

Hey all ..... I am speaking to a few experienced breeders who have crop fed as I haven't yet .... I will also speak to me avian vet tomorrow to re: the invetricm ( Lice stuff) .... Fingers crossed we can do this together

I have the whole Standard Breeding aviary all on the top shelf 4 Nest boxes ( and now ) 3 Pairs had a fourth in there But she wanted the one that someone else was in .. Big Bird fight rolling on the floor squarking like no tomorrow ... ( the fighter is the daughter of the other fighter I had ... She is now in a flight aviary ..... THey other couples are all fine with each other and no problems .... I have had many chicks this way ... It is what works for me at the moment Until I can get Hubby to make the breeding cabinets up : )
