Yellow Face Violet Opalines are my fave

WOW there is a big difference in size (poor HEN!!!). I can see how 2 chicks could fit in there now there would be just enough space for them both. Good luck and i hope its TWINS!!! :hap:

Yep, Vinegar is used on any galvanized wire etc to neutralize the Zink Thanks, Gawler is lovely. it's not too country and not too city, just right

See in Libby's Signature, there is a link called "how to post pictures" you should find all the info you need in there

I live in the middle of a new estate and this is my aviary It's 6 feet high, 9 feet long and 5 feet deep and cost about $700 new. it comfortabley holds 20 budgies and i do a bit of breeding in there too

Thats good to know. Thanks. i really thought those pesty little mites were contagious, but its great to know they dont seem to be

I'm sorry, but i haven't had to look for that kind of medicine, so i cant help you there . The lady in the local Gawler petshop is really nice... she might be able to help. In 14 years I have only ever had 2 birds that had mites in the past and once treated (with castor oil) have never had them back again **TOUCHES WOOD!** **EDIT** I would also seperate ALL your infected birds from the healthy ones as the mites (as you would know) are very contagious

Perhaps this would help (not my picture - photo from ebay)

I'm in Gawler (1 hour north of adelaide )

Hello and welcome. If you cant find the medicine you are after... I have effectively treated mild scaly face with Castor oil. use a coton tip and treat twice a day for about 3 days - careful not to get the oil in the eyes, nose, feathers or beak. Treat the legs too. then repeat in about 2 weeks to kill baby mites that may have hatched.

How exciting!!! What an awesome space you have there! Your breeding room is going to be wonderful. :hap:

What Operating System do you have???

I have budgies and Tiels in together, so my budgies get access to sunflower seeds 24/7. Like the others have said, they are fattening and you need to be careful not to give them too many. My birds get lots of exercise so it's not a problem for my birds... I have heard that some vets discourage sunflowers for budgies because they may cause fatty cysts...???? Personally, i have not had a fatty cyst in any of my birds....

Congratulations Julie and Kaz!!!! :hap:

I have had twins from one egg Liv :hap: Read this......http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index.php?showtopic=14683&hl=twins WOW thats facinating!!! Your chicks must have been TINY when they hatched... they would only have half the space to grow...

thats really cool and weird at the same time. Dumb question coming.... can you get 'twins' from a double yolker???? OR is it still just a single chick???

thats a lovely picture She IS a SHE... in the other pics on your other post she looked like she was going blue... She is a little cutie

Your setup looks really good, a bit empty but they have plenty of space. You have 2 seed dishes which is great if they are fighting over the food!! Hera is looking like a male in these pictures.... Is her cere Blue??? or is it just the photos????

They are beautiful cats... I am not really a cat person... But Maxx is adorable with his strong dominant stride

Thats exciting news!!! hope you get some eggs soon from your spangles. I love your YF grey. He is very handsome. Good luck with that pair too

Your babies look very cute. i love their light colour Roll-on more feathers - It's great to see the development of not-so-common types

"Who's a pretty boy then"

Nice to meet you Julie and family!!!!! :hap: You all look lovely and its great to put a face to your name
