They are awesome photos!!! :hap:

Great bargain!!!! - and two "added" budgies too

I agree. my first thought was a hen too

Hello and welcome!!! Wow!! I never knew there were so many edible flowers. Great question

Bummer!!! Did the pesty thing eat the meat ?

Great minds think alike I have baited the traps with raw kangaroo mince You have raw kangaroo mince ? GET OUTTA HERE ! What do you cook with roo ? What does roo taste like ? PLEASE DON'T SAY CHICKEN ! I haven't eaten Kangaroo in a long time. I'd say its like very rich beef - not my favorite. Some Resturants serve it as stakes and pies and stews mostly. I perosnnaly don't think its a very nice meat. Some love it, and its great as pet food to - lets just hope it attracted and killed that nasty RAT!!!!!

Great minds think alike I have baited the traps with raw kangaroo mince Kangaroo hey..... very gormet for a dirty rat

WOW!!!! with all those toy ideas!!!! We will never have a bored bird again

How about putting some nice MEAT on those traps? Chicken or some beef mince - It can be its last meal on death row.

Mine stay quiet through a full moon. We have street lights that light up our yard so they are used to a light night

I have a tiel who gets blood feathers when he moults too. I am trying the moulting aid at the moment to see if this improves the blood feather issue I will be interested to read what you learn from the others

Personally I do not breed in the cooler months and winter. I feel it is too risky for the eggs and chicks. I use the cooler months to rest my birds and get them in top condition for spring

YAY!!!!!! Thats great news

Fingers crossed that rat is stopped :mellow:

I agree. they will be fine as long as the breeder has not introduced any new birds to the flock without quarantine in the last few weeks.

What lovely bright colours your girls are :sad:

Hello and welcome It will be great to see your pictures. Here is a link to help with posting pictures :sad: :budgiedance:

Hello and Welcome!! This is a great place to get all you questions answered Look forward to meeting Alex :D

I have all my fingers and toes crossed for you and Ken. I hope you stop that rat! a picture of a friendly kitty for the rat to admire next time it comes by...

:fear It's one thing to have rodents running around eating bird seed, but to be killing birds, that is NOT ON!!!!!! I really hope you get that murderous vermin before it does any more damage!!!!!!

Well thats a no brainer Congratulations!!!! :fear

I just took two birds last week to the vets with suspect psittacosis - They had dark staining above the cere too. - Frankie looks more brown rust, almost dried blood colour to me. By birds had dark blacky/brown staining Thankfully my birds were free from psittacosis, and only had upper respiratory infections. After talking to the vet about my birds i do not feel Frankie has that illness. For one the eyes are clear and clean. The poos are not a bright green (are they??) and the bird is looking well other than the stains, which to me, look like stains from something that has transferred into the feathers from rubbing etc. Upper resportory infection

She is gorgeous

:fear A RAT!!! ERRK!! I am so sorry Kaz - I hope you catch the bugger!!!!!

Hello and welcome I have to TOTALLY agree with Kaz hehe
