if you move on your pets only do it if you are really interested in showing soon as you get show birds its very hard to move them on no one seems to want them and unless your doing good with them well they are hard to sell yet pets seem to go more than the show type mostly as the show birds are not pretty colors however that will change now you can breed agf and violet they are beautiful spangles and as far as demand violets the colour most wanted yf and spangle it's like sold before their hatched im lucky i can move my birds fairly well or dont mind holding on to them till they find homes or someone rings asking

it will be a pet Maddy you would really be desperate and posibly bit darft to want to breed it into your birds the issue will continually pop up if you did

as said by kaz vets NOW or this bird will surely die squeeking is biggest give up respiratory is involved poo does not need to be bad nor does keel need be thin however as with your hen here crop is most always bloated

yery nice spangling and yes i thought was yf pied ive breed many a golden face pied in my time i would be pretty hopeless if i could not spot on feathering up im not sure yours is golden face though just yf cobalt by looks im guessing spangle hee hee mum was the violet df spangle was she not ??? and finnie and i was right about pied father at least others well they were colony so could be anyone's lol nice job but now please cabinet breed for birds history sake if nothing else

thats a cool name for him hes very nice boy

well may gain enough strength to be pet but i would never breed it is it developing properly ?? other ways or slowly

maddy it does sound like a hip issue i would not be breeding it weather it is good hen or not tame it for a pet and give it away or keep in flight to look at hip disorders are not something you want to be breeding into your birds and i myself cull them at birth soon as i see they are not fixable reason for this is they do struggle to get around as the leg has controle of the bird not the bird of the leg if you understand as pets fine but not many want a gammy budgie

well yesterday and day before and today saw me scrubbing cages cleaning flight and pairing a few pairs 4 to be exact and im going to let my hen lay another round if she still looks good after these two its her first chicks so she should be okay i paired a light green Opaline (my bred hen) x a grey /cinamon normal Rowe brothers cock bird a albino hen (my bred) x a grey /ino/cin/op cock also rowe bro bred (uncle to niece pairing and a tf1 albino hen x albino rowe bro bred cock last but not least my splat hen a opaline cin spangle sky violet hen x a grey violet dom pied cock/op ill put some pics up soon of the pairings

yes id love to know how them binos turned out

wow sorry to hear your bad flood news and im glad you have in under control your young blue is a beautie and as for daddy loving you hes trusted you with his chick and can see you are no harm alot of my birds have this trust the cocks that is i think you will be surprised with the out come of your little fluffy pancake also looks to have all the features of a nice chick emerging is it possibly a cinnamon or am i just seeing things as for chick with the leg issue is it possible it was broken and twisted very young then reset its self as kaz said look it over very close do as she has said checking its main joint points and come back with your results look at weather the legs are same size or if it is longer than the good one also

nice to hear splat i motivated a bit today i washed cleaned bird room and three cages then set them up with three pairs something in the air maybe

may have air sack mite or respiratory infection is the crop blotted ???

i just let nature take its course

i agree with its not your wallet its your vision you need to breed what pleases you not what pleases other or you will lost interest to quickly if you win you win if not well you have your hobby as enjoyment regardless and beautiful birds that please your eye yes their is certain things you must have for show these days like the feather but i proved to myself the other week that as long as i breed true to my want my look and in my own time then winning or coming up among the others is still possible

i actually like this one and i think its got potential to vamp up( or if you like **** your aviary ) 250 is great for that as long as its got no rust your birds would fit in that with room to expand a bit i kept 40 birds in my 6 by 4 foot flight same height so they were comphy just need to set it out correctly so they are not crammed and can fly its easy done no more than 40 though

splat that was a great response as it shows the truth behind what you know not who you know i personally dont need to go putting up pics but ill say this the birds i brought to start my albino line with . only cocks i have breed all my own albino hens i have only ever gone back to that same breeder to for stock for that line and same as my lacewings i brought 4 birds to start with all cocks and i breed my own visual hens then i got 2 visuals hens from the breeder and have kept all split cocks from these hens to two different cocks from related blood so im keeping one line pure and one im producing to be able to bring in as my own out crossed line but with some common blood i decided years ago this was how i was going to work my stud

well im not sure (anyone feel free to help me here ) but i think the breeding cages you buy from shop the wire ones are 2 feet long or almost by 1 and a half by 1 and a half high so in saying that one them only houses around 4 birds thats if you have no nest box and its permanent will hold up to 20 very short term i put my birds 8 to a cage for 3 months when i was in the fires up here so when we evacuated to my uncles for then home after wards before i got my flight up if you were to make it to the floor and extend a pop out bit outside for flying bit more i think you may just get away with it so long as you only had say 30 birds no more what do others think ?? although the two aviary you were looking at much better size i think im sorry im having hard time scaling it all in my head

also this is the normal rate of growth maddy for a good show bird so your baby now is not growing fast quick he is being looked after properly this intern making it possible for him/her to be maximizing his potential

the secret is the cheep patches to tell a violet Grey

is but one baby hun although hes not out the nest yet so may not make it to breeding age the chances are he will but theirs always the possibility of losings him well if im going to get anywhere i have to get 7th at least next shields in albino young birds and 6th in ubc lacewing or my birds have not improved going to be lots of work and very thoughtful breeding involved

im sorry hun your asking on very dyslexic person here so numbers mean not much to me like that if you could tell me in feet i may be able to help but im guessing its not much shorter than 90 cm ?? anyways you only have how many birds now to have in it ?? and with the pop out bit well you could tell your dad you could build a veggie patch under the space you use as pop out is better to not go to floor as mine is be on legs

thank you taboo i do hope he comes on strong also hes just what i need to keep my albinos from dissipating with time and im not ready to bring an out cross in yet so he came just in time to save me

mate that albino weather its a keeper or not is a keeper and yes hes beautiful and may just be the start to my improving my albinos in feather and head wight

thanks everyone for your comments about my birds i love them so all that counts to me okay well i took a picture of the albino and sibling this morning here they are im very happy with my new albino chick and believe his is something very special although they all are hes got something about him that makes you go mmmmmmmmmmmm not bad for a 25 day old and not a mop that i can see :} little brother ill keep you posted to as how they come out

here i got some pics for you from side angle side on see the clear stuff frount on the match stick blind keeps poo from other birds out and in winter their is a shade cloth 75 percent block to keep chill out side veiw other side you can see the shade blind under the shade sun block (its actually for summer days on sky light biut in winter works as a rain mister only letting in bit rain for birds rather than them getting them selfs soked on bad days they may be out inside got orange spots ive had no deaths or hits on window birds are in better condition and can go into weather as please exept when i decide or if they are ill anyways thats it
