Good to hear crackle is feeling a bit better, best of luck at the vets .

Wow, what a stunning boy you've got there, good luck on your hunt for a hen .

Hi, nice to meet you two .

:bluebudgie: That's probably because he is :(Laughing out loud): .

KAOS naughty naughty!!!! :hap: :hap: :hap: He's figured them out pretty quickly... I'm guessing it would keep him and the digs occupied for hours :bluebudgie: For all his stupid behaviour, Kaos is definitely not a stupid bird, it took him less than a day to figure them out. Murray started sulking because of the big bad budgie and his mean tricks :(Laughing out loud): .

Oh boy....so sorry to hear ths maesie, biggest hugs for you both. I hope all goes well at the vets and little Crackle pulls through, my thoughts are with you both :bluebudgie: . Do keep us updated.

What adorable little budgies! Thanks for sharing :bluebudgie: .

Hi, welcome back, you have a very beautiful flock :bluebudgie: .

Hi and welcome to BBC Sandra, would love to see some pictures of your flock :bluebudgie: .

He's a gorgeous boy :bluebudgie: .

Thanks guys . The budgies are loving their new home and thankfully the dogs arn't to phased by them anymore. Though Kaos being Kaos has decided to torment them by flying down to the floor about half a foot away from the side of the aviary then start chirping, then when the dogs run over he'll fly up to the 'ball toy' and play with it until the dogs go and then he will start again! I watched him do it 7 times in a row this morning. That bird is beyond cheeky :bluebudgie: .

Happy Australia Day. Whatever you were/are doing....I hope you have a great time! :(Laughing out loud):

Some pictures taken today of the (very hot) budgies in their new aviary.

He is gorgeous .

:hap: I think I'd do anything for my budgies (and other animals too of course). My dad is costantly telling me "You care more about those bloody animals than you do anybody else!" (and then he goes and cuddles them and prepares special meals for them) :hap: .

I use them too Kaz and think they're very effective, I also connect them together to make a 'chain' so I can put on lots of different veggies :budgiedance:

Just quietly, I think you may be slightly biased there Kaz :(Laughing out loud): Though not to worry, they are both already on my Very Long List I'll never be able to chose at this rate!

Well the 'big move' is tomorrow, so I hope they like their new home (though Skittles and Jinx are staying as my inside budgies) And as for my parrot preference....I don't know! I have a (very long) list that I will have to narrow down. I very much like Alexandrines, though I've only done very basic research so I don't if the cage would be large enough, though I would get a hand reared baby and he/she would spend all day inside with me. I also love sun conures, but I've read they can be noisey. And eclectus are stunning! So hard to chose, there are so many beautiful birds. Yeah, mum and dad said if I really wanted it, we could build it and renovate later, but I couldn't do that. They understand that my birds (and pets in general) are not just my hobby but my entire life and they do a lot for me (such as neat-freak mum putting up with husks on my carpet ) so even though it wasn't my first preference, I was more than happy to compromise. And yes, I will be forever grateful to nanna and grandpa .

I have also read that pairing two crested budgies produces a lethal gene, but I'm no expert, I'm sure one of the much more experienced breeders will help you out .

Very cute, they look like they are enjoying themselves .

That's great to hear .

Great cage, I'm sure they'll never get bored with all those toys .

Fantastic cage, looks like there's plenty of room for everybody .

You have a wonderful flock there, a bunch of cuties . I love Banjo .

Well, while my plans to build an aviary in the fernery have been delayed, due to the fact that mum and dad decided they wanted to renovate it first (then afterward I can have a bigger aviary than what was originally planned, well that's what they bribed me with anyway .) So my grandparents kindly donated their old cockatoo cage which my uncle made, we had to make a few adjustments; add wire mesh as the gaps were HUGE, make a safety-door, add a roof etcetera. But all in all I think it turned out really well for a temporary aviary (though we still need to do a few more small things), plus when the other one eventually gets built, I can get a parrot like I always wanted...though I havn't told my parents of those plans just yet .
