*libby*

we'd need to see photo's to be able to tell you what is going on Birds don't just "change colour" well, not budgies anyway

Remember Zebra, no such thing as a white horse They're called "greys" and if it's not grey then it's a creamino or an albino

I soooo feel your pain AV, I rode from the age of 9 until 15!!!! and can't anymore either

excellent news Make sure she's totally weaned by checking her crop before taking away all feeds Sometimes they still need little top ups

Gorgeous pairing!!!!!

Then by all means I would say go ahead with it. Non-toxic paint, and make sure the birds can't reach it whilst it's still drying

It can be, look up my topic on pet shop rescues to see some bad cases, but they're not the worst. treatment is an essential must, doesn't cost much and can save alot of drama

I'm not too sure on these ones, but here goes Boy girl girl boy boy

Looks awesome! i have a fancy for fish also and have three tanks, atm two are empty (due to deaths) but the other has 3 blue dolphins in it, which are awesome! Before that I had electric yellows and some bombardo's But I have a major passion for the gorgeous guppies around! they're stunning!

Normal grey cock and depending on it's age it's a pearl hen... How old is it?

All's fair in love and war, besides, a little entertainment never hurt anyone, nor a little rivalry

Now now children, what is this, a ******* match between Aus and NZ ??

OMG!!! I watched speed also!!! I missed the notebook, for sandra bullock !!!!!!! Mind you, keanu Reeves is still a dish

Agree, definatly boys

Sky looks young, i'd say 10-11 months maybe, maybe a bit over a year... Two hens will only fight in a cage if it's too small, how big is your cage? I wouldn't say it was prime breeding condition.

It all depends, type of wood, type of paint, why to paint etc... What're your reasons behind wanting to paint?

It is better to have some kind of nesting material to protect eggs and chicks from the cooler conditions with insulation and from the hard bottom of the box, which can crack eggs easily if rolled around. Don't do a thick layer as you're right, you can lose chicks and eggs under it. There's several kinds of nesting materials you can use, I personally use wood shavings and a bit of wood dust. That aviary will be fine for 3 pairs although you will need 2x the amount of nest boxes to pairs :hap:

Agree with everything Deb said :hap: The biting is him going through his pain in the butt "teen" years :hap:

I'm a sucker for a sappy movie and a classic so i'd have to say The Notebook is a favourite sappy one and Robin Hood and men in tights is a classic :hap:

She's a cinnwing opaline hen by the way Her wings are definatly brown, i have a nice pet type cock exactly the same

Be careful with too much nesting material, sometimes you can lose "jellybeans" under it and they either starve or freeze to death.

If they're from the same place that is okay to quarantine them together, if not they need to be seperated

I also clip once they've learnt to fly. If done at that stage they still retain the knowledge of how to once their wings grow back and it stops them splitting their cere open on windows

Agree with Kaz, way too young on that one

Haha that's sooo cute, horrible, but cute
