I am very happy to fill you guys in on Levi's progress. The first few days I sorta left him and just fed him millet and stuff- long story short he is quite happy sitting on my knee at the moment while I study for exams. So he seems to be settling in very very well, and looks like he is going to be a happy human budgie. I am so pleased, he is so beautiful!

Cheers. Seems like moving them outside was a good idea.

Cross fingers! I have been waiting for these babies for months!

This is my Bushie Pair.

Cheers MB

I only noticed it this morning just before I started the thread

how hot is too hot? Like under a verandah is quite cool on hot days?

1 1 Henry Road, Wantirna South, Victoria 3152, Australia, He used to be around the corner at the regular vet there. But I think he has been at henry rd for ages now.

I pay $50 for a check up - poo cheak, crop check etc etc. Any meds could cost 20+ dollars. But yes, I think you may have been ripped. Sorry mate

Probably a silly question, but why shouldnt you breed in summer? Just too hot?

I love him, he is so sweet and gentle. He used to see my dogs before he got his own avian practice. And he has done so much in the field of research ect. My greatest respect that man.

Okays. All is looking good then OMGOSH! Cross fingers, MY FIRST EGGIE! OH it will be such a loved egg. I am also so thankfull that I have an avian vet around the corner. DR.COLIN WALKER, lives around the corner from me. How blessed!

Well I dont know what the difference is between being egg bound and just laying an egg? They seem to have the same syptoms? She isnt panting or fluffed up...? How do I tell?

Okays, So i guess its just a waiting game till then eh?

Okay, so i have noticed in my breeding cage that there are some very large runny poops. I also noticed that my hen has a very swollen belly. Her vent looks clean and not swollen, it just looks like she has an egg behind it. They have both been in the nest box lately. Is this normal of a hen that is just going lay or do you think she is egg bound. Im feeding her calcium supplements and lots of sprouts and vegies as well as fresh seed and water. So I dont think its due to poor nutition.... HELP?

Im really enjoying this thread dave! Great pics and information. Keep up the good work!

Great thread guys! A really interesting and informative read. Your bird looks like he is in great condition! Ive seen many heavier birds. Also rainbow, your post was very well written as well.

depends what colour dust. Black cars and counter tops show up dirt two i guess. Maybe you should go for a dust colour. heheheh

I defidently recommend the cream colour thats on the hand rail and the pillars. It will certainly make the space look bigger and it wont get to hot over summer!

What a good idea! Im gonna make christmas cards this year with my baby on the front!

I just love the picture of him yawning!

Agreed Neat. MB: I got Mak for $50 handreared, Rook for $35 untame and Levi for $50. PP had two other budgies, "being tamed" for 75 each! And one was full grown (iris rings no bars ect etc). Crazyness

yep. Just clipped

That would be awesome. I am useless at picturing it! heheh
