Your photos are great, your puppies have grown so much and i love your avairy.i wish i had a bigger yard

Congratulations Kaz

They are great photos and Gabrielle is gorgeous, i just love her colours. i do not eat spinach so i do not normally buy it but it looks like i will have to start buying it.

Any time the coming week will be fine with me Dave, my husband and kids are home on holidays.

i love the video, where do you get the wheel from, i have not seen them at my local pet shop

It sounds like the Traveller is very attached to her nestbox and is trying to make sure you do not know she has fledged, i hope things go well with moving the mums

If it is some type of condition affecting his upper respiratory system then how would she treat it? Would she need a vet check to find out what exactly is causing it. [ sorry Liv for butting into your topic]

Thank you for everyones advice, i did not think from one simple question that there would be so many different ideas.

they are beautiful birds,

i had my parent raised bird for 12 months before i introduced the hand raised one.i also had a female handraised baby at the same time but she started biting so i moved her to the aviary but even though she would bite me when i put my hand in the cage, the other 2 used to still step up.when the 3 of them would sit on my shoulder, 2 of them would sit and talk to them but the female would bite my ear and neck but even though the other 2 saw her they never copied her behaviour. no matter where the budgie comes from it will need to be quarintined so that gives you time to bond with the new one.if you find a baby that has been used to being handled and then read a article in FAQS that Elly wrote about taming a budgie. The article might also give you some ideas to help with the budgie you have.

It sounds so exciting, only 2 days to go. you will be greatly missed but i hope you have a really relaxing time. I will be praying that your Grandpa stays well while you are away.

i never thought about the circumstances of his raising, he was one of 4 i handraised and the parent raised one used to sit on the table and watch me feed them. It probably does depend on the circumstances of how they were raised to how they will react to other budgies and people. you have a point there i had not really thought about.

i have 2 male tame budgies, one i bought inside from my aviary when he was 3 months old and the other one i handraised. They are very close to each other, love preening each other, feeding each other . They both have bonded with me and my children. Honestly, you cannot tell which is the parentraised and which is the handraised one because i spent the same amount of time with them training them. That is just my personal experience.

Lady is very beautiful.

She is a beautiful bird, it will be nice to see the bubs that her and BG produce.

Thanks for the photos, they are beautiful birds. Tralia and Nibbler's babies are looking good.

Tell her to STOP !! She would not listen if i tried to tell her, i regret giving her my babies. She told me she knows all about birds because her husband breeds pigeons and races them and her brother breeds budgies but i do not think she does. She has them in a cage the size i used to have my birds in and then bought a 3 bird and put it in the cage and did not quarintine, when i tried to talk to her about it she would not listen to me.

Thanks for the advice, the friend who gave me the advice bought 2 of my handraised babies and she is feeding it to them.
