We won Yea...

It's the other way you don't want. Sitting on two feet asleep or fluffed up..

Baby oil is my prefered method. But i've only needed to use it twice.

We were thinking of a table show of the ones that got away... Tailest wonders and a like.

Not unless they are outstanding. Currently any mature bird with a Red ring is eligible for the Nationals. Late Edit.. Should reead Black Rings

I'll up load latter.. Australian and New Zealand is on

Stage 1.... Today I start 3 weeks of Hoidays.. Next week the birds get full attention

You know if we were candidates to the UN we could stamp out Hunger and Poverty..... and everone would have a budgerigar.

Yes we've all been there... I could have won the Nationals last year but he didn't grow a tail Do you want to here about the one that got away

if you want I can send the plans.

If they are going to show, they will show. The hardest thing is to get them to perch.

Spangle Recessive Pied Dominat Pied Dark eyed Clear. Love them

Yes I've had my share of FMs.

I put it in their water. I do crop feed but not 135 birds

1 drop does not equal 1mL. I suggest dilute the gel to the proper dosage which should be on the container and give it via crop feeding. Product Description Soluble bird wormer. Wormout Gel is a water dispersible gel suitable for the worming of non food producing birds. Directions: Add 2 mL per 160 mL of drinking water, supply medicated water for 2 days. Remove all other sources of water during treatment. Most aviaries should be treated 4 times per year. DILUTING WORMOUT GEL FOR CROP NEEDLE ADMINISTRATION. Wormout Gel is ideal for crop needle administration however for ease of use it should be diluted in water. Using a small container (preferably with a lid that can be secured), measure 9 mL of water using a 10 mL syringe or other accurate measuring device and add to the container. Prime the Wormout Gel pump and add 1 mL of Wormout Gel to the 9 mL of water in the container. Check the Wormout Gel label for it’s pump delivery! If your Wormout Gel pump delivers 2mL then simply measure 18 mL of water into the mixing container. With the Wormout Gel in the container, secure the lid and shake well for 5 – 10 seconds. This will break up the Gel and give a uniform, yellow suspension ready for crop administration. The dose of the diluted Wormout Gel mixture is 0.5 mL (half a mL) per 100 grams body weight via crop needle. Use a small syringe so you can measure the dose accurately. Remember that the crop needle will have an air space in it which may affect the dose that is actually delivered. For instance, a Gauge 12 crop needle has an empty space of about 0.45 mL. You need to allow for the air space in whatever needle you are using. You will also need to have some idea of the weight of the bird you are treating to give the suitable dose. Any good “bird book” will give average weights of various species. Active Constituents: Praziquantel 20g/L, Oxfendazole 20g/L.

A lot of our birds go to Pet sales... Show birds make the best pets, as they are handled more. We don't tame them as such but they are given a lot of attention.

Good thought Macka

You can't ensure they drink the water, you can't even be sure they do drink the water. The only way to be sure is get them all checked or administer via crop tube.

.............. you'll learn the secret hand shake of the fancy one day JB.. It's very secret

Shannon, you will do well. All the best and let us know how you go. As for the show cage training 1/2 a day is fine. Just be patient and using a judging stick (i used a chop stick) help the bird to the perch and then stand away. If it jumps down count to 10 and put it back then stand back. Keep this up until the bird gets the idea that if it is on the perch you will leave it alone. ..but be patient and don't hurry, it will take some time.

Hi John, Welcome to the forum . Sounds like a very good aviary, I am looking forward to the photos Daz

When I went to weight watches they said that a glass of wine is 1 point. A women got up and said The *** with one point.... the bottle is 7 points I like her. I use 25 pumps to 2 lts of water. The dosage on the 100ml wormout gel says 0.05ml per 100grams body weight. But I agree with Kaz. Check with a Vet.

No it's my eyes. Kaz knows I have colour blindness but it only seems to be with the birds on the computer. I have no problem with the birds in the aviary. If you tell me what they are, I can tell you the outcome

Sorry I am only going off the container in my hand

NO NO NO 1ml per pump. 2ml per 160ml water.... for me thats 25 pumps per 2 lts. Crop is 0.05ml per 100grams body weight. If you give 1ml the budgie must weigh 2 kgs.
