*libby*

Done, but not looking good :laughter:

I'd say it's a hen who's moulting When the cere was blue/whitish brown it would've been out of condition but has now turned brown in it's prime

I've had a hen who's had pointy eggs before and one with very spherical eggs, all went well with their clutches

When a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your your face you get SPRUNG!!! Haha hilarious!

You lucky duck They're all gorgeous! I'm green with envy

Nice score And for free!!!!! you lucky duck you!!! your babies look gorgeous Well done

That looks excellent, although you may need to make sure the wood isn't treated or harmful to the birds

I have my fingers crossed for you also I think you'll do fine, you're clearly an excellent hand rearer and very experienced

You can get them from most outdoor furniture stores. They're called cafe blinds for memory. We have them around our back patio. Places like Target, k-mart and Big W do them also in all different sizes. It's a thick plastic canvas.

Hello Jarryd, Welcome back... Llyod is gorgeous and your aviary is lovely

Excellent soloution before anymore problems arise Jenene You're and angel to take on that burden with all the bubs you're already hand rearing

Are Turqs also okay with them since they're almost the same species?

Pretty as!!!!! They look like those Lotus???? Flowers I think it is?

No, the parent's don't necessarily have to of done it to them. I know in the case of my budgie it did it all on it's own. The beak narrowed at a point and then over the coming time it snapped off. The parents could quite possibly have done it, but it'd be an unusual thing to do, generally if they're going to rip the beak off they'll take the whole top mandible, not just the tip. I'd be watching they're getting fed and adding extra multi vitamins and minerals to their greens as well as plenty of calcium straight to the chicks. it may be a deformaty to of occured in two chicks... but i can't guarantee that, many things could've happened but I'm pretty positive with good care and the right incoming food it should heal presuming the parents aren't at fault and if they were that they won't do it again

Oh my, that is unusual. I've had a budgie born once with a top beak like that which had snapped off, but luckily over time with plenty of food and supplements it grew it back to normal without a problem. I have no doubts your chicks will grow it back out, but you'll have to keep it from becoming underbitten ... P.s. I changed your topic title for you.

Agree, a picture would help to confirm

I have tiels, budgies, quails and rabbits in my aviary which is almost 4m x 3m without a problem and on the odd occasion I let my barraband parrot in for a free flight as she already shares "housing" with tiels and they get along fine. Although I am home all day everyday. I also suggest you don't colony breed as many things become hard that way and unless you have 24/7 to watch them, things will go wrong

Haha awww excellent photo!!! How cute is that!

Agree, she violet dom pied

it is a skyblue opaline but not diluted it's body colour is like that because it's young... As it grows up it will come through stronger

Aww she's sooo gorgeous!! I'm so glad she made it through okay in the end And look at her now!!! She's a porker!!!
