  9. i believe its called quality of time and love its sharing everything from your shoulder to your bed trust and just having that something special in your chosen bird every bird has its own special thing its finding its thing when you have that bird will love you for just knowing what it wants respect for each other all the same things as with a human its a relationship between you both main thing is love no loud voices not yelling lots kiss hugs and bed sharing make them feel special with in a few weeks they will fly to you soon as they see you out of love and want to be with you its that easy
  10. If you notice budgie behavior, they can be best friends with one budgie one day, and the next day, running that very same budgie off the perch. Four months is still a young budgie. Not sure that you can "train" a budgie in that length of time to do anything, so I doubt that you've been "giving in too much." He may just have that type personality. Are you sure he's a male? It's usually hard to tell until after the first molt. You may have a little hen on your hand. They are sweet, but temperamental. Very! But, I love them to death. you can train a budgie in two weeks two fly to you you just need to know how so yes you can tame a budgie alot in 4 months a very lot with all the techniques*mind gone blank cant spell it* breeders are using these days seems like you can get them tame in under a month it really depends on the bird houman i choose some and others they choose me so its easyer if the bird chooses to be friendly to begin with i got one now i tamed for someone but they never got back to me its a hen she just loves company and always wants to sit on my sholder when i feed everyone else so i take her out cage and let her its her treat i never tryed to tame her she tamed herself
  11. im waiting for them to come to victoria next year im told ????

    kaz is right about everything she said and many a bird on the show bentches are flecked i myself wouldnt show one but i defenently wouldnt cull a very good bird for flecked head ' it is something however that if you dont watch can over ride your flock very quickly but flecked birds tend to have good feather
  13. nice to hear you took the anishitive to get vets opinion well done rips right you can od on calcium

    fireworks near the nationals you cant be serious however they wouldnt be as stupic d as to hold them near where the birds are being held ....would they
  15. Please don't. YOu haven't even had him a month, yet. He's still getting used to you, and now you've added another bird that is a stranger to him. And, to top it all off, the stranger is in HIS territory........at least that's the way a budgie sees it. Look at it his way. Less than a month ago he was brought to a strange place, with a person that he doesn't know, put in a strange cage, and now another budgie has been put in the cage with him. This little guy is confused. You know how you feel toward him (positive, I hope), but he doesn't. For all he knows you may be planning to eat him. Get the picture here? Give the little guy some patience and...........some love! He needs it. He has no idea what is going to happen to him in the next 5 minutes, even. Give him time. I second that i also would give him a chance to settle hes so very beautiful

  17. mabe its my fault lol mabe all the birds i tame end up with my attitude :rofl: myself i just put them awayu and tell them no you hurt me so you dont come out till im ready for you now that way im incharge again and if they try bite me when their out i give a warrning youll go back to your cage if you bite and i point to them when i do it im also holding them in a hand with them faceing me so im in total control if the bit i just do what i said they stay in till the settle down :yes: mabe they just heard how grumpy i am and coppyed i hope not :rofl: let me know how he goes and tammy houman her also

    if their hens breed with the cleanest cap cock not split to opaline and then all the cocks should come out with none flecked gen then breed these cocks to clean headed opaline to get none flecked opaline hens so i have been told
  19. its normal for crops to be full all time mums just being good mum yes dark seed is normal in older birds just let nature' take its course just cheak daily their alive and read kaz thing on chick care its here somewhere you wont need to worry if you read that shows how to clean mouths too
  20. CANT WAIT TO SEE YOUR VIOLET MAUVE !!! SOUNDS NICE AS THE TWO THINGS I REALLY WANT AT THE MOMENT ARE A VIOLET AND A MAUVE ! so its like getting two for the price of one ! it must be a fantastically unusual colour i really hope you post pictures of them dean! be sure to put them up and thankyou so much for the interesting and educating information! and thanks sft wrm rain and gb for your help too ! i wasnt much help lol
  21. lol well actually im a bit imbaressed now after kaz reply lol their much better offer
  22. I have noted however that some breeders believe there has been a sort of crossover from breeding greys to blues and some of their greys have blue cheek patches. If I was to take a guess, I would suspect this is because they have some violet floating around in their greys or blues they have not picked up on because even today many many breeders are terrible at recognising violets with the exception of those blatantly purple violet cobalts (violet greens, violet greys and violet sky blues go unnoticed largely). these are the blue greys im taking about dean and i was one the ones who said your bird was violet grey i just couldnt explain it lol as this i really sould just leave all the explaining to you guys and just agree on what i belive true and for recorld this is a great explination of all the grey violet and mauve factors thumbs up dean
  23. okay say that again splat aboutthe out cross thinggy please i never really did understand where to go from pairring to chick out come to ?????? then It's like a Christmas tree. You have a bird that is outstanding. And you put this bird to everything in your aviary, then you put them young to the other spring like cousin to cousin, etc but then it comes a stage you need to outcross and that's when the christmas tree comes into action.The idea is you go out with an outcross and then the next season you use the young you bred and go back into the line. And youcontinue like this to breed a stud . mabybe something to show me over a bottle of vodka i may get it then lol kaz that is directioning i see very nice
  24. glad you said that dean as this is also my feelings i really have no clue tammy seems very healthy as do my other bird but still tammys sneezing i only got one or two sneezes happening now not often either 3 autopsys no real awnser you dean saw the last one as did a few others and saw what it said so im at a loss thanks for your imput i was chatting to some the breeders on sunday and the red cordiel with their answer so 33 ml to one lt water everyday freash
  25. what out come do you get with that excuse my genetic arrogance :ohmygod:
