Thanks for your support guys. Whitie passed away this afternoon while i nipped out to the shops. She must have wanted to be alone, and I thought it was unusual that her Toy Boy was leaving her a lone this morning, as he never normally leaves her side. She was peaceful and remained free from illness (no runny poops etc.) - it was just her old body that couldn't keep up any more. I find comfort in knowing that she is a peace now and she has gone before the cold weather has come . Whitie

Thanks Libby, I have never used a crop needle... She picks at seeds though...:hap: She is 14 years old and poor old girl has been hanging on for so long. every time i think "this is the end for her" she does what she has just done again - She has perked up again now. She enjoyed her warm cuddle and now she wants to be back in the cage with the others....

Poor Whitie is very weak today and her Toy Boy has left her side . I currently have her down my top keeping her warm and secure. she is really snuggely and sleeping peacfuly at the moment. as much as id like to keep her there, i cant do this all day :hap: what else can i do to make her warm and secure????

I have a cockatiel going through the same thing right now... he is going to my dad's place in a month and i brought him inside yesterday to tame him and get him used to a smaller cage before his departure. OMG he is going crazy, climbing, pacing, screeching and generally unsettled its horrible to watch :hap: I am hoping he is better today though. So anyway i would agree with Elly and say your Angel is not happy with her small apartment after living in a huge mansion

Good luck with making your decision! It's a tough one. Trust your instincts on this one i think. You don't want her to kill herself, but you don't want to put the rest of your flock at risk either.....

WOW what a fantastic idea!!! It will be HUGE!!! hope it doesn't take too long to build

Thats a very cool cage. I don't know if I'd call it a "Mansion" though...

Hello and welcome

Love Frodo's name. It's Very Cute!!! I didn't realise that Frodo was not with that clutch hahaha, explains my confusion

What can i say... How did you get Frodo??? do the parents have a special gene??

...and jobs that dont get finished!!!

Thats okay... I think there is a settling you can use in Photo bucket to make them e-mail size - One of the others may be able to help you out better than i can as i resize mine in photoshop before uploading them. It's great to see a picture of you too - i love being able to put faces to names " HI!!!!" **Waves at the screen**

I'm not seeing any pictures....????? Edit Oh, there they are.... can you resize them to 450 x 450 other wise they will be changed to links..... More editing heheh They are very cute pics. Oscar is very pretty Looks like Oscar is setteling in nicely

I agree

No...that is not a part of breeding show budgies. Phew!!! I'm pleased - its a horrible practice

Do you think it will be able to crack seed when its older ????

Are you talking about the antibiotics that 'they' feed our meat chickens to make them bigger etc??? or the antibiotics that make sick birds with bacterial infections better?? :wine Personally... I don't like using drugs on my animals, birds, kids or myself. I cringe when a doctor or vet prescribes antibiotics. I Will use them if they are really needed though. I also have the view that certain drugs create weak birds (and humans). I feel germs are good (to a degree) and letting the immune system get strong is the best cure for a lot of disease Not one single antibiotic has entered any of my birds (that i know of) and I have not lost any of my birds for MANY years. The last death i had was about 3 years ago and that hen was about 11 years old - out of the blue she decided to lay and egg and got egg bound with prolapse, she was put to sleep at the vets

Looks great Deb :wine

Hmmm.... That looks like it has had food caught inside the top part of the beak at one stage and has made the beak grow deformed..... I'm not really sure though ???? Still looks like a little cutie :wine

I use Trill and fresh foods as well. In my opinion it is a far better diet then pellets :wine

Apple is very pretty. :wine I really like Apples Opaline friend too

Wet T-Shirt (oops i mean wet feather) competition hahhhaahhaha They are adorable :wine I love your rope perches.... where do you get them?

Hello and Welcome Your cage setup looks fantastic - wider is always better than taller :wine
