  1. Saturday 18th June Vermont Uniting Church Hall Corner of Cross Road and New Street, South Plympton SA 2.00pm I will hopefully have a catalogue to sometime next week before the auction
  2. The BSSA Ron Norman 63rd Annual Show in conjunction with the BRASEA State Show will be held at Vermont Unity Church Hall, Corner of Cross Road and New St, South Plympton, SA, on Saturday 18th of June. This Show is an Open Show. Any member financial with BSSA or any other Bird Society may show. Trophy presentation will be at 1.30pm and an Auction with birds supplied by local breeders will follow at 2.00pm. I will hopefully have a catalogue of the auction birds closer to the date.
  3. We have been encouraged to purchase the larger perches and not knowing the politics and being novices in the exhibition world we have done just that. At least half our show cages now have 16mm perches. It will be disappointing and frustrating if they go back and we have to just throw them away...... My first State show and I have 3 birds going to Nats
  4. All will be split, the hen only has one X chromosome to give to her sons which will have the Opaline gene on it. Thank you Nerwen
  5. Wow. Those pictures are really clear and very well done. Thank you RIP and Kaz for sharing with us. I am usually very squeamish, but the pictures were so clean and labelled so well, I got over that in the interest of learning something.
  6. From what I can see, they are pretty amazing pictures. Unfortunately, I cant get the enlargement link to happen, so I cant see the labels.........
  7. Sad to hear of Dusty's passing. I think small mercies though, in that he passed quickly of heart complications rather than slowly of starvation, which so many FD's seem to suffer from. RIP Dusty and thank you Kaz for the pictorial journey of his life and thank you RIPBudgies for the fascinating explanation of the autopsy.
  8. Well they will all be blue series, whether it be sky, cobalt or violet, possibly even grey as Im not really sure of her colour either. All will be normals or spangles and some of the cocks will be split opaline. The are very pretty and I look forward to seeing their results
  9. Soooooooooooo pretty!! Is the first baby a DF dom pied. Just wondered for the lack of markings but still having that spot on the back of the head. They are really pretty babies!
  10. The words out of my mouth were "Oh my God" and the thoughts in my head were "what a gorgeous bird!" Congrats on your wins. He is a lovely boy
  11. I guess you always feel something for your birds when you find one gone, but it is always a bit more when there is an attachment and its "someone" special. So sorry for your losses Dave. I felt the sadness through your post and send my sympathy
  12. Wow! She seems to be doing really well for a FD. She is quite beautiful I think. Interesting how the blue cheek patches are down the feathers on her face....Im not explaining that right, but I hope you know what I mean lol.
  13. Gorgeous!! Beautiful babies
  14. Wow and more wow!! Fantastic birds Splat. You must be very pleased, I would be over the moon and throwing a party! LOL In all seriousness though........wow!!
  15. I have a couple of "regulars" in my aviary from last year. I keep them there, to teach the babies not to be so afraid of me. It always amuses me when the babies, who have never been tamed, jump on my head, or back or arm to chew and explore me, when they see the "regs" jump on board hehe. Makes breeding just that little bit more personal I think
  16. Just had to add a couple more of "The Princess". She is my favourite bird at the moment. She flies up to the wire to say hello and chews on my shoes, but she's still not sure about actually sitting on me yet. There is just something about her I love, the combination of looks and personality.
  17. Wow, your aviaries look so interesting and fun! Lovely pretty birds
  18. Sunnie replied to Sunnie's topic in Budgie Pictures

  21. Totally adorable! We got some silkie chicks for my sister for Christmas. She breeds other purebred chickens and I thought it would make an awesome Christmas gift. I am hoping to get some from her further down the track too, for pets So very cute AB!
  22. Hi and welcome! Snowy is a recessive pied either grey or sky blue, looks blue to me in the first picture and grey in the 2nd lol. And I agree with Harry, that Charlie is a spangle dark green
