They do not have to give you a phone line and there is every chance that you may have to pay for it to go it.

I thought I still had the article about this.

I love cats too, and my cat is strictly indoors as well (I get annoyed when my dad says "cats should be let outside"). Actually, my dad went to a biology conference the other week and he meet someone there who thinks people should be allowed to keep native animals as pets: why should we be keeping non-native animals are pets? We have stacks of native animals in Australia that may make good pets. Like budgies! I'm so proud of them... I don't consider the budgies that we keep these days as being native. Sure they originated from them but through years and years of inbreeding they are no longer anything like the native budgerigar.

Thank you. One of the most sensible comments on this thread.

I love it.

He is crippled but alive Liv My concern is others maybe under there. I am about to catch ALL aviary birds and rehouse them elsewhere for the time being ( I have two empty metal aviaries I can use ) Then I will start to dig up the tunnels under the storage room where they seem to be, and let the dogs try and catch them. Getting closer to elimination now Kaz.

There was no best adult or best young bird. Only the types such as normal, spangle, pied, clearwing etc.

The best what ???????????????????

Then perhaps you would have to say the same thing about every type of cow, sheep, goat, horse etc etc etc etc. All brought about by humans interfering with nature. Even our own beloved little budgie. Look at the original bird and what you see at shows. Humans interfering with nature to produce something different. Who has the right to say if it should exist or not. Thats life ..........................

I see this as no different to those folk in Australia who imported budgies from the UK back in the 80's. Even then there was an outcry from certain quarters that it was the wrong thing to do. As a result of that we now have some beautiful big show birds.

A bit of off topic but perhaps relevant. As you all can see in my signature I am very big into camp oven cooking. With that also goes native food cooking. Every year in Alice Springs is a major Native Food Cooking Event. For the past few years, feral cat has had a category of it's own. People actually eat and enjoy them.

Also on this forum.

Some just take longer than others.

Thanks for that. Yes everyone has something different to offer and at the end of the day I will most likely go my own way after taking in all the advice I can. Derek

Small cup hook screwed into the front of the box. It hooks over the top wire bar.

Here is a photo

Looks good. There is a breeder down in Dubbo uses them for breeding cages. The nest box sits over one of the doors.

How would you all like to have someone hold you down and pluck the feathers from your *****

Hi and welcome. Derek

I have been impressed by your responses to what I see as sensible management of your birds. I was wondering if you would post your feeding regime. Things such as: 1. Seed types/combinations 2. Breeding season 3. Non-breeding Season 4. In the breeding cage Thanks. Moderator’s Message edited for typos in topic title

Hi and welcome to the forum but ya gonne get into trouble cause your signature is to big

We have traps set tonight inside, and the dogs will get anything outside. I know I don't really have to say it but be careful because as you know the blighter/s will be back for sure.
