177 when your birds know you better than anybody you know 178 when the only members of your family that get a gift other than the three children are ....of course your flock of budgies 179 when your budgies fill your emotional needs more than any person ever could (bit sad but true ) 180 when you have seed stuck in between your toes continuously 181 when even when you clean the house vacum and everything theirs still seed and the odd feather flotting around the house 182 when your birds needs are priority over your shopping list

lol yeah but i enter d my one last night i think its way more me than any of these hee hee :rofl:

well got board and here is the results look mum im the Christmas dove ' and from me and my flock have a very merry christmas and a fantastic next week into the new year blessed be ...gb

i love the one blue feather

any more pics splat

yes i do i love this hen shes not much looks but shes great in all other ways her last chick was a half pet and i knew then straight up she was good will post picture with mum and dad and baby together i will take one she is better than both as shes got shoulder and height until i see her after molt i cant comment much i will take picture of her other daughter two the pet one she has amazing head on her will up load and post back later

shes got some good blood in her off top of head she is from my gina house bird and his blood lines are good but not sure if i should paste all over bird sight as that would give away the make up of her birds sorry the hen is one i saw potential in from pet shop only a bcv coded here is picture presenting to him ... lol and first day in aviry ..but not in their now have all babys in baby cage now i love her spangling

well im sorry but i think normal grey green cinnamon not yf as face not yellow enogh for yf2 and not a astralian yf and type 1 its to dark so... oh i cant even see cheek patches so .. but i see alot of grey in the green mixed with cinnamon this has that efect of patchyness i would not rule out mauve yf if it is a yellow face but not grey yf have you other pictures of her near sun no flash or saturation photos

yep sure am ... i knew hunting down thoughs good backgrounds and bloodlines was worth the time and effort rather than buying what ever i could get it makes me understand totally what people mean by its the blood as well as the bird

It is gratifying to breed your first "monster" Mine was "Magic" and he is a stunning Sky Dommie Pied, even better is that he is a natural stud bird. i have a few monsters but this one im specially proud of as stance markings color everything is superb and alas a hen :rofl: im lucky most my big birds are hens with one cock in amongst them would you like to see pics i will get some tomorrow if you like of my bigg bubys do you have picture of him any one feel free to post picture of you biggest most proud buby i would love to see them :grbud: :rofl:

Well I used untreated pine to make my aviaries and I painted it with non-toxic paint to ensure its longevity - However, my budgies still like to give it a good chew ... to no ill effects though cause it is safe. :grbud: Most paint is toxic to budgies ( and that can be compared to quantities ingested too ).......unless you bought child safe paint. The green paint you used is normal fence paint, water based, I believe.My budgies chew the paint in my aviary too. Wish I hadnt painted some surfaces........I may yet cover them....the ones they get at anyway yes kaz im in middle of covering wood painted with a mixed batch of thind down paint my dad used i have lost birds resently and i belive its to poisioning im getting all wood removed and replaced with untreated pine this week end and am covering all painted framework with metal plates washing it down thoroghly and putting a metal edgeing along the bottom of my newly paved terracota tiles as so birds can not get damp edging im a fraid birds may of had cocci or poisioning or both its undesided as yet so doing proventitive for both will find out soon which it was or if both but better to cover it now and be safe before returning birds to flight

okay so this is elly short for ellyphant ...yes i know thats wrong spelling but was by choise this time lol this is elly next to her older sister by12 days their was 9 eggs but only three lived due to diffrent reasons breach dry eggs extra was my first try in bird room which failed very badly elly was second last egg to hatch :grbud: im glad she did she is going to be a stunner and a great stud hen just look at thoughs feet shes only 8 weks old this weekend

now that really clarifys to me why i call very small budgies canerys lol very cute

very good rezult well done mate

listen to kaz i lost birds from the try being missing they like snakes lol

budgies do eat small bugs and things but not really all that much as macka said their got wrong beak for bug catching i tryed putting meal worms in aviry once the birds just were more interested in what they were a few pecked at them but no one ate any i came in next day and they were just crawling around floor just as many as i placed in so thats that meat out ...the birds will eat the odd spider why you need to keep them out of aviry is alot are poisonus to them if eaten and bugs with crunchy shells but they mostly just crunch them and thats it
