billyboy

Thanks for that guys! SO the vote is that Billy is a male?

Thanks Elly! We plan on taking him back to the Avian vet at 3 months of age. Just for peace of mind and a general check up. Billy has a trick, he picks up the corner of his cage paper, wraps himself up like a cone and then lays on his back with his legs in the air!! Hubby calls him turtle. Its just so funny!I bought him a cat ball with a bell inside and he loves rolling it around the cage. Sharyn

I just laughed at that carrot photo! I think that's hilarious!!! If only my baby would eat veg like that, turns his nose up to everything except corn on the cob. I will continue trying though. Sharyn

Hi im also new to forums, love owning budgies, they have a great attitude about them and are so smart. Welcome again. Keep perservering with the hand taming. Sharyn

Thanks for that! I now have Billy on my profile. Yeah, the megabacteria was terrible. I think Im a bit paranoid now, making sure Billy is healthy. But he seems active and is trying to talk only after 4 days of being with us! I m on annual leave so he's had me here most days. Sharyn

Thank you so much everyone for your welcome. I will try and add a picture of little Billy for you to see. He has a very pink swollen cere, which apparently can be a sign it is male? Harry died from megabacteria or avian yeast infection. He initially started with vomitting and diarrhoea and for three months we battled to keep him alive with amphotericin (anti-fungal med) I took him to Ray Butler in Applecross, he was excellent. Anyway, we went on holiday a couple of weeks ago and Harry got really ill before we left. By the time we got back he had a chest infection and died two days later. It was horrible. So now we have Billy. Harry was about 2 when he died. http://www.general.uwa.edu.au/~ajf/temp/bi...006%20small.JPG I also have 2 weiros, Monty and Marsoe. Monty talks and sings funky town. Anyway, Thanks again, can anyone tell me how to get Billy's photo on my profile? Sharyn :ausb: :ausb:

Hi everybody Im from Perth. I unfortunatly lost my little boy, Harry to avian yeast infection. I missed him so much that I bought a new little baby, I called him/her Billy. Hubby swears hes a girl, I vote boy. He is eight weeks old and loves my wedding rings. I am currently on holidays so the babys getting a lot of attention. I am still quite emotionally scarred from what happened to Harry (he died whilst I was cuddling him) so Im hoping Billy will stay healthy. Is there anything i can do to stop the baby biting my fingers? He just seems to want to nibble anything! Sharyn :redalbino:
