I agree. My aviary birds get plenty of spinach/silver beet. My breeders occasionally get it but not too often as I as told it lowers calcium intake.

thankyou very much Dean it is interesting about the opaline. I was under the impression it can be used to give more throat spots to birds. I've been told to use a heavy spot opaline with a light spotted normal to get more spots.

1.banana - Never tried it. 2.beetroot - Yes My birds love it. 3.lettuce - Too much water, not good, similar to celery 4.beetroot leaves - never tried. 5.apple carrot - Never tried apple, seeds are bad. carrot is excellent. 6.cabage.i was told that cabage was bad for them is that true - its toxic. 7.cucumber - never tried. 8.bokchoy - yes mine love it. 9.silver beet - yes mine love it. Do not give it to breeding birds too much as it stops calcium intake or somthing. 10.celery stalk and leaves - no, too high water content. 11.mango - yes. 12.grapes - I've never tried. 13.corn. - my birds number 1 fav vegetable.

Hi al. I've heard different mutations do different things with reguards to breeding. I've heard- spangles increase size. rec pieds decrease size. Cinnamon gets rid of suffusion. Are their any other mutations that do good for other mutations? Any information on this would be appreciated. thankyou,.

very nice babies.

tiny day 10 Tiny and 3 of her mates, the other baby is still in the nest box. Completley unrelated but here are some other chicks. one looks to be a cinnamon and the other a yf skyblue. Cant wait to see them mature.

is it possible to get a skyblue yellowface greywing chick? I believe that is what the youngest chick is.

I also love ringnecks. I've always liked them.

okay thats good shannon.

Excellent pictures Dave. Hes even trying to take flight in the cage

wow I've never seen anything like it. Thankfully you will look after him and he will get better. Will his feathers regrow?

I like the dom pied cock shannon. Does pair 4 have eggs? The hen is out of condition and if she is not laying eggs for you, we know why.

yeah its frustrating. Watching them go back and forwards constantly, Its not as if we are asking alot. Just to stand still for one photo. Some of my birds hang from the perches upside down like bats.

thankyou all.

that picture is hillarious.

I check if the ring comes off as soon as I put it on the chicks. If I cannot slide it off Il eave it on.

56. does this game end?

54 This must be a winner.

I agree definitly cock. I always pronounce it like SEER or SEAR Thats how I've always done it I never knew any different.

52. Did I pick a winner?

Yep

I have a 39 day old chick that sits in the nest box 24/7 and I've never seen it fly. Not sure if their is somthing wrong with it, it is either very lazy or has somthing wrong with it. I have a pair of adult birds with their last clutch of babies of the year. The babies ages are: 43 days. 41 days. 40 days. 39 days 37 days the 39 days and 37 days babies are not even fully feathered... not even close. Im beginning to think their is somthing wrong their. The 43, 41 and 40 day old birds eat on their own so Im wondering if Im able to put them in a baby cage now? So the parents have less birds to deal with.

tiny day 9. Almost double digits. Loving her leg ring.
