Regardless of the reason... Congratulations on egg number 4!!!

I must see the photos next time!!!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and kind words. Your support means so much to me and my family. No more news as yet, but I'll keep you all updated. Thanks again everyone.

Welcome to the forum. You have already been given some great advice. I agree, cover the cage, keep them in a quiet room, and let them adjust. Keep us updated and don't be afraid to ask anything!!! We were all new to budgies once.

Thanks guys for the photos. It looks amazing. So many BIG birds and beautiful varieties. Very cool

Oh my, how divine are they ... I'm in love!!! Budgies of the month?!?! :sad:

For those of you who remember when my grandpa was sick with cancer earlier this year, well his wife, and my Granny now has it. She has been diagnosed with Pancreas Cancer. It is too developed and in-operable. She lives 4 hours from Melbourne and her local hospital wont touch her. She is being transfered to Melb so they can drain the bile to make her more comfortable and in less danger. Then, it will be pallitive care until the end. I don't know any more details, or how long she will have. It's all a little to much to deal with and understand at the moment. All I ask is for your prayers for my beautiful Grandma, Grandpa and family. If I'm not around much, or seem a little vague, that will be why and I appoligise now. Thanks all, Maesie xoxo

All I can say is be very careful. Many breeders have had bad experiences with colony breeding and fights. Many of my hens are missing toe nails etc... because of this, and because I worked and couldn't watch them. Even if they seem fine, it doesn't take much. All that being send, many breeders colony breed with no problems. Good luck with them all, just be careful.

True... you don't want to confuse them at such a young age, or push any alternative lifestyle choices onto them

She is small, or is he just big? My hen has 8... I'd be happy to post some of my excess up to you if you like!!! . Good luck with them, and I hope they are all fertile. If they are named B1 and B2, if all three eggs hatch, you could call them Amy, Lulu and Morgan (after the three Teddy Bears on the TV show )

= 8!!!!!! The first egg is due to hatch on Sunday, so friday night I might give them another 'candle' to see what's going on. It's all very exciting

Oh... sounded good , damn! I'm only really looking in the suburbs around Geelong, because if I move too far away, I won't be able to afford to drive to work (with the petrol prices grr)

Great 'first' job!!! Congratulations

Thanks for the hug Elly! It's hard not to be sad etc... even though you tell yourself there will be more places, and better places, and I am in no hurry. After seeing the place though, and applying, you can see yourself and your furnature in there... mmmm, must move on. I did decide though, that I am going to be moody, upset and angry tonight... and I have eaten lots of chocolate, chips etc... Then, when I wake up in the morning, I will move on.

Yeah... a little too far Thanks for thinking of me though! Cheers.

I didn't get it!!! I know things happen for a reason, and there is obviously somewhere else better for me, but I can't help being cross and pretty upset. So... back looking more than ever... it's going to be a long few months...

Just divine Very nice colouring too!

Sounds like a great plan. When I make things for my avairy, I buy my wood from a local hardware shop. It is all 'untreated pine' I have never had a problem with any of it. I always sand it slightly, and wipe down. I also use natural branches. Here is a list of Safe wood/plants. I personally wouldn't use any type of glue... but that is just me. I'm not sure of its safety value etc... Draw yourself up some plans to get some good ideas. You'll also need to post us some pictures when you're done

Awsome! I'm glad you ended up getting it. Your guys are going to LOVE it.

Looks fantastic!!! Congrats and I can't wait to see MORE pictures!

He's baaaaaaccccckkkkkkkkk!!! Quick everyone, pull up your socks! :hap: welcome back and I'm glad you had a great time!

Great news! :hap:

It does look funny, I've never seen a hen line them up like that before :hap: Maybe she's a little Obsessive Compulsive (OC), and likes to line things up and have things organised?

:hap: They know they have it well, and just don't want to leave!!! lol.
