I'm sure more of those "chocolate" brownies will help!

Great question, I'm going to keep my eye on this thread. This is what I was told along the same lines: Similar thread

Hmmm, are you sure they're chocolate brownies??

Go fish, well not every week anyway Are you a good cook?

... and the birds!

15. When you give up trying to teach your budgie to speak English and instead you learn to speak fluent Budgerigar.

7. When the number to the Avian vet is above the number to your kids doctor 8. When you tell the kids to be quiet coz the bird is still asleep :hap: 9. When you start drilling holes in the door frames to put up perches!

Hi Dean :hap: It sounds like a few people share your opinion of the current show budgies. I wonder if the power of public opinion is going to start to have an effect on the future standard of show budgies??

Yeah they did have a name on the cage like that. They had 3 cages, I think 2 said that name, one banded and one unbanded and then pet budgies in the other. There were some good looking pets there as well, could they have been yours, Sunnie? One grey one in particular caught our eye.

We just bought 4 chooks from a pet shop & garden centre on Morphett Rd Warradale and while I was there I noticed they have some really good looking show budgies for sale. Has anyone from that area just done a cull?

Go fish Do you think Jimmy will make 2000 posts this year?

I just wanted to get past "Budgie chick"!!

They may have been show budgies, they are a lot bigger than pet budgies, which in turn are bigger than bush budgies. Again a photo will help the experts on here identify which one you have. There's a great photo by Melbournebudgies in post 7 of this thread that shows the difference: DIfferent budgie sizes

Thanks Andrew, he loves millet and eats that out of our hands so I'll give your idea a go.

Mine doesn't seem to like vegies. I've left grated carrot and diced broccoli in his cage but he hasn't touched it. I don't know if its because he isn't used to the new dish, but I can't leavie it in there for days so he can get used to it as I have to remove the vegies after a day. How did you get them to start eating vegies in the first place?

BWAHAHAHAHAhaha!!! That's gold!! ...and yet disturbingly accurate! :bliss:

Yeah that won't happen. He only goes outside in his cage.

Bless 'em! Ernie seems to be getting on so well with everyone and is always willing to step up while out of the cage, so I'm thinking I won't clip his wings. Is this advisable?

Our dishwasher broke recently, so it was straight down to the electrical store to get a new one straight away before the next lot of dishes has to be done.

Sound advice!

yes, but they were all Bull Terriers Do you ride horses?

Our eldest was diagnosed with one of the many forms of dyslexia. Their report advised us and the teachers how he learns. Its just different to others, not worse or better, and now we know he's come along in leaps and bounds!!

Welcome Jason!! Good to see where starting to increase the number of males on this forum! :thanks: I especially like the sky blue, he looks just like ours! :thankyou: You'll get plenty of great advice on here!!

If it happened from bumping into something while flying then I wouldn't think the siblings would make it any worse. Here's Ernie after about 2 weeks or so.

Liv left Ernie in his cage for a couple of days after his little misadventure to give it a chance to heal.
