Neat

Did you try to put them back in ???

Sounds like you and the family are bonding with him well

If he is one that will get an irsis ring it should come around the 4 - 6 month mark ( these will be a grey color)

Did the Ice thaw ??? * looking forward to the pics

Liv come make mine :D .. When your not busy

Are her poos Larger then Normal - this is a sign too ! She does look at bit large there But would need a better picture like the others have said. Also take the flash off, and use a light or natural night This -- ^-- Is what an Egg bum looks like

If they were smashed by the parents - I read on here somewhere to trim the tail's ... But by the sound of the 1st egg disappeared and little traces of the shell was found I will assume that it was actually eaten. I hope that No3 is okay and a great breeding time lays ahead

Great start Maes, I look forward to reading your jorney

okay Now if that isn't telling us what their employees are like I really don't know what is......

Jenene, make sure that you cleaned the bottom of that avairy too , as birds can easly peck and eat the mice / rat poo

Normal when chicks are weaned, they will loose some weight, as they are not feeding from their parents - Also change of food too as mum and Dad were giving them what they eat, Now they take in what they eat I haven't seen Hulled oats in a supermarket before, I know that the produce store sells them .... Ask them if they sell it or if they can get it ordered in !!!

YOU CAN SEE THE HEN HERE ^ It's vent looks large and laid an egg the next day

great, fingerscrossed, if not now won't be far off it

Well I now know that Starsky was an Olive not a greygreen

Can you put a pick up of the granules???? I was going to suggest crush the pellets? I am not a fan of them either but it is a FAD that some vets here are saying to use too - Hmmmm But they aren't avain ones though LOL ... I was under the impression from her symptoms that it was baterial .... If you are worried about which one worked - Use the anibotics first then change to the Pellets / granuals .....

Oh.. Sorry to hear this Feathers & Kaz .... Hope that the new pairing is a better match

that is very interesting renee - i hope they make a full recovery

Av, update?? egg yet??

Awesome

Hey all. I;ve been reading through some old post of whate members use and have as a base in their avairy... I came across Sand, which is layed over either cement, timber, bricks, lino, Gyprock - Now i am wondering how does that work? members were talking about play sand, beach sand etc so which is the best option? When cleaning it, How is that done? With a poop scooper ( like a kitty litter one) or is it all tossed and reaplaced???? I am thinking about using CFS Compressped Fibro Cement! it looks and feels like cement but sooo much lighter. and now seeing the sand, I am thinking about using that too?? Thoughts please

It is a contraverse dissue some say Only young birds can be infected by their parents who have been infected by their parents and so on. Some say it is like PBFD and can be tranmitted to others via saliva and dust etc - Others have breed with Fm budgies with no ill affect at all - It is one of those topics that is hard to be correct with as EVERYONE has their own opinion ...

WOW - Thanks for sharing Elly,

Agree with what they ^ said

Oh Dave, You got Bette. I couldn't take her as I know she will be picked on here. She is looking fantastic, compared to when Missylu first got them All the birds were in a HORRIBLE state we sat there treating all the birds clipping up over grown beaks, worming, trwating scaley face ( we cried when we seen her) it was soo sad, and well missylu has a soft heart and wouldn't leave one behind!!! I am sure they will be as happy with you as they were with Missylu congrats
