Great news on your catches. I am so relieve to hear that its probably just mice. I hope you catch them ALLLL

Hubby brought it home last night from work..... we watched all three... I liked it, but didn't get it I think it would be one that would grow on me, like firefly did...

I agree with the vet treatment. Also as MB said, Warm light. Other than that, there is not a lot more we can tell you without more information and/or pictures. A poopy bum and sleepy fluffed look is the symptoms of almost every budgie sickness. A vet will be able to test the poo, listen to its heart and chest, take blood samples, check the crop and many many other things. I hope you find out what is wrong with her.

Very nice AV - I like your hen too. Very nice buy!! and i hope you had a lovely weekend

Thats Very cute I saw one in the street when i was visiting my aunt in Saskatoon - very cool

I have wanted to be many things, and i still cant decide what suits me. Actress, Police officer, Vet, Film writer, Midwife, Child care worker, Psychologist, Computer geek, Singer. and what am I??? a stay at home mum

I'm so sorry you lost you little bub :hap: I really hope your hen is a fast learner and you don't have any further problems.

Mmmmmm VERY nice :hap: I agree, nice colour!

:hap: I cant tell any genders!!! :hap: To me the photos are too hard because they are too close to the camera. Are you able to take photos of them from a distance? about 1 meter or so... just have them sitting together on their perches :hap:

Looking forward to pictures of your birds and their setup :hap:

Hello and welcome :hap: I agree that it is a personality thing. Are you sure he is a boy?? Girls are often more cranky and bossy than the boys. Personally i would cover his cage when ever he makes that noisy screech, and when he is quiet again, take the cover off. He will take the hint and learn to be quuiter :hap: I had a tiel who would screech and i did this with him and he turned out lovely and quiet :hap:

Awwww look at those How exciting!! i hope the cold dosen't cause any troubles. I look forward to updates and i hope all goes well

secure your aviary, because it will only be a matter of time before they are in causing havoc. I haven't had rats yet (thank god!!) but i believe their tunnels are just big enough for them to scurry through comfortably. I hope you get rid of them before they cause any problems

That is adorable - i have never had a bird that talks - Your boy is very clever to say so much at such a young age!!!

Hello and welcome :budgiedance: He is a very sweet looking boy. He looks like he has rickets (calcium deficiency as a chick) making his legs and feet weaker. My Scooter has rickets too and he is just adorable As Nerwin said, he is older than 3 months, I'd say he's about 6 months old. Is he flighty or quiet. You will be able to tame him but it will take a lot longer than if he was a baby.

hahaha NO, My kids keep playing with them all the time and i keep stepping on them Grrrrrr. Do you play an instrument well? if yes, Which one

Not a "special" food like pellets or anything. They need a good quality seed and lots of fresh vegies every day. You can also give cooked eggs, multigrain bread too when feeding chicks. Soaked seed is also good for feeding parents. Budgies need calcium in their diet all though the breeding period. I give a liquid supplement in their water.

Just guessing on your types. Your male might be a Yellow face, type two Opaline. Your Female sounds like a sky blue dominant or recessive pied Your cage is big enough to allow them to breed I am so pleased you are doing your research before you put the nest box in as there are so many things that can go wrong. Take a look at the FAQ for some great breeding advice

I have my aviary feeders on the ground in kitty litter trays. The litter treys help keep the seed off the ground but still allows my quails to eat fresh seed I haven't had mice problems yet as i have plugged any gaps in the aviary with steel wool.

What a spoilt boy I have two tiels who are out ALL day on a special play stand i made them, and only sleep in a small cage too. I will probably get in trouble for saying this, but in special circumstances there is no point to a big cage when the birds are not in it unless to sleep at night. If for any reason though he spends more time in his cage during the day, he will need an upsize.

Hello and welcome. You are in the right place to get all your questions answered.

Go Fish, Were/are you the popular kid in school ??

Yes, just a little though - I wish i could remember what i was laughing about too hehehe Do you enjoy playing video games (playstation, wii, Xbox, PC etc)

Go Fish (hope your boy will be okay Elly **ouch!!**) Do you use public toilets?

Sorry for your losses as Dave said, it can be very difficult to determine cause of death. Some other causes include.... Mice/rats getting to the birds food and water can kill an entire flock overnight. Wild birds that can poop though the wire can bring nasty diseases to your flock. Lack of food in the cold weather can kill birds as they need food to maintain body heat. and there are many more...... I hope you find the cause and don't have any more deaths.
