Awww, hugs to you both mate :hug: I hope he can move on from this and isn't scared from them forever... I hope it all works out in the end.

Awww, I'm so sorry for your loss. :hug:

Oh my dear friend... you can not leave us :tut_tut: That simply will not happen. I have sent you a PM...

Yah... I'm thrilled for you! Excellent.

I can imagine the fun you guys are having. When I stayed at Deb's, we had many a late night over birds, BBC and life in general ...

How cool!!!

My sister and I used to sit in the lounge room, on each end of the couch and talk to each other on MSN... very funy... especially with the rest of the family in the lounge room non the wiser until we started to pee our pants!!!

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! They're the ones I've seen... They are in the catalog for $69 and $99. The only difference I can see is one has wheels as they both seem the same but I'll have to look at them. We have one at work and it's also treated like cr** and it still sucks!!! lol

Hi and welcome to the forums. He's adorable and congratulations. (sorry for the loss of your other bird ) Here's a link to SAFE WOOD. If you check your back yard or local park (make sure they don't spray), you can use branches from there for his perches. Some members bake them to remove nasties, or you can scrub them down with vinegar and boiling water and leave in the sun to dry... then add. He'd love some fresh branches too, to nibble on. Just be sure to hose them off. I hope you feel very welcome here. We have loads of information in the FAQ's and we also have a search function to look for anything in particular. And remember... ask away if you can not find. We are all hear to help and share our knowledge.

As you alll know... Gucci and Dolce are my first inside budgies, and I'm finding my 'al cheapo' vacuum cleaner doesn't seem to suck much up, let alone bird seed or feathers. I find I vacuum and much of it still seems to be there... so I'm thinking of getting a better one. ( current one is 2000w and a bagless) I have seen some wet and dry ones at Bunnings, I think they are called Shopvacs? They are on wheels and are often used if workshops etc... Does anyone have one of these and if so do they work... If you have anything else, please let me know. Thanks in advance

Awww, biggest hugs luv. So hard to decide upon something like this.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so happy for you!

Awwww :hug:

I would not buy any bird from someone who doesn't know the difference between a canary and a budgie Deary me!!!

What a lovely photo. Thanks for sharing... I'm glad the night went well too!

Great to see you back... and we all love the new emoticons.... especially this one: (she has a history )

Thanks for sharing and it's great to see you around again!

Excellent news!

If I am correct... both consist mainly of WATER... which can cause the runs. So they may eat them but both contain very little nutritional value, so you'd be better of feeding them something better.

:28: :28: :28: So true!!! lol Check out this topic : DIY toys and this section: Setting up a cage/aviary... there are heaps of toy topics in there. You and the kids could make some toys for them instead of buying them . Good luck and I look forward to seeing your creations or bought gifts!

What a lovely photo... thanks so much for sharing . The wing clipping is such a personal choice. I have decided to keep Gucci and Dolce's wings clipped for their safety around the home... not so much in fear of them getting out. Just remember, what ever you decide is not permanent... they'll either grow back or you can re-clip them.

Biggest hugs to you :rofl: I'm so sorry for your loss... but as you said, everything happens for a reason. When the time is right, it will happen and I look forward to sharing the joy with you then!

Congratulations!!! How very exciting :rofl: Bella and Monty and so cute (IN PERSON TOO) and I'm sure their 'kids' will be too!

I'm so pleased you have the answer you have been craving for for so long! Research it and learn as much as you can... you may be able to find some good books or articles aimed at children, so all your kids (esp the older ones) can learn why he is the way he is... I'm thrilled :rofl: (I'll chat to you further over the weekend...)

Oh yeah... I remember reading that now you mention it... My appoligise... been a very long few days!!!
