*libby*

Not overly odd, I find when a bird has more greens/fresh food or more water their poos go like this. It's still in the "okay" range because there is a solid in it, the water around the solid doesn't phase me much unless it's really noticable. Colours of their poos usually fluctuate, but in my books that's still okay You're a very watchful owner !

Well the moment I do I'll post them up, they're both adorable :budgiedance:

Hemp seed? Nice, stoned birds :budgiedance: Joking!

I just see heavy suffision which fades to nothing lower down.

It's not only the more variety I find appropriate it's the lack of wastage :budgiedance: With normal budgie 1-2 kg would be wasted fo the hulled oats and so on... Now, everything gets eaten Less mess to clean up after and hopefully less rodents attracted haha!

I'd say it's just a normal DF with bad suffision as there isn't any banding/pattern to the suffision, unlike MB's

I feel you on that one birdluv!!! that totally sounds like him! We've been told by the experts if the hard drive is fried nothing is retreivable, but if it's only not booting into windows we should be able to save it all... The most precious pictures I have ever taken are on there... my Grampy who we lost in Nov last year, wearing a bright yellow Wu-Tang jacket on his 80th birthday :budgiedance: (He was a doctor and worked with Fremantle street kids... maybe he thought it was cool?) haha! And my gran at the christmas just gone holding one of my weero's I've got all my fingers and toes crossed that it's retreviable, going to have to wait for dad to get off his butt and take it in We've down graded to a spare 80 gb hard drive from my brother at the moment Liv... suprisingly works faster than the 250 gb one! Probably doesn't help we only had 40gb of space left on the old one

Oh Lordy!!! looking at those pictures I think I'd MUCH prefer sand stone if lime stone is that grimey haha! Then again I'm no excellent paver so will probably make a botch job of it But hey, alls well that ends well, i'm sure it'll be fun :fear

Haha you're a whack job Throwback It's good to see your kid/s are still keeping you young and with a sense of humour :fear

Which ever sounds good then

I have no idea what sandstone looks like, is it as pretty LOL?

If I were that same old hen I'd be getting me a new partner after seeing that :fear

I used to use regular budgie mixed with sunflower seeds but have now changed to finch mixed with sun flower seeds at a ratio of 20 kg budgie fo 1 kg sun flower.

I don't have one, but need one badly! Last week my sisters partner wiped our hard drive and to say the least I was very unimpressed and ticked off! Many many many photo's of special events and people/animals who're past were on there... We're all praying to god that it's able to be retreived... The moment it is, i'll be backing it all up... If it doesn't manage to be retreived... he's going to have h*ll to pay :fear Our computer was less than 1 yr old and had a 250gb hard drive when it crashed

First one is an opaline TCB yf2 Second is a violet opaline dominant pied and third is an opaline spangle violet dominant pied

Is it possible to buy pure limestone blocks then :S?

I'm soo too much of a wimp to deal with euthinasing an animal probably why I use ratsak, out of sight out of mind :S I don't see the dead animals, or know if they're dead...

Hehehe awww, that's soo cute

Me, crude? never Honest, yes hehe

All leafy greens which are safe for human consumption are safe for our budgies. Some just provide more nitrients than the others

Nah, don't really want cement, want it to look pretty Bob already looked at the reconstituted limestone and said if we're were able to get the real stuff we'd get that instead, gotta love tax back

Start with young birds, their habits are easier to set in as adult birds aren't always so flexible with their "learning"

Now next to my aviary is a small garden bed which contains a fish pond, due to there being a water main or something under there the garden bed is very shallow and the pond is not able to be totally burried in. My partner and I plan to raise the garden bed by making a lime stone wall around it to allow us to add more soil in a make it a nice area. To do this a lime stone block or two will have to be up against the aviary wire near the entrance door to prevent sand flowing in. Will this harm the birds in any way or will the lime stone be an added mineral supplement which they're allowed to pick at? If it's toxic to them or harmful I'll have to look at other means or barracades between aviary and stone Any one got any ideas or knowledge on this subject?

I do my birds up a dish every second day of chopped lettuce ( personal choice, bok choy/spinach is better) grated carrot, whole hard boiled crushed eggs, dried bread crumbs (supermarket) grated apple and a mix of other things like vitamin drops and calcium added in (it changes by what's in the fridge ) the alternative days they get their grasses (winter grass and dandelion plants) from the garden. Seed and water are provided at all times as well as calcium bells maybe 1-2 days a week they'll get no fresh foods, but in summer atleast once a day all cabinet birds are given them when nesting (don't forget they LOVE native fresh branches, especially peppermint tree leaves and bottlebrush)

I hear you on that one!!! My Pomeranian (Roxy) has chunks of hair falling out of her flanks right now, it's a nightmare!!!! My dobermann x rottie used to get it too
