Awww, they are all very sweet Deb (and Dave). I'm sure they're going to love it in the aviary!

Awwww. To cute!!!

Hi Kim and Benny. What a cutie. Clipping wings does help with taming but it's a personal choice. Spend lots of time with your head and hand close to the cage talking to him, then with your hand in the cage. You'll get there eventually. Some budgies can take longer then others to come around. Good luck and keep us updated.

okay... um, If he was mine, I'd prob get him to a vet for a check up. That's just me and I worry about things like that. As I said before, it could just be an affectionate thing, or it could be the start of something. Better to be safe than sorry I say. They could do a crop wash to check out that there is nothing nasty is going on. BUT, the choice is yours. As I'm sure you're well aware, they often don't show signs of illness until they are quite unwell. Fingers crossed he just loves you!

What a darling. So very, very sweet. Congratulations on your newest family member.

Mine used to do this when they were sick just after I gave them their meds. Is he actually bringing something up? Any other signs of illness or not being quite right? It may also be him showing you his affection?? Hard to say. Any more info?

A bird or two Good luck with that!!!!! lol. I've never been to one, but I've heard they are very addictive and you'll find it hard to stop at a few. I'll leave the advice for those who have been to them. Have fun, enjoy and bring home some sweeties!

Welcome back... you have been missed. I'm really excited for you about your new addition. You husband is a sweetie to do that for you. Happy looking, deciding and picking and I can't wait to see your new friend.

Hi and welcome to the forum. I hope you find your way around here and don't hesitate to ask if you have ANY question. Enjoy yourself here and we LOVE to see pictures please

I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope you don't loose any more birds from what ever caused it. I used to have a blind/cover I used to put on half my aviary, during the colder months, but I found they used to sleep on the uncovered section, so I now don't bother. I agree that they manage to look after themselves. Good luck and bigs hugs to you.

Thanks for sharing this experience with us Daz. I am so sorry for all your losses and the horrible way you had to learn from them. Your positive attitute is to commended. Biggest hugs from me... Maesie xoxo

Congratulations LIV. Well done!!! They are very cute and I hope they're all going well inside.

Oh Dave. I'm so very sorry for your losses. Biggest hugs to you mate. I know the feeling and am sending you all my happy thoughts and best wishes. I hope things improve for you.

YOU CAN DO IT

I think over time, they'll give it a go. If it's anything like their veggies, they WILL try it.

Awsome news!!! It's so exciting. Good stuff by all three of you! YAH...

HE is adorable!!! And, I'm guessing he loves you and is maybe wanting your attention. Can you ignore him? If you can, he will prob grow out of it if he realises you are not paying attention to him when he bites you. Good luck and keep us updated.

Congrats Phoebe!!! Well done

Big hugs xxx I hope he comes back. We know how you are feeling!

Far to early but oh so cute!!!!! It sounds like you've been busy Kaz. I was hoping to get back into breeding on my return from Bali but all my birds are moulting so it's def not the time for them... waiting, waiting, waiting...

I'm so sorry for your loss. Big hugs to you and your family xoxo Your babies are looking very cute. They have grown so much and I love their fluffy faces

Great progress Scott... and what a sweet little bird.

It sounds like you've already been given some great advice already... so I'll just pop in and say hello and welcome to the forums... I'd love to see a picture of your 'Smuggler' (LOVE the name too )

ewwwwwww gross!!! I'm glad it's gone and hope it's 'family' isn't around!!!

Try getting a new bowl in the same colour as the old one... looking as similar as possible. It may help him adjust to the new bowl and take to his old veggies.
