Lol Matt. Well done Dave, I need to do the weight watcher thing, I am not single but Greg told me my backside is as big as.... he aint't far wrong. I hate to look in the mirror also, so I think It is time for me to do something too , I actually made a NEWS thing LOOSE WEIGHT. haven't got around to it yet though lol But Dave I believe there is some one out there for everyone and I also believe that looks etc are skin deep. I prefer the person underneath . oh yeah and cuddly is good. lol I have found that pretty blondes or pretty girls are as dump as and so vain and men aren't much different. I had a friend that went out with a guy years ago and this guy spent 3 hours grooming his ugly face , unreal, that is meant to be what women do. what a put off. LOL He didn't look any better by the time he was finished but smelt nice lol.

Poor little fella, sorry for your lost.

I have seen them on line too but I don't fancy them much either.

Very Happy Birthday Kaz, i hope you had a lovely day.

I have deleted the bit where it says only one member can win only once a year, everyone has the chance to win every month, so please enter your birds Please to do not write of this topic, it is for entries only.

Hello Freestylebudgie. I would really say that your last bird must have been ill to die within a day. Most people that buy a bird from a pet shop bring them home in shoe boxes and I must of admit that I have done that once or twice, the birds are vary harder. The only thing that would really do a budgie in on a trip is the heat, I would never travel a bird over 32 degrees.I would travel in the morning but not arvo unless you have air con in car. I think there is a heat clause out there and some one might be able say what it is. When you choose your bird check for wet vent or pooy vent. ask to feel the bird and see if the keel bone the the centre of the chest is really sharp. any of these things leave it there. Check to see if it is bright eyed and bushy tailed lol but you know what I mean. and make sure it looks active, if it looks fluffed up leave it there too. I hope this helps. When I buy any birds they just go in the carry cage with seed and brought straight home and put in a quanintene cage ( I can never spell that word) lol. They get fresh seed, millet spray and water and left to settle in .

Hello BJ, welcome to the Forum. I am glad you still have a interest in the birds and it is a shame you can't them any more. Are from Manchester England?

Oh Dan that is what I should of whinged about 2 days ago, I also lost one of my best hens, But I was so scared it was my best cock until I picked her up , but still she was very important to my breeding program. My spangle line is dwindling away fast. I only have 3 brothers of my white boy left now......

My whinge is it is far to hot for my birds and for me. Just awful

What do they sell them for Kaz. Here you get $8.00 and they sell them for $20. mostly. green go cheap sometimes at particular shops.

He has french moult, it is a virus, the flight may grow back, most times they do.

Boy you have a generous pet shop Dan

Yeah know what you mean, you put them in the aviary and forget about them and one day you are really focusing on what's in there and yep you see this bird just standing out from the crowd and you wonder,hmm where are you from you catch it up and check the ring number and go check and wow, that bird was going to be culled , and you say to yourself , gee glad I kept that bird. lol This has happened to me and that bird has gone on to win best young bird in beginner at one show the only show I showed him at that year and he was in the run for the Diploma , if only he had of stayed on the perch lol He did go to the young bird shield and came 10th but his suffusion let him down and the best adult bird in beginners the following year at the shows I showed him at and also opposite sex to Champ bird in show. So you can see how careful you need to be.

Yeah I am finding it hard this year trying to get seed as I only ended up with about 50 chicks and most of them are keepers. Hoping for a better result this year breeding because I don't mind breeding some ordinary birds so I can get my seed etc. I have inquires at the moment for birds but they want violets and so does everyone . lol

Looking great , I only have cement floor still on my birdroom but i have purchased lino to go down but I need to get some of that flooring stuff masonite I think it is called to go under the lino yet. I hope to have it done before I start breeding again because I am sicking of breaking my little soft food plates.

I actually sold a few last year, I mean 2010, they were babies and I thought they looked **** so I took the to the pet shop and got $8.00 each and any way a week or so later I had a couple of friends that chase my birds tell me that there was this bird in the pet shop with my ring on and their son said she had a great head and he was considering buying her, but bought a couple of the others because this hen was grey green cinnamon but they did say she was really a light colour so I do think he did buy her. But my point is I went in there to have a look and here was this stunning cinnamon grey green hen but I couldn't see the light colour they were talking about. But I asked the girl how much and she said they are green $10.00 so I snatched her back. She has turned out to be a stunner and bred me some lovely babies. Goes to show I cull to early.

I would say that Gb is right but I just want to say that I have a dom pied cock here that his cere is always pink. It has never gone blue and I wan won best adult bird in Intermediate with him.

Hi Ray, you dog is super and the budgies are gorgeous, like your cage too. About birds hanging themselves, if there is a bit of thread or a bit of wire they will find it and do tremendous damage. When we first did our aviary Greg left some of the wire with the spits sticking up and we came home and found a budgie hanging by her ring ring, she lost her foot in the end. And I had a bird get her ring caught in the breeding cage this year from where I cut the wire to hang the breeding box on her foot swiveled up and died. I actually haven't had one hang it's self but if I gave them the chance I am sure they would. babies are very inquisitive and seem to get in the most trouble.

Yes I know Geoff went crook at me because he saw him and thought he was a beauty and little did I know that he had lined a buyer (another breeder) for him but I had already culled him to the pet shop. But at the time the hen he was with is a beauty , heaps of directional feather , every thing. size, feather, width.

Oh yeah, great cage Flippy she will be very happy in that. looks like the Hilton of cages lol

What's she look like to you from your end, do you think she is violet. Because violet doesn't show up in photos very much but to me she looks to be a cobalt normal hen.
