Andrew

cute name for a lovely boy, have you got any more pictures? because i would just love to see him (and piccolo of course) :hap:

no clue sorry jenene, but there is a good cockatiel forum you might want to ask, it's called www.talkcockatiels.com and has some great people there an members from this forum, i know Bea is one of the admins there, speaking of which, what has happened to her?

try getting one of those stretchy seed catcher things, its like fabric that goes around the bottom of the cage, should hold most of the seed in the cage and put the tops on your seed bowls, also mabye put newspaper under the cage or dont put them on carpet as to make it easier to vacuum, ive got Bing on my cork and it takes like 30 seconds to vacuum round the cage each day. good luck!

does he always perch like that? looks abit strange to me (possible rickets?)

well you're doing better than i was when Bing first came home, he would be scraed ******** of his balls, it took like 2 months for him to realise they were fun and now he loves them, try roll them along a desk or the gorund of something, eventually she will be curious and play

i got carrot!

i don't know why there was a question, but for some reason to me i don't know whether my brain is making me think strangely but i can't see Bing's cere as being a deep blue, i see it as a browny purple. I'm not really sure if you guys understand as it's hard to explain :S

i always move Bing into our spare room when my mum is cooking with pots and pans, we also have an open space with the lounge room and kitchen connected with no walls etc...

ive got that cage KAZ as Bing's travel cage and it's even too small for him!

instead of seeing who can stay for the longest, you should see who can go without coming on the forum for a day!

shotput??? *notice he is from australia and finished 3rd overall

there still hurting but not as much as they did several days ago, i spent almost 2 hours the other night trying to eat spaghetti carbonara and it had gone cold while i was half way through it > hopefully i'll get there as ive been living off jellies and banana's for days

well he is in my bedroom every time he comes out and there is about a 4 metre by 3 metre space that is clear and i am always in the room with him and always lying down next to him so he doesn't get stepped on

ive seen a kneeboarder down there once, he was using a surfboard with fins(on his feet), good use of things to create a kneeboard

well i thought i would give you all an update on Bing, so here he is in all his glory… he is coming along nicely with his training on getting him to come on command, thanks to CaspersRose! (see video) here he is posing for the camera This is him trying to match the 100m men's in the final at the Olympics… he came last This is just a cool photo that I took of him And here he is doing his happy dance which he does all the time in his cage but never outside (this is the first time ever today! ) And this is how his training is going… all I have to now is remove the ball so he comes without any incentive then reward him with millet or his ball

Thanks Andrew, where are you surfing in that shot? Nice photo,was it taken from a boat? I kneeboard, get waves a bit locally around perth, lancelin and SW... How do you enter a photo for Budgie of the month? Well it was taken off the south side of Floreat Groyne if you have heard of that? it's abit north of City Beach, i wasn't surfing but i was tkaing the photo they are just some randoms and yeh, i've only just started surf photography and am slowly getting better

Well, i started the day by getting up at quarter to 8 realising that today was the day i had to get my bottom breaces on my teeth at 8:30 (i already have my top braces), i got there, the lady ogt my teeth all ready for my orthodontist and left me waiting with my mouth being held open for 20 minutes until my orthodontist finally shows up to do 5 minutes work and then saying okay all done Greeaatt! (sarcasm) , then i walk out of the place and dicsover when talking to my mum that i have a lisp!!! then the day got a little better by me able to finally get a speaker dock for my iPod after weeks of research and saving, that was good. Then we went home and i took Bing up to my room for a training session on getting him to come to me on command and that as going well, he almost comes on command unless it's just pot luck that he comes every time i say Bing come and enticing him with his ball By then my teeth are hurting quite abit and i asked my mum if i could has some pasta bolognese for dinner as its easy on my teeth, she got some out of the freezer from acouple of weeks ago and she leaves to go to a performance and leaves it out for me, i go to heat it up and its beef curry, and the pasta was undercooked so it was very hard, although it tasted very nice anyway i just had to tell someone and tonight is going to be a sleepless night for me as my teeth are going to keep me up all night!

lol he has gorwn up nicely, reminds me to get some more photos of Bing, he really loves that red calcium perch doesnt he? Every photo i have seen of Coco he has a red head

he is the most handsome budgie i've ever seen! i hope you put one of those photos in the budgie of the month

they look okay to me, i love the name of this topic pun off coco pops

im gonna take a stab and say the male is a yellowface type 2 blue, mabye sky blue and the female is a sky blue pied? of some sort i dont know what kind of chicks you would get off them

im so sorry Smudgie, he looked like a very handsome boy little guy :hap:

lol thankyou for that, i think ill try using Bing's ball as bribery as he likes to follow that around...

OMG OMG OMG! This is what i want Bing to do, may i ask how you taught him how to do it? I can't get him anywhere near my hand i try but it doesn't work, i hold the millet and put it on the ground with him, and he never comes to me, he doesn't establish the voice with the command he just comes when he likes, please let me know your secret... and how long you have been teaching it to him thanks, Andrew
