Derek

Thanks thats very interesting.

Same here. I have the newer version 1996. No photos and no mention in the text of lime budgerigars. This would perhaps indicate that the mutaion didnt materialise into anything.

Hi and welcome.

As Robin once called out to Batman, "Holy rubbers Batman .............. Batwoman is pregnant again".

Of course he is. Our mighty hero is everywhere.

Smiling here. Remembering that the original Chimera from Greek Mythgology was reputed to have the head of a lion, the body of a she-goat, and the tail of a dragon. Well Atef has already dispelled that. He put his Lutino based halfsider hen with an Albino cock and got two offspring. A Lutino and Albino. So the theory of them being sterile is not true. His next plan is to put the two halfsiders together to see what he gets. This man also has some extremely good crested budgerigars http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10706

Have never done any hand rearing so had no need for it.Details of VetaClub at http://www.vetafarm.com.au/vetaclub.htm You also get free telephone support from their avian veterinarians.

I use them exclusively at this stage.

Thing I like about Vetafarm is that the products are specific for the purpose and is an Australian Company. I am a proud member of Vetafarm. Below is a quote about the owner and founder. http://www.vetafarm.com.au/index2.asp

I hope it's okay to link to this site but have a look at this guys halfsiders. He lives in Cairo http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=10778 Pied one side and normal the other as well as Lutino one side and normal the other.

Same link as my post above Nat.

I'm confused after reading this thread. Is Bird Haven and bird_paradise the same member????

Thank you Derek for letting me know about it

Oxfendazole and Praziquantel are the actives in Wormout Gel

Wormout Gel from Vetafarm

I don't know anything about them but here is an interesting read http://www.bcv.asn.au/Melanistic%20Spangle.pdf

Thats great Maesie I am happy for you all. Take care.

okay whats going on. Are there photos as I can't see any ????????????????????????? Edit. Can now. How weird

I didnt someone else did.

Well at this stage not affecting me at all but it seems Batman has had to downsize due to the higher fuel costs we are currently experiancing

Looking good Kaz. As Daz said days/weeks/months depending on the weather.

I use Vetafarms Finch and Budgie Crumbles dry. I mix a little hulled oats with it. At first they just picked through the oats but now eat it well. The 19% crude protein is the reason I use it for the growth in young birds.

I started a similar post a while back. Some good responses on here http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....c=19632&hl=

Here are a couple I was recently looking at. http://www.budgerigars.co.uk/rares/clbodies/cb_ghalib.html http://didiermervilde.bestofbreeds.net/ http://bfsdc.com/budgieclub/Articles/Clear...n%20Kamrath.pdf

Snakes do so have legs !!! You pick one up and turn it over and have a look and you will see hundreds of little tiny legs and feets ................. all with tiny little Nike sneakers on .............................. Oh I knew I shouldn't have got out of bed so early.
