I am so sorry Loosing a bird can be harder than having one die... ((((HUGS for your sister x 2)))) All the best with your search...I hope someone finds them. :angel1:

Thats a good idea too... thanks. I didn't breed in december and January because it was too hot. We had a lovely February, with perfect weather, so i let them have one more round before the long winter break. No one could predict this nasty (record breaking) March heat wave. I got many male budgies last year..... hope i get some females from this hot weather I am lucky enough to be at home like Kaz. The aviary is just out side my back door and i can watch what is happening with my birds as much as i watch my children. Also, my A/C is refrigerated so i cant blow the air out my back door onto my aviary like i could with an evaprotive system

MMMMMMmmmmm Sounds refreshing

I have this pair I dont know about the % etc but i do know that i have had Not ONE opaline from 3 clutches... dont know about their current clutch as they haven't feathered up yet. All babies have been either normal greens, blues or pieds...

Oakey, doakey... CHEERS! CHEERS!! :beer:

Good luck with the foster parents

Sounds like a plan

And My Buster is the same too.... They are lovely birds

Congrats - He is lovely

Thanks i will :sad: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer: :beer:

:sad: I had a wild pigeon that i rescued as a pet once. She had badly injured her wing and the vet couldn't set it properly so she never flew again and became my pet. i had her for 8 years . She was so lovely and cuddly ..... there i go again hehe

a little cutie any pics of siblings???? I'm a picture-aholic hehehe

Thanks for the Great picture. I love your cute bubs too My boxes are very different to yours....but you have given me an idea on what to do for mine though... i will make it up and post pics tomorrow :sad:

Thanks for the great advice Kaz. a picture would be great I have lots of spare mesh so i will cut some "Lids" tonight ready for tomorrow. my nest boxes are the type with hinges at the back and lift and the front. I will hunt around for an air cooler :sad:

Ummm.... are the "sliders" the lid??... I dont have a water air cooler :sad: Hmmmm might have to ebay one though hehhe. Would it still work for my out door aviarys.

(((Hugs back))) Chrissie, I cant help you with the medical stuff. I'm so sorry and I Really hope your Percy is okay. Thinking of you. (((more Hugs))) Liv

It is REALLY HOT here! We have had days of between 38*C and 42*C for over 2 weeks now and there is atleast another week of this weather to go... : :sad: My poor birds are sweltering in the heat. They are shaded and not in any direct sun. I mist them with the hose (shhh - water restrictions) but within 10 mins it's dry and they are all hot again. The newly hatched chicks are the ones i worry about the most. When i open the boxs i can feel the heat rush out and they are all panting vigerously What can i do to provide some relief???

I'm not really sure... cant wait to find out

:sad:

They are plum.....Red eyes are a lot brighter red. So i guess that means that the chick will be Cinnamon or recessive then - mum is recessive I have had cinnamon chicks before, but dont remember seeing this colour of eye before - very cool Whatching chicks grow is like unrapping a birthday present REALLLLLLY slowly - "OOO, OOO, OOO what will it be!!!!????!!!!" hehehe

Awwwwwwww new babies - very cute

Very cute pics Has Zeus stopped bossing Hera around??

Look!! There is a 3rd baby!!!! It hatched this morning!!!!! Horray!!!!! Sorry it's a bit fuzzy i used the macro setting but not the flash ( i can't bring myself to use the flash on my birds) I have never had an age gap of over a week between chicks before... will it be okay?? do i need to give the chick special attention to ensure it gets fed etc???? Oh and the second oldest chick has just opened its eyes - they are RED!!! What dose that mean???? Here is a picture Might i add... I have never had a chick with red eyes before.... so perhaps this is BG's chick....???? the other 2 possible dads have never had any babies with red eyes

I agree!! a very lovely little boy

Very pretty colours you have there.... Love the Yellow Faces !
