it wont matter if not much came out what matters is did you clean wound with watered down benadeene

looks yf cobalt dom pie but full picture is really needed sorry

Perhaps instead of asking the questions you would like to explain how you do things? :laughter: That way this debate can be more inclusive instead of so one way. :rofl: Renee..............you opened this "can of peas" all by yourself by your post. On the contrary Kaz, I am most interested in how you acquire Show budgies! Do you, like me, just buy direct from breeders and at auctions or do you still trawl the Pet Shops hoping to pick up a bargain for yourself or friend? im sorry but ren your oviously got a beef with someone and your taking it out all over the sight you dont keep recolds i know that or did i get your **** we both know the true answer their i will say you did pay basically the cost of my birds back to me so im not really complaining their as i knew bofore the got here what would happen to most of them yet if you had of been on the ball you would not of needed to refund me any money as for this comment thoughs good breeders wouldnt go digging around pet shops mate who do you think you are my goodness get your head out of your backside woman our clubs breeders all cull to one of the members petshops well i dont but the others do and if something is wanted then they are directed to the shop its good in the way that the birds are moved on for room and we all know the birds are worth looking at i dont buy alot from pet shops anymore but we have all Colin Flanagan culls in ours not the club members but here in warragul and other great breeders from around here and the only thing you will find wrong with the birds are they are not of colins handful stature the proportion the feather mask its all their 20.00 cant go wrong so i am finding your just a bit pompus and honestly i dont think ive seen much good come from your shed fine im not a show breeder as yet you call me backyard but mate we all start somewhere im telling you now before you look like a idiot id close this topic think about your birds what you are really breeding as you are in my opinion a pocket breeder splash out on top stuff breed it win with it and then buy out cross to breed with that thats not breeding thats babysitting someone elses birds and ringing their hard work im afraid you have anoyed me ren reading this im not sure who you are you seem quiet desterbed take it to the person not us

RIP , we need to keep this in the after hours adults Thread , it kicks off at 1am :what: now thats funny

im sorry but why do you not just call the fisherys and wild life services they are their to protect and remove troublesome protected wild life such as your hawk numbers in the yellow pages even your local council would remove it ours does im pretty sure no need to kill it or frighten it its most probably got its own young in nest this time of year and looking for food why not place a few raw stakes or some brought dead snake food and hang it in an area away from your aviry for it to take it will then be fed and leave your birds alone and you could enjoy its majnesticness if thats even a word id give anything for a hawk to visit my home dayly i defently would not be frightening it away its truly a beautiful blessing your desperately trying to deture its a shame as they are fantastic birds have a heart and share your environment with this fantastic animal its only looking for a feed

i dont think it is its looking very long feathered though like if its not i may just have my first show worthy bird in feather type its a hen so i hope its just very good feather its size is great also im very pleased its grand father was a diploma bird twice running grand mum was huge big yellow lacewing hen and mother is very large and great feather as also her dad is lovley feather and size so could be just a good pairing brothers and sisters are large also but feather is not as long why i wondered if mabe it is bvut i dont think so i will try for thoughs pics for you all to see and tell me your veiws

Thats little rough Renee. So if you were given a super budgie from another breeder (say Cec Gearing) that he had bought in as an outcross from someone else, you wouldn't want to know its background. For the record, I'm happy to provide details to people in all instances as should all breeders that truley know their birds backgrounds mabe ren you just dont keep detail records and this is just one way to opt out of needing to as its pretty lame i must say for you to write a coment that you are not willing to help others if they dont give you the gold in your pocket and also putting a notice out their that anything brought from pet shop of yours is **** and wont breed or what ever as you put it good luck trying with it well that puts me off buying anything from you at all for your own self if i was you i would just stop while you are a head before you sink your ship and for record i never got any background for any the birds i got from you hence why i sold most on paper work helps alot the rezult of my resent chicks proves this i was able to see who was what and how far back their fore useing this info to my advantage to keep line pure in a few cases

thats a good idea i think as i think you may be right with that why i said id pop it if was my bird but would prefer someone with more knowledge take look or suggest a way to go with it my ways all good in words but as i said i have not seen bird in person thats very nice of you clearwing

