I think there was a topic in the past about the difference in the size of show birds in the past and now there size... I can't seem to find it anywhere but I know I read it... I think Daz wrote the thread, I know he commented... It was really interesting reading. They have gotten alot bigger...

Yeah whats going on??? Your the resident Bush Budgie Breeder... c'mon!!!

Well here are some pics of the Auckland Zoo that we went to visit on my son's birthday when we were in NZ... It was a great day, we are going to go to the Melbourne Zoo sometime soon as well because he enjoyed it so much... I took a lot more pics but they didn't turn out great...

I Agree with you Hills, It was a good article but the point you make is very true. There is a very good reason why you don't find lacewings in the wild... lol. They may look pretty but they aren't going to live long... I think it was Dave that posted photos of bottlebrush in his aviary and the blue's and other birds stand right out... only the greens stand any chance of camouflage. Blue's do occur naturally in the wild but again they don't lastlong... I read an article on the net once about wild budgerigar in Florida... (pets that had escaped but survived) they are all now green because the others couldn't survive...

I know what you mean MB it is crazy weather... It's raining heaps at the moment... Edit: Hailing again... grrrr... warm up melbourne!!!!!

I've always used JimmyBanks... just seemed like the thing to do... Its my famous name lol.

Well tomorrow I get back... haven't heard any bad news about my budgie's so I am hoping no news is good news... I am really looking forward to take some pictures of them... not that they have changed but you know just wanna take more photo's... New Zealand has been great fun. Broke down yesterday driving back to Auckland... about 2 1/2 hours away... that was so fun. Wanted to head up to the north today but didn't get to. I went to the zoo hear in Auckland, it was really good actually, lots of birds, and other furry critters. took lots of photo's, I'll see how they come out and might post some up... Well, thanks to the New Zealanders for having me, its been a great time. in 10 hours I'm outta here!!!

very cute KAZ. Looking nice!

I was trying to find it on the net, I know I saw it on a History of Rugby show on TV. I laughed when I saw it... At one point the Australian Captain refused to do it because he felt it belittled them and was only for show.

Sailor Wolf did you know that the first Rugby team to travel from Australia to England did an "Aboriginal War Dance" known as the Haka??? When I read that it made me laugh..

very cute birds there. Very cute!

looking great KAZ looking great!

ahhh just give everyone 100% and get back to your birds

From memory she was bred Crest to normal...

very well done! I like it alot.

Hmmm not a bad idea..

Looks fantastic!!

It is gorgeous... very cute!!

So did you come up with any names???

You are so right JB...some people are in anonymous clubs must be great clubs... so great people want to keep them to themselves... haha, I know there are some people that would have more letters after there name than a doctor if they named every club they owned...

oooh... stepping outside the bcv website... wow you must be a rich club

I would love to be a part of this comp but I am unable to as I haven't seen a photo... I won't know the name until I see the bird

I know, what an outrage... Mods need to start policing this more!!!
