I'm so sorry

I love you yellow faced grey cinnamon (right)........

I missed this before... GREAT WORK Maesie!!! It looks wonderful and your birds look so happy p.s i have the exact same purple feeder as you. They are really cool

My head as won the battle with my heart. As hard as it is, i have decided to let the poor bird be. After talking with some vets and discovering a lack of Avian Vets in my area (non within an hours drive from me) i feel i need to make the tough decision and not risk my flock. I am also ill equip to suddenly deal with a bird of his condition, I don't know how to crop feed (although i want to learn), i am an organic breeder so i don't have any harsh medications on hand (except for wormer) and i would have to buy another cage as both my Quarantine cages are occupied. Scooter was an easy rescue as he has rickets and is not otherwise sick No, i can't save every poor little bird that comes into my life (as much as i want to), It is up to me to protect my flock from disease first. It has been a very tough decision to make I will post a topic in the budgies for sale section to see if there is any one who wants to look after this bird.... I am not good when it comes to confronting people on a complaining level. I will however, ring the R***A today and put this pet shop on their records (even if they don't do anything - it might bite the shop in the butt later down the track) Thank you for your time and advice - i can't stress how tough this has been, and how much i appreciate your help. I will let you know how i go with the R***A

That's a really sad story It's a great warning for those who keep birds inside

I had organized the scaly face meds he would need, and was planning to bring him home from the shop tomorrow...... but perhaps i won't now OHhhh, how hard it is to walk away on a living creature who needs help :sad: Is there someone out there who would like to take care of him who doesn't have other birds to risk infecting???????

I certainly don't want to bring home something that will infect my flock..... this is why i keep going around and around about this poor bird.... My heart wants to bring him home and take care of him.... My head keep telling me that he could create problems with my flock... :sad:

WOW!!! Thats a SUPER COOOOOOOL Hearse Congratulations :sad:

Looks Great! I love the little foot prints too... :sad: very sweet

I'm so sorry :sad: I hope someone will have some answers for you.

Hello and welcome Oh, Dude is LOOOOOOOOOVVVVLLLLLYYYYYY!!!!! **Melts off the seat on to the the floor** Yellowface violet opalines are my favorite

I popped in to "that' shop today and snapped some pics...

I have been doing some research and i think your little baby may have sour crop. Its a serious condition and very common with hand feeding babies Here is some links that may help Treating Sour Crop Sour Crop in Tiels - I know its not budgies but it has useful info still.

I'm so sorry you are having troubles I don't really know what to advise you, but for now your baby will need lots of warmth. use a lamp with a 25-40 watt globe. (((hugs))) a picture could help

Hello and welcome I should warn you that this is a very addictive place

WOW!! they are awesome!!!! and very cute

they are lovely. isn't the white one a dilute recessive pied????

That is really awesome... now to mass produce and make lots of $$$$$$$ on your brilliant idea

That sounds lovely dosen't it support that for sure

Thanks Guys, Thats comforting to know that he wont be contagious

Just making a note that this petshop is NOT my local one that i think is good... That shop is still GREAT and thats where i am getting Scooters new cage from :fear This is another shop that i have only visited twice and i may only go back there one more time... Hubby is not keen on me brining home this bird. He is concerned about the intrduction of the mites that could posibbly infect my flock - i have to agree there... what are the risks?????

They are adorable photos :rip:
