Never been in the position of G.B.'s type of discussion, but boy it make's funny reading on a wet windy day, (for which we are truly thankful after the *****humidity and heat). I had to get hubby to read it himself as I couldn't read it out without laughing, strange what mental pictures you can get , I reckon the fella's probably do it deliberately to newbies half the time anyway. G.B. its okay i have fun back after all if you cant laugh at things like that then you shouldn't put yourself in a position that you have to speak in the terms necessary maybe the whole reason behind the terminology was back in the beginning to keep the women away from the hobby if you ask me just makes it a bit less boring and adds a giggle here and there weather its internally when necessary or openly when permitted or time right :hap: i just know sometimes its hard to hold in im sure i get some people looking at me with disgust but you live once and its all harmless so... frankly my dears i dont give a dam although i do behave when i know im meant to ...

glad you had fun mate for anyone interested our gipsland auction is coming up in june it was my first auction ever birds were really nice with a lot of good breeders me and kazzy picked up a few good birds to start us of and our cheapest one was 20 dollors for a bater and turnbull breed Opaline sky blue boy my most expensive was a 50 dollor note i got 4 birds last year kazzy got 3 i will post a post closer to the day in may to remind you all its worth a look and its very fun kaz ever need a place to stay my homes open you will need a hire car thats all as i do not drive

no ne taken mate i just breed and tame my birds so they come not needing wings clipped as for putting towel or cloth over him i would not do this as he will be afraid of you altogether in and as he will asoshiate you with the towel and the bad cage i say leave his food in their and only put his treats in their you say he likes breaky with you so move cage on to table top for a few weeks and when he eats his morning seed from you when hes finished and wants that toast put a small bit in cage door for him and any other treats eg all his vegies fruit in cage leave door open all time and when he does go in dont close door first few times let him come out with out him being locked up straight away also if he likes to explore what he sees your hands touch sit with the cage yourself playing with the things inside it like hes missing out like its really fun he will clime on to it and when he is looking in their place millit spray in their then walk off tell him hes good boy every time he hops in when you walk back if he doesnt jump out quickly tell him good boy good night and close door but let him out after half hour to show him wont be in their always only other thing i can suggest is get a bigger cage what size do you have now ?????

PLEASE do not clip his wings i tamed him to fly to you you just need more patiance and as i said when you left here if he flys away from you go get him straight back even if you do it five times in a row DO IT he will stop flying off as he will know he cant win when you have him sit with him on your index finger faceing you bellow yor neak faceing your chest he will not have anywhere to look good to fly to he will look up to you as you speak to him and you just give a little scratch as your hand is cupped around him do this every chance you can for 2 to 3 mins then place him on your sholder and start to walk around abit lanning your head to him speaking to him if you clip his wings your trust will be broken hes tame already its time and pataince i say stop the radio only your voice when you get home he will look forward to you then make sure hes the first thing you do go straight their and say hello mate love you missed you comming out to play a bit put on your sholder and proceed to put on kettal what ever just remember the persistence in retreving him when he flys even if it is a hassel :hmm: you will b rewarded greatly for you patiance and effort hes doing great by what you have told me maesies idea about others training tips is good but really he is as she said like a child i also put him away when he flew off more than three times and told him he was not being very friendly so if he wasnt going to stay with me he was going back to his bed

we need to make up printed t-shirts to advertise the forum... That would be a great way to advertise amongst current budgie enthusists... Maybe we could make that a comp on here, 2010 design for tops. thats a pretty good idea jimmy banks a forum tee

Might have to give you a tiny little shopping list again Dave We need either a secret handshake or wear a red rose between our teeth at these events secret hand shake lol crack up kaz mabe we should all just get budgies tatooed on our hand a little logo in between the thumb and index finger lol

