Little one

They are beautiful.

Congratulations!

Thanks.

Here's some pictures of my birds in the new aviary: .............. .............. < their veiw. .............. .............. ..............

My birds do have a view... my birds need the best!

Awwww, thank you Kaz.

Thanks.

Wow that's weird, thanks Elly.

Here are four of my new birds from Kaz , Skittles ^ Lavender ^ Berry ^ Blossom ^

It's a weird thing, but every night at around 7:30 my birds all leave their perches to go to one side of the aviary to sleep. I put perches up there and some below them but they like their heads right under the aviary roof. If they can't find a perch, they hang on the the mesh. . When you walk outside when it's dark, you can just see all of the feathers and colours under the roof on the one side of the cage. It's odd, so we're going to get a big perch and put it right along the one side that they all sleep on so they all get a 'spot'.

Thanks alot guys! I was really worried.

Thanks all!

Wow, you figured out the gender, another girl... ah!! . Thanks guys . Yesterday I noticed that one of her eye's was a bit red (like feathers missing from it)... she's not scratching it or anything, do you think it will heal, I don't know how it got there.

Thanks Elly

Here's some better pictures, it was so hard to get them close up without making them completely fuzzy:

Merlin's so cute!

Are you sure it's a girl?... his/her nose is becoming a dark blue and when I hold him/her, she/he dosent bite as hard as my females do. My cousin wants me to keep him/her in my aviary and look after him/her, so she can visit him/her sometimes. She's/he's kind of a violet/grey colour.

I'm also wondering what mutation he is... I'm not sure.

Iv'e taken a closer and a kind of front veiw picture, Here's one: And here's a close up of that picture: So what do you think... Boy or Girl?

okay, so I suppose it's safe to just breed the budgies and leave the cockateil on it's own, we tried to do that once and it went okay, the only problem was the tiny aviary, so i'll only breed budgies on their own, not with cockateils. Thanks for your help.

Phew! that made me feel alot better! :budgiedance:

I went to the Markets today to get a new bird (Roxii,) and we were also about to buy a second cockateil. All of my birds are in the aviary including the cockateil, one cockateil, 6 budgies. So I was going to get a second cockateil and the lady at our service told us that 'budgies are very territorial, if you want cockateils with budgies, you need more cockateils than the amount of budgies, or the budgies would kill the cockateils.' Now I'm really worried, the cockateil has been housed with the budgies for at least a year and so far so good. They get along great, there is an occasional 'nip' or 'peck' but all birds do that. Do you think that this could be true, iv'e never heard of that before? I don't know if the lady was an experienced bird person.

Hard to tell boy or girl from the side on shot. We need a front on photo I'll be sure to get a front veiw picture tomorrow. :sad:

Today we went to the markets to get a budgie for my 5 year old cousin. She called him Roxii. Here's a picture of him: We are hoping he's a boy, so don't tell us you reckon it's a girl (jokes.) :budgiedance:

I am getting three more budgies plus I have a cockateil and we might get a second cockateil.
