melbournebudgies

Because Bing is on his own he doesn't have a budgie friend to preen those hard to reach spots and removed the coating. You might need to just give him a gentle rub/scratch on the cheek to help them open.

She saw the kids and immediately it was like "OOOOhhhh, this is someone I'm meant to play with and love!" She followed Alex around like a little shadow until you arived last night and also this morning.

I was wondering how long until you vented here:D I reckon you should put a child gate on the front door and just not let her in at all :budgiedance:

I am really sorry for the delayed, I have just recieved a baby brushtail and it's a little high maintenance at the moment, here's a piccy and a little video, she wouldn't still still for long so photos were hard. :budgiedance:

Hey AV, I went to the pet shop to get puppy food and guess what I came home with :bluebudgie:

He just got her then! I took her with me to go to the shops since I didn't want to leave her on her own and they were home by the time I got back BUT the kids were having a sleep so he decided to have a snooze too. So I snuck in and put her on the bed next to him and he slowly opened his eyes and then the BIGGEST grin you have ever seen spread across his face, it was priceless! :bluebudgie: He has called her Josie (Josephine)

She's home! I promise photos tonight, the covert operation is still comtinueing as the man is out with the kids so he won't get her for another couple of hours.

Birds do sometimes fall off the perch. Even the most co-ordinated little guys can have an unco moment. If she is fine in every other way I wouldn't be too worried, maybe the perch she was on was a little too thin for her.

Unfortunately it's a bit of a mess at the moment because I've had to shuffle things around in the garage to keep them out of the rain while I'm working. Also because of where the supports are for the roller doors there is only one way I can put the flights in, but I'll make it work somehow

So today I emptied the garage out completely (which was no small task!) and I went to bunnings to get the supplies to convert a second hand shed I was given into an aviary. I tried to clean the shed while it was n pieces but it was too difficult so I decided to put it together first. I got the walls up and put the timber frame for the wire front together but I've just discovered that I didn't measure it properly so tomorrow my OH is going to trim the long bit off one edge for me and then I will put the roof on. Once it is all together I'll clean it and then put the wire on, should have it done in the next few days. On Monday my new breeding cages should hopefully arrive at AV's house and I can start organising them too. Next weekend I will be picking up my new BIG aviary. So in the next few weeks my garage should have two large flights (one 2m X 1.6m and one 3m X 2.4m) plus a bank of three large breeding cages that will divide into six if I need extra space and a double wooden breeding cage. Plus of course I will still have my old cages which I can use if space is tight. Wooooohooooooo! The budgies will all be in the garage cages/aviaries and my galahs will move out of their temporary accomodation in to the big outside aviary.

Looks like a falcon to me

She will only be a baby so we will have plenty of time to train her with him before she gets big.

They don't look quite as droopy when they grow up, they have to grow into their skin

That's okay, this one can be the watch dog, our other one would probably HELP someone rob the house

Count down minus 24 hrs!!!!!

Minimum is 50 club rings or 20 of the non-personalised rings (which are a little cheaper), n the future we may keep the club ones just fo our show birds and use the others for pet types but we might as well use them up this year.

Well I have promised myself that I'm not going to accumulate budgies willy nilly so it will be a slow accumulation as I find show type ones that I like..

Also not that cheap if you do the math. We have bought cages similiar but larger for $25 each. If you do the math that's about $2000 for 80 and I seriously doubt it would cost $3500 to get a plumber to set up a self watering system for you.

It is 3m wide by about 2.4m deep and nearly 2m tall

Yep

Eucalyptus is a VERY widespread genus here and is commonly fed on by birds wherever it is found. As long as it hasn't been sprayed with insecticides or anything you shoudn't have any problems. Also you can look for Acacias, callistemons or melaleucas

Any kind of Eucalyptus should be fine, just make sure it hasn't been sprayed with anything

okay, that's it I'm bidding since my parents also said I can borrow their car (which is a MASSIVE thing for them )

I have NO idea, that's the main problem that is holding me back from buying it. I don't mind hiring a trailer but I have nothing to tow it with
