For every one you sell at $15.I dare say you will sell 4 at $5.00.Iam the auctioneer at a poultry & bird auction each week.On average I get $4.50----$5.00 for budgie,So young fellow,don't count your cash before you get it :

You can just sit on the side Daz & just pop in for a look.I just pop in for a look most times,Best of luck which ever way you go.

In some shire areas you have to have a permit to keep birds (budgies) A breeder in my club had to fork out for a permit & has to renew it each year,& that slab might just be to close to the fence if they happen to come by.In the case of the breeder in my club,the councel people,were out the front of his house looking at bthe foot path, & heard the budgie & the ranger turned up to check things out,Every thing was okay,but it did cost him$$$.

Kaz I noticed a large wet patch,there in front of Lilly,she did'nt wet herself in all the excitement.

I was leaving for work that morning, I hopped in the uten& turned it on & the news came on.I walked back inside & rang work,to tell them I would not be coming to work that day & never went back to work again.It was the straw that broke the camels back.I had a complete break down.

I would say if it was to young,quarantine was not the problem. The was just to young.Was the breeder a first time breeder, because he or she,should not sold the bird to young,to the breeder.

Its when you try to get the back toe in the ring at the same time do you run into a problem.But only the 3 main toes foward is the best method

There could be,2or3 reasons this bird,became crook.It may of been off colour,when brought.It may of been in with a heap of other birds at the pet shop & caught some thing there,or her birds may be carrier of a bug that the bird may not of been in contact with.When I buy birds,I put them into a breeding cage,in most cases,with a bird of mine,that way I know it has been in contact with my birds,If either bird get crook,I have a fair chance of treating the problem or bining the bird.The main thing is when buying a bird,is to no where it came from or if it looks the slitest of colour. Do not buy.I guess most, that come on this forum,have only a hand full of birds & buy on a wim,see it have to buy it.

No Dave, not childish,

Dave by what I have read,I think you are only a young bloke. Perhaps still at school.I would'nt get to involved, with these lady's hammer & drills.

The add has been removed.

Give the chook a drop on the back of the neck & they will be covered aswell.

2 wrong, the smallest & feet.I have never seen a budgie use there feet to eat with,ie like cockys/

These free things,are only the bait,to hook you in & they can then,go the hard sell.

If its a club ring, It would have the year stamped on them.If plain could be any year. :hap:

I have a 1200x2400 flight,that I use & any that don't lay or not fertile, & finished breeding go in this cage.By the end of the season & they have 2plastic rings on,they go to the pet buyer,2 fails & they are out.

For a 11 yr old bird, it looks good.Lived a sheltered life no dought. The UBC.Is a bird a bird with a future,if he holds together.Will interesting to see after he goes through the moult.

How many have had succes,growing there bird seed.I have to say,I have not been very successfull,very few seeds germinate,I just wondered if any other have been able to get it to grow.

I use breeding aid right through the breeding season & moulting aid as the young birds go through there moult & list goes on,there is a aid you can use for every season of the year.It just depends how much you want to put into your birds.

I would think,because he put it on the beak,that it was ivermectin oral & not spot on. Plus he used 2 drops.If it clears it up I don't think you need to go back,if it dosent. Try the spot on ivermectin.

I have seen some syst in my time in budgies.But that the biggest I have seen.I guess this one has been there for a while to get that big,

If you are going to keep eggs for a few days,before puting them under a hen.It pay to turn the egg morning & night. Half a turn away in the morning & turn it back to you half a turn at night,

You will find it has a tumor in its stomach,thats why it feels soft,

Another budgie,the same colour, would be a lot cheaper,by along way. :mellow:

There is a pour on,that you use with a drop on the back of the neck & a oral liquid that is used at a rate of 10mils to a 1 ltre of water,The pour on is a better use,because you know the bird has been treated,