Is this what is meant by "backlining"? Us Aussies don't have that much of an imagination when it comes to naming things. Backlining is just what it sounds like - putting lines on the backs of sheep. Generally meaning applying a lice treatment in lines...... not that were un imaginatory just that were straight to the point we put lines on their back ...m lets call it back lining

he is beautiful take the brown from his knees and put on toes and you have my mishka well not mine now lol thank goodness although i did love him

well to be honest jimmy i didnt use her as i brought her from a show cage she showed very nice on day but still a young bird and as she got to breeding age she just wasnt up to the standards that i set myself when i brought her only one person had even bothered to offer us any birds in the form of hens plenty of good cocks but no hens i was looking for a pair for my opaline light green split lacewing i got from nubbly and i got her she was a opaline light green I couldnt get a dk green but the more i looked at her when i got her home she didnt look the same as when i got her i didnt get her right up the breeder let me pay in two lots and kept her their for me she was not the same looking when i first saw her the day i brought her but i just figgered that she may of just showed in the cage not in the flight when i got her home and assessed her i decided that i really did waste my money as she really was nothing i needed she grew very long but her head didnt fill out so she had a pin head in the end i did think a few times of breeding her just because i payed so much but honestly i would of been wasting my time as her head would of just bred me small headed genes even if chicks came out with big enough heads they would of all the cocks carried a small headed genetic which more often than not passes on to all their hen off spring well so i have found over the years big headed cocks mostly with a big headed genetic through big headed hens from my experiance so i dont breed small headed hens even if good directional feather length ectra would of been poping out in any line constantly and if i wouldnt use her for that reason i wouldnt sell her to anyone else to use i believe dont sell a bird to someone if its not going to benefit them so gave her away to a pet breeder for an upsizer

thanks kaz i would have to say this in its self promotes the hobby pretty well ( these interviews ) as it shows you dont need to spend big as most people think just have an eye and a friend in the hobby to help you get started the main friend being your club if in one

yes woops sorry just going with the fact that it was not removed i forgot about the no nameing places thing i just went with the flow im really sorry but i was not saying anything bad about that certain company as for it being her daughter jess who was talking to me the whole time and me thinking it was budgiebum im really really sorry budgie bum you should however get your daughter her own account on here kaz isnt their a law about who uses your account on here as if not their should be theirs been a number of times certain members switch to a friend or something and i wonder why their personality changed really should be a rule GB as she signed her posts as Jess I twigged. I am sure Trish ( the real budgiebum ) gave her permission but it wasnt made clear to all that the user had changed. yes i see your point you are right i just would have asummed as i did jess was budgiebum as some people sighn names others dont and honestly i cant even remember the user names half the time so would not think anything of a name writtin at bottom of some words my bad anyway im just going to s hut up now

well i wont be paying hundreds for birds anytime soon the most i payed for a bird was 100.00 and i actually gave that bird away the other day didnt even use her compared to my other birds even my auction birds are cheaper and better from my experiance unless the bird has paperwork and bloodlines provided im not paying more than 30.00 their will come a time where i will need to buy a very supper bird or two but intill then im sticking to highest max 50.00 a bird with good fetchers and Peront knowledge at least but it has to be really good bird no average not supper or excellent just really good

after working at XXXXXXX as a manager for 1.5 years they budgie on the bag was my idea, as they had printed budgies on t-shirts. the only thing is xxxxxxx didnt copyright it because they didnt know whos rights it belonged too. so i thought what the heck-my idea- my bag, if you have noticed though cotton on do steal from other companies, they sold "lone ranger" and "superman" tees in the kids stored which were an EXACT print to the t-shirts in big w which were on sale 2 months previous. they also got sewed for borrowing designs from just jeans lol. also their charity bags DO NOT go to charity, 80 profit to XXXXXXXXXXXX and the rest to pay for the bag. lol cheers guys Jess well then thats a coincidence then isnt it lucky for you it was your design to begin with but do you have proof as these days its hard to prove things like this personally i thought your daughter was clever to of painted these bags its a bit miss leading saying she did then saying she brought and painted them for resale then claiming you actually designed it if i was you i think id just stick to selling to fam and friends and through club as so you dont get into any legal trouble yourself as for charity bags and XXXXXXX not paying any moneys to charity well i think you will find some amout even if only 10 cents would have to make it their as these contracts are very binding and you can not get around not coffing up the moneys to these charity as a manager their for that long you yourself were illegally acting in a deceiving manner and i dont want to hear the you would if it ment your job thing as you dont know me and i would have had them looked into weather it meant my job or not as thats false promotion to sell items

really then why do they still look so small to me or am i disillusioned and expecting way to much from my birds
