I would split them up and see who is the culprit

Yes I agree with Dean they look to be long flighted and No 4 mainly looks like the secondary feathers are long also, Double the trouble. If you keep them they need to go with a bird with nice tight wings or you will double up on the problem.

Nice babies Dave

Thanks will look at that later

Thank you Aly but I haven't got my foot in a vet door yet but at least I have a pet shop, but gee she asjed me if I like snakes and I sqirmed a little and she said what about lizards and I said better than snakes, BUt she she replied she won't touch the snakes either so shooooo.

That is really looking great Kaz, I am going to make a perch set like that better than banging your head all the time

Why I feel special A post just to me

Yes that's my answer to everything keep busy and it sometimes work.

Sorry Kaz for going off your post but I couldn't help myself when I saw Feathers reply How are you and Ken today?

Glad to see you here Feathers sounds like you are going to very busy, Yes I am still kicking Hope you can drop in every now and again AND crickey it is hot here today, what 's like over there.

Thanks Kaz I hope it never happens againg because the breeder couldn't believe she made it . She is still looking healthy but it is hotter today. Trying to cool everything down.

Yesterday my best hen the one in my signature had some kind of turn. I went out to have a cuppa and watch the birds when I saw her on the aviary floor on her side spinning and flipping, my first reaction was to run to her thinking she was caught in something and then I thought a redback bit her as I have had a couple in the aviaries. I didn't know what to do I put her in a holding cage and she was flipping every where so then put in a show cage so she couldn't hurt herself any more. My first thought was vet but it was 30 plus here and the trip would of killed her, it's over 45minute drive. I held her and she was much carmer and I managed to get her to drink some water she looked spaced out and when I put her back in the cage because it was too hot to hold her she just laid there like she was dying and then she would start again. She couldn't stand on her feet. I rang a breeder with over 30 years experience and he said epileptic fit they get the as we do, said it was from the heat and while talking to him she went all quite so I thought she died and when I hung up went out their and she was fine looked a Little groggy but alive. So I rang the vet and he said the same as the breeder and with her drinking the water must of saved her anyway if she does again he wants to see her. She is now in a holding cage with spark for energy replacement and probotic and looking perfect. SO WEIRD BUT WHAT A FRIGHT I GOT as I have never seen anything like it. If I wasn't home and had gone to work like I was meant to I probably would of lost her. Has anyone else had anything like this

Really funny, Hello Feathers welcome back

Hello Feathers haven't seen you around for ages

Oh gee Kaz that makes me feel so much better

I must be dumb on this computer as I can't find it in the events

They are looking good Uli, nice lot of babies

Who is the breeder?

I so very pleased all went well Kaz and it would of looked really special with 2 beautiful old hearses driving along the road. It really sounds like a very special send out you both would of made him proud

Good luck with your hearse and I hope all goes well, my thoughts are with you all

Up and until now touch wood I haven't had french moult, some breeders around here that do cull any subject that may be a carrier and There are a couple of breeders believe that breeding in the hot months contributes to french molt and also 1 breeder just had a couple of nest of french moult from birds that have never had it before and said it's getting hot and the birds are worn out and that's why they got it. This french molt is a mild case where the feathers and tail grow back. Last a year another breeder a beginner breeder through the year and everything was good and he decided to breed in December January and all the babies had french moult, So you tell me if there's any truth to the story but to me it's enough not to want to breed in heat.

Poor little cosmo, I hope he is okay

I totally agree Nubbly. This year i have been trying hard to breed good greens not blues because without good greens you get no where fast. And actually I have quite a few nice greens now light and dark but still need to focus on grey green and greys.

Hi Kathleen Angel is gorgeous and your little babies are looking really healthy

Thanks Anne101 - obviously, got your vote for my 101st post... will send you my address offline, so you can send me a free bird... From Kaz... maybe 2 hours slave duty cleaning in the birdroom So much love, so much support... mmmmmmmm ... Kaz, I already pick up the kids, clean the house, vacuum the bird room, do soft seed, bird vegies preparation, dust the bird room, set up nice music for the birds, massage them, pluck their bird-eyebrows, work full time, and wait on Liv hand and foot - 2 hours of slave duty should be a breeze. thank you one and all, for soooooooooooooooooooooo much support. lets hope Splat gets her full blown circular saw for her travel cages (and she can send me a bird in one for my 100th post ) Good looking travel box, by the way.
