just make sure you keep up fresh food and water dayly and plenty of veg i find a slice of bread everyday seems to keep the birds weight on so the can be good feeders be careful to watch her as if she doesnt eat she could starve herself place a millit in her nest box dayly i would just along the wall dont need to desturb or move the eggs or her just slide it in for her to eat

thanks a lot it really helps me to see others birds they are going to show and ones that win as i can see where my birds sit in relation and how much more i need to put in they are all lovely birds the second spangle is rather regal looking their isnt he

NOT DISSING YOUR BIRDS MATT IM ASKING A QUESTION HERE IM SURE YOU PAIRED VERY WELL ITS OVIOUS YOUR BIRDS ARE LOVELY ...i just want to know why every one ashums its the hen thats be paired that throughs the good with the cock why cant it be the cocks good genetic linkage :question:and an avrage hen ??

you did well mate con grads can we maybe see pics one stage or another of the winning birds please

ooh well I didn't do too bad a job at guessing :rofl: I must be learning something right if I managed to guess decent birds!! :rofl: lol my birds are no way classed as show birds hun im just building my stock up through breeding my own good hens i have years to go before i produce a winner in my eyes

i agree got any more on other stuff i could understand that very clearly thanks

yes she is okay but i probably wont keep her she is small i will keep it on if its a cock its lace could be better their is a small thumb print in their its looking better now i will get more pics soon most chick have feathered up now enough to snap a shot

i just read this im sorry hun you did such a good job not only informing us about their condition and what you found but looking after the beautiful little things rip to them all

okay that chick isnot rec like i first thought its spots just smaller id say its full bodyed not with the strip am i right im i think im goting to wait for these chicks to all feather as with no knowledge of their back ground any suprize could pop up

this is exiting new mate all is going well

im in love nubbly is so beautiful specially with the red all around very nice baby mate

you dont need to cull them mate just dont breed them till you have time they will be fine no different to having 10 ish still need to feed and water 10nish

i got told canary seeds for canarys and breeders chicks can die due to it swelling in their gullet so why i use finch and palannium seeds till 4 to 5 weeks then i mix more canary in to adjust as they start to crack them selfs

yep i have my own documents set up on come and each has picture and family history wether it is still here or sold price i got and ivomectom dates worming dates extra its my show birds im having troubles with i need something more professional looking

it is not a vets job to save wild like hence the wild life shelters and parks the zoo takes animals also we gave them a wombat once its still their

The feathers are wet due to run off from drops. Patience, patience, I am not saying no - just need to think a bit more whats their to think about you plan to doxcy her anyway or are you planing on breeding loulou soon ren i personally think what your doing is a bad example to the people on here whom are not show breeders and know no differences in illnesses and issues or even whom are not show breeders and breed budgies pet type for one you have subjected 4 birds to a possible illness and two you have not even consulted your vet you have no clue what your dealing with and the problem has recurred the eye does not need to leak liquard nor have cheesey gunk on it as you said it does not need to be a bad case of parra birds hold it at different degree of leavels the eye only need to be swollen and the few feathers surrounding be removed from rubbing whats to think about ren your always going on about good old doxcy yet now you have a real reason to use it not just as a preventative you need to think about it sorry but i think thats a bit hypercritical of the advice you so often give a sick bird so anyone whom does not understand the importance of illnesses and the need to work out whats going on to prevent other birds from getting same issue needs to be removed from all other birds at least untill you have pin pointed the issue causing the bird s signs needs to be quarantined four a period of at least 4 weeks after problem is resolved ,...unless not life threatening and you know it can not pass on to other birds before the bird is then reassessed and cheacked over before releasing back to flock at a healthy weaight im sorry ren but your not dealing with this issue in my veiw your just band aiding it with that stuff vet doxcy what ever but it needs something not a friend it is not not eating as its alone its sick with what that's your job to discover and find out then treat appropriately all your doing is risking birds to what ever she has your birds ....my opinion Yes, yes Thank goodness for Freedom of Speech. You are a little late though - I have already put everyone on Doxy. well you changed your mind quick i only said that as you were sleeping on it I will sleep on it and check her eye in the morning and take it from there. glad you saw reason

this guy is my recent hatched mauve hen she will be staying on for a bit see if she feathers up in the right way im trying to succeed in achieving she is hanging her tail though so she still very young just out early dec so..in august i will reassess her again before deciding if she stays a bit longer or if she goes

okay for starts ren you do know that df doms have iris rings wheres rec pied do not their you have your diffrentce a rec pied from a dom breeding may have on eye with an iriss ring and vis a vercer so sf dom and sf dom giving df doms their is no way you can be confused as their not going to have any rec gene their for the df dom will have iriss rings but for hearsay just pretend the sf dom pairing both the birds are infact split rec pied then you will have possibility of df doms sf doms and rec pieds nothing else a combination pied is just name given to the birds from a rec pied dom breeding it just expresses that the bird could infact through out unexpected rec pied if its a dom if its infact a rec pied it may just look more like a dom in its markings as the markings become spazmotic how ever all rec pieds will infact go on to have the black eyes regardless of the fact they look dom or they could be dom but carry the rec pied gene which is why the name combo was giving either way a dom with black eyes /rec pied or a rec pied with dom like markings very easy once its grasped you have a definite dom pie chick the second one the first one is a definite rec pied chick so both are split rec pied from what im seeing

no as much as i love her and her dad is got great blood her mother did not come to the party genetically and i ended up with a small but well poport'ed i must say pretty but nothing else hen and i need to cull back on my pets so no er er wrong going ....like to try again

Good on ya Dave, I am a Christian Pastor and would happily debate the good vs evil or creation vs evolution with anyone, but not on this forum! This is about our hobby BUDGERIGARS! Amen here endenth the sermon.. Clearwing Yes I am with Dav too i am a Catholic and I believe in God to and I believe what Dav said because I am too lazy to type it myself and he did such a good job wording.... And CW is a lovely Pastor dont get me wrong im catholic i do believe in god but i also believe he rewards us with things helps us recognize our decisions are either wright or wrong i use the word universe as i prefer to stay shh on my opinion of god as a such however i do believe in karma and all i said first up but with out god their would be no universe to manifest our dreams and reality's i do not go to church i light a candle and pay my respects to the universe and god with my little girl my son he believes nothing but thats fine also as its hs life we are all different and religion or beliefs should not be a part of our coming together and respecting each other we were all put here for our own special purpose and we all carry different gifts and healing for someone out their we were all given two ears two eyes and one mouth as so we can hear and see , before we speak as we grow this is the order of things as we grow we tend to speack then hear even if we can see i believe we need to take back the order of which things are done to better your life god created us to do these things in order of reference so maybe if we kept this order through out our life's we would understand things and others better thats just my opinion
