Bailey&Kaluah

Well, after swearing to hubby I wouldnt get anymore birds, I adopted a gorgeous 3 month old rainbow lorikeet on Tuesday. I have named him/her Pogo cause he/she is always bouncing around. She's not tame, but I'm working on that at the moment. I will post pics asap.

All your budgies are beautiful. Do they have free range of the house?

House is pretty bird proof, but there are cupboards and such that they can get behind. Might close off all doors and open cage door tomorrow and see what happens. Will still get net to be on the safe side.

The lacy tablecloth is a good idea. Not real keen on the cage in the doorway, too hard to move if there's any trouble. Will try and get a tablecloth or something similar before next time out. They're back in loungeroom now left door open for about half hour and they didnt even attempt to come out. Will try again tomorrow.

Good news. Even though its only a temporary solution i've bird proofed a room and the budgies and tiels can now have free time. Banjo the galah will have seperate time out. I put the cage in the door way and blocked off all escape routes (hopefully). They havent ventured out yet but hopefully they will discover the cage door is open and want to explore. Later down the track i might get a screen door to put on the room so they can stay out while not home. Will get pictures asap.

I've got a room that can be easily bird proofed but dont like the idea of shutting the door and not been able to keep an eye on them. was thinking maybe could push cage into doorway and block off between cage and top of door. hmm, this is harder than i thought once figure something out i'll let everyone know.

Thanks for that nicknack. I will bird proof my home before letting them out for free time. Maybe I'll still get a net to be on the safe side.

Thankyou everyone.

Are your fids confined to one room birdluv? I'd prefer to do that but the only way to keep them confined is to shut doors then i cant keep an eye on them. Maybe just close off all doors into bathroom and bedrooms and let them have free run of the house?

This is me and hubby Mat at Crookhaven Heads Lookout at Culburra on the South Coast (just past Nowra)

Yeah they're inside. Just have to find a suitable room thats safe. Thinking the laundry with a screen door might be the go. I'll let you know how things go.

Thankyou. Will get a net this week and then sort somewhere out for them to have their free time.

Hi everyone. Just a quick question. My budgies and one tiel arent tame and not clipped (which I wouldnt do) but I want them to have some time out of their cage. How would I go about getting them back in say of a night time or have to go out? Would it be best to limit them to one room? Any advice would be great.

Your fids are so cute

Gorgeous budgies

She sure is. Got her untamed at 5 months old and within a few weeks she was letting me scratch her and after another week or so she was coming out of the cage on my hand. I've now had her for 9 months and she's so friendly. She loves human contact, but when shes out she has the worst habit of biting feet :fear so most of the time its feet up while shes out

Pics of all my fids in budgie pictures :budgiedance:

Here's another picture of Bailey and Kaluah and my tiels Cookie (white face cinnamon pied) and Buddy (sorry pics a bit dark) and my galah Banjo http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z226/ke...buddycookie.jpg Buddy & Cookie http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z226/kelw3082/banjo-1.jpg Banjo http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z226/ke...eyandkaluah.jpg Bailey & Kaluah

I felt bad at first about moving Banjo downstairs but she seems to have adapted okay. She spends alot of time out anyway.

Banjo the galah, cause I wanted an Aussie name for an Aussie bird Cookie the tiel, (boy) not sure exactly why but it just seems to suit him Buddy the tiel (originally thought Buddy was a boy) and was always saying come here Buddy so it stuck Kaluah (female budgie) I like Kaluah and it really suits her Bailey (male budgie) I like Baileys too so thats the reason behind their names.

There's heaps of room. Top cage has Bailey and Kaluah and Cookie and Buddy (the tiels) and though they have heaps of space they seem to like sitting together. I've got 2 feed dishes so there's no fighting over food. I dont think they mind banjo the galah downstairs although she can be a pretty noisy neighbour :budgiedance: . She's not been too happy lately cause she originally lived upstairs and i decided to make a bit of a change cause didnt think it fair that the tiels live downstairs all the time. But overall its an awesome cage and the fids seem to like their home. Its easy to move so I can vacuum which is a daily occurence here

Happy Birthday Blinkie

All my birds, budgies, tiels and galah all go nuts when they hear water.

Very cute budgies :(Laughing out loud):
