New To This Sort Of, Need A Little Advice...
pet shops rarely know anything ratz gave you some brilliant advice it is much better to find a local breeder than buy from pet shop not only are chances of bird being sick less but price will be cheaper also and most will offer you to fall back on them with a call or what not if you have questions welcome to forum gb

well you know your always welcomed splat i have enough room for you to stay if you liked i could cook you tea and spoil you for the afternoon oh that would be fun i haven't been able to share tea or lunch with anyone for some while and i do love putting on a good meal for someone i hope you do decide to who knows maybe we can arrange a aviary visit here or their if you gave me enough notice i could inquire as to if it was possible we have a few interesting people with a wealth of information i think are truly worth visiting if they didn't mind but if not we can just sit out on the banana lounges with a few cold drinks and watch mine :}

thank you dave i have only breed 6 albinos this year but all are very good in size two are bad in color but their heads are way better than my better colored ones but being hens with good size and heads i will keep and put to my best / albino cock their uncle hes a grey so hope this will rectify the colour issue in any more offspring besides if i get split cocks well i can then fix the colour in generations to come by putting them to my grey hens i have breed 7 grey hens this year that ive kept for future breeding my albino and lacewing lines im, uploading more pics now so will have other pics latter on of my other birds

The Birds Few Days Ago
in the newish pop out its still not completed but working into the bottle brush albino hen ready for breeding this feb /march her sister same clutch my grey dilute boy hes going to go with my best albino hen whom i have not got a picture of so i can get albino/dilute cocks and grey/ dilute hen im pretty sure the albinos are all masking grey as they are all perfect color with no suffusion at all and their full brother recently had 15 grey /albino cocks and 3 albino hens from a grey hen not one bird was another color so if im lucky either hes masking df grey or they are just all grey birds under their white coats either way i got a chance that at least a few the /albino cocks from him will be df grey next years breeding will answer that remember ..........little toe ?? well shes not to little anymore intact bigger than her brother still not as big as my other birds but shes a good solid hen so and will in cress in size both ways in 6 months time :}so stays ill find picture of brother somewhere he is a possible cull so i took more pics of stayers not leaves so i can decide on if they have what it takes to improve others in flock okay lacewing hen im not actually sure if this is one of two i was gifted from somebody or if its one i bred im leaning to the giftd ??? as im pretty sure this hen has more back skull than mine either way shes lovely and not as yet breed-able age will need to find out exactly when she will be ready actually i finally got the ring codes so ill be doing that soon although this picture does him no justice ill be pairing him to the hen above when shes ready :} hes my grey green /op /lacewing/blue cock from gg-stud wa im hoping he will click with her and the chicks be in between both of them dads stance mums broadness which is not showing in picture and mums direction feather above cere with dads above head length :} well see

yes all lovely chicks and birds beautiful flock- If You Could........would You ?
im glad everything's falling into place for you kaz im so glad that all turned out well i told you it was fated as soon as you told me that you had a ground figer in your head that just kept standing out you manifested this one into your life it was a given from day dot im very happy for you you knew what you wanted and you followed you dream you went for it and achieved i hope others take your experience and put their own hopes and dreams into Fushun life's to short you are both going to be happy once all the moving settles i am going to wish you all my best now i will be thinking of your family over Christmas enjoy your new life my friend and take it all in you have a plan and its all been falling together over the last few months your finds when looking for furniture have all been sighns that all is going you way i love it- New Pair's
these last two pairings are beautiful mate id love to follow their out comes good luck- How Many?
well their would be no range in the other answers you got why no one else responded im guessing kaz has given you maximum amount that cage will hold myself i would of said 8 so.......... but 10 would fix well 8 would be happier with more room for them to move- Regurgitating Seed?
best way is to put bit of medicated water in a finger draw and thats the only water she has access to also take her water away for 8 hours then put the finger draw in she will go straight to it and drink that way when shes drank that just replace the water in the finger draw with more medicated water as needed (when gone )- Budgie
Gotta totally disagree with leaving it alone ....sorry. Its urgent you remove built up poop as it can block the further passage of poop and toxins can build up in the body. Health FIRST, taming second. Urgently get some lukewarm water and clean all the poop build up away. then put white paper under the perches and observe the state of the future poops to assess its health level. Let us know what the bird is like and its poop afterwards. yep i agree with kaz and her ways much nicer than my way can tell i breed showbirds now lol id have always washed a birds bumb but now i just pull away feathers but he will love you more if you just wash it gently it will just be from being new and his new environment good luck hun but poo has to go as kaz said he will surley get unwell if left blocked- Lacewing X Tcb
GB looks like you inputted the info correctly therefore your results are correct. For those who are not familiar with scientific terms - 1.0 denotes male and 0.1 denotes female. Ignore the term Pallid in this instance. Lacewing is also correctly referred to as cinnamon-ino the hyphen denotes linkage of the Cinnamon and Ino gene. In matings with Texas Clearbodies treat the Lacewing as an Ino it will give the same results. yea lol see your grand lectures do pay off my brain is functioning best bit is i calculated all the out comes myself then proceeded to use the calculator to see if i got corect infomation seems im still simer than i dim and i forgot the name of the person whom asked the question but to you (sorry ) just watch the cinnamon in the clearbodys if you breed your / clearbody/cinnmon cocks you produce to a normal hen you will weed the cinnamon clearbodys out this way slowly but surely good luck with it all- Going Gaga Over Greens
your birds are looking good and enjoying that treat summer is great time for all the new sprouting seeds- Df Rung Birds 2010/2011 Breeding Season
I am very happy I dare say if my boy was in your UBC show he wouldnt have placed so well and definitely wouldnt have taken out BIS! I know you have some gorgeous birds GB and it is only a matter of time before you get a #1 prize yourself. thanks dean you would be surprised he may of down well i think he certainly sits fantastic has good backscull and very neat he would of placed well i think yes i will get something oneday at moment im happy to breed my stock hens and work my stud up i only showed the three birds in the shields as they just happen to get out nest and just happened two of got chosen for the team the third one was just fill in it came last as i asumed it would- Bleeding From Vent
are you sure it was from her vent was mabe a small cut on toe shes rubbed it onto vent or did yu see it drip ???- I Need Some Help!
sounds like you got it under control just so long as their crops always got food they should be right though times r good and if bubs are feathering normally and growing well then you have nailed it good save good luck- Budgie
just very genitally pull the few feathers from around his bum area so he can poo with out the poo sticking or if you prepher carefully trip with sissors id just pull them out could just be sress from new inviroment is he new ???? - My Son I Entered Him In Model Comp , Hee Hee
