You might have to check what you are feeding,they may be to fat,was it a young hen or had she layed before. There could be any number of reasons for the prolaspe.

You will need to keep a watch on the web,as it will stop the seed from comeing out,there was a talk about this very thing at the meeting last night. The self feeders with the glass front,you look at the feeder & think,there is plenty of seed in the hopper, only problem,there is none comeing out as the moths have spun a web accross the opening & no seed is flowing out. I must say,I have never come accross the problem.

Perhaps his name is Bell,Ding Dong.

They have a habit of doing that, taking over as boss of the house. Ours is the boss & for a little cat, she has a loud voice & will let you know if she is being anoid by others in the house hold & will give give a quick swipe with the front paw if needed.

They are looking good Hawke,

The word 'Rainbow' was coined by Keston Foreign Bird Farms who developed the combination of Opaline and Clearwing and they also used available 'yellowface' mutations of the day. Over time the Goldenface, Clearwing, Opaline combination has become the one most associated with the term 'Rainbow'. So when you use the term 'true' you must be aware of the subject matters history or you risk doing what many other do, diseminate false and misleading information. I think there is enough of that out there already. I have personally met Kelwyn some years ago when I took some birds over to show in South Australia. He is a good budgie breeder no doubting that, and I have heard many things, both good and bad, about him over the years but I found most of it untrue as it usually is. I found him to be a rather quite, reserved individual, but willing to discuss anything budgie. To my knowledge he is not a geneticist. As I said earlier they usually have quite a sprinkling of letters after their names which shows the degrees of education they would have to achieve to reach their final goal. Whilst I was visiting SA and doing the customary aviary visits I came across a pair of hens that Kelwyn had mis-identified. Please don't take this the wrong way, I am not having a go at Kelwyn, it is just something I see on a regular basis that some top breeders do not have variety recognition skills and and/or the genetic/colour develolpment skills in which to identify the seemingly out of the ordinary occourances. Seeing as you know genetic/colour,what was it that Kelwyn,misread the variety. be very interested,to know & a picture would help. :bump:

There are no pink budgie's,if there was they would be worth a lot of money & if they could be breed,they would be about now.

Jimmy do you know who, Heathrow & Chookbreeder are. they are both Judges for a start & breeders of a good budgie.

Did you back it,it payed well. Now that it knows how to win, there could be some mote wins down the track,Thumb Up. :rofl:

You did a good job PT,Iam very critical of some of the Auctioneers, at some of the Budgie Auctions I go to,you worked the the bidders with a smooth aproach & did dwell on a bid & knocked them down.Thumbs UP.

That is some thing,I will bring up at out next meeting,the birds with the eye problem. By the way they sold okay,I just hope the buyers, noticed the eye problem.The birds are there for all to see. PS Lealotta,you were lucky,you did't have to wait till the end of the auction to pick up your bird.As rule the birds are not released till the end of the auction.

The sale average, was $150 65 bidders signed in, Jimmy, I would of said goodday, if I knew you was there. This would of been the best average for about 10 years

It is an unreserve, auction.The fall of the hammer is the price you pay.

And a guest apperance by Lara Bingle :hmm:

Shows how good the parents are to have to administer three types of "formula" to these guys based on their varying needs. Fancy that aring in the box,some one was very impaciant & put the ring on about 5 days to early. :D

The bird is in the USA, it might be a bit hard to find the breeder.

I guess,chocolate smoke would be the colour. If you pick up stick, that the bark has been burnt & you rub off the charcol, thats the colour,

Splat,if you are going to try the water in the bottem of the cage. find a plastic container,about the same size as the bottem of the cage & fill that with water.he will sit on the perch or hop in the water & have a bath.

My wife has a Devon Rex, it just about talk to you. I think at times its telling me to get far away.I like there fer,or lack of it. Tilly her name & she is the colour of a burned stick.

I think the Dcup,wil be as useful as a back pocket, on a jock strap. :budgiedance:

okay I know about the 16mil perches, being fazzed in but I must of missed the bit about the D cups.Is there a reason for the useing the D cups.Marked cages, if you read the rules,it states what can & can't be on the show cage.But it appears in WA they may be a little easer on the cages.

Talk about marked cages,some with seed, no seed a D cup, is this to save on seed or to make it easyer to sweep up,after the show. If so should't it be a standard across all cages, No seed or seed or paper in the bottem of the cage,its a bit hit & miss,by the look of it.

An exhibitor,missed out on the Deploma at our show on Saturday, because,the bird would't sit on the perch & when the show was over, he was siting up on the perch like Jacky. The exhibitor said he never had any problem before & had won best unbroken cap at one of the shows. Some get it into there heads,they are going to play up & there not much you can do.

Perhaps they did'nt have a winner, but they are 2 1/2 hours behind us so they,may not be home yet. :thumbs_up:

You are all lucky,only one in every 5 posts that I post, make it to the light of day, they are very blunt,I guess a lot of others think what I say BUT don't post,Just as well.