hay my advice is my own thoughts I AM NOT A VET AND I HAVE NOT SEEN YOUR BIRD IN PERSON but in saying that i stand by what i say i would with a sterile syringe (from a hospital chemist or where ever but brand new out the pack) with the needle part pop so that the liquard leeches out same as a feather cyst splat just a fine **** dont squeeze it though like you would a cyst then bath the popped blister with warm water with a drop of Bernadene i would hate for you to lose a bird as everyone says listen to gb so splat are their other breeders around your house you could ring to come out take a look at her as i would do that first other wize if was me but im different to most breeders id just pop it and treat it like it was a human thats what i mostly do with all animals i come across most live but some do not ...go with your gut i always do

lol thats funny as if it really had 4 legs i think i would have had its own post lol just my bad timming snapping pics splat yes the chicks are looking very promissing infact the lacewing looks so good im worryed it may be a mop :rip: but know.. well hope its not these are all from diffrent clutches the chicks and i would post more pics but i killed my cam with sand at the beach yesterday so im going to try get my friend to take few pics tommorrow for you all and upload them for me to my photo bucket i have way more chicks but wating for the feather to develop a tad first be fore photos

yes mate i agree but this bird would not sit still i have around 20 shots off just yellow fuzz jumping from perch to perch i even left him their for hour to settle soon as i came near so i just grabbed him lea i will keep you in mind if i do pass him on but being old he may not be firtile i was told

thanks amy this bird is very nice he has a short top feather but im told he is geneticlly holding a very large top feather to pass on he is very beautiful so i decided that i will get him a very nice hen with tall feather on top ,wide and of the dark factor intill then he can enjoy time alone in my quarenteen cage im going to start looking around for right hen now alfter all he did breed some nice chicks id be stupid not to try him not one he breed had clubed wing so ..

mate that has just cracked me up so much :rofl: :yes: :rofl: :rofl: i needed cheering didnt know it would be my own **** picture work to do it lol could not of captured it any better even :rofl: if i actually had of tryed and two not just one :rofl: pmsl :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:the sky yf one of them they are only just two weeks the yf violet

sorry kaz the last three were same picture my bad look what i just relized i got a four legged white and half yellow budgie mutant lollooks like some thing from doc Doolittle :rofl: :yes:

he is beautiful with so much more growing and my goodness when he starts to brake cap

yes kaz he has very good blood thats what makes it hard decishion hes from a pure line also :yes: what to do

here are some the chicks i have in nests growing albino and a lacewing a cinnamon grey my yf violet Opaline a couple of sky blue yf chicks someone in my flock is df yf every chick was yf from that one clutch more pics another day of their groth and chicks i didnt put up

no but it may not come out for a few generations dave so im not sure i want to put birds in unless i can see their going to not be depromental to future birds i dont want to sell a bird one day and someone end up with a genetic floor in their stud through me if i know their is a slight risk of passing on a bad trate id rather pass one the bird out of my stud i know i may never know what some birds might have hidden genetically but if i know that possibly something could be in the mix then i would rather have the knowledge of it not one day find out from word of mouth not when i pair a good bird to it and find out from results of chicks

it looks like it is Opaline to me sorry i said cock as you said rec / opaline i thought you ment it was split to opaline ...their for only could be cock but i now see what you wrote you were saying it was rec pied Opaline :rofl: hen sorry its late i should be sleeping she is beautiful i love the heavy v on her no heavy marked hens are not from rec to rec breeding just from poorly marked pairings usually as in badly marked or one peront badly marked but im not sure i know i was told only breed rec to rec unless the out cross normal is a Superior bird to get splits

sorry it took so long here is front picture not sure if i will use this boy after all really need to think about my options he has one small fault but it could pass on genetically im to believe one side his wings 3 feathers seem to have grown with a club ed effect look like a shark fin look one three feathers only apart from that he is fantastic so,.... now i contenplate do i want to risk that genetic fault getting into my flock i will get picture of it when i can hers him like promised

that does look nasty splat i can see her eye is clear in picture myself and this is just me :rofl: i would get a very sterile doctors blade and if it was liquard bubble which looks like it is i would splice it very lightly and let it bleed the liquard out and then i would flush it with a solution made up of boiled warm water a tabble spoon to one drop of benideen liquard id bath it with that dayly morn and night for two days if the bubble flared up again i would then class it as very serious and vet s to get it removed it looks like a spider bite to me or a sty thats what i would do looking at it my idea with birds is what would you do if it was your child :yes: and you were in bush with no doc for miles as it seems to be a blister type thing well i would burst blister of my own or childs and bath it with salt water or better if on hand watered down benadeen good luck i dont see docy fixing it truly but im not a vet

thats really cool congrads
