Hi Lobostar and welcome... There are a number of very good show Breeders here. Hope you enjoy our forum.

okay he doesn't build the cage fronts but has someone that does. I deal direct with that person (cut out the middle man) The person that actually builds the fronts is very good. He does all mine.

Ah now Green is the only colour that grey will meld with to produce grey greens Elly can you see cinnamon in the hen? I can't but that's my eyes.

He does a great job. Does all of my work. Heath did you just get an order in the last two weeks? I was there a few weeks ago geting some more fronts and he was packaging up a job for down south

Olive oil is a soother. Mixed with Detol it helps with injuries I agree, no good for Scaley Face but good if there is a scrape between birds. Also good for chicks that are getting feather plucked. The hens don't like the taste.

D'oh.. He get's them from the same source as me.... Does that account for postage?

I am worming the nappy cage and they are on or below 3 months. (not by much though)

Jimmy when you get the price from Buy Budgies and get off the floor PM me I I'll sell you one for $15 - $20 plus postage. You just tell me what size you want and I'll arrange it as close as possible.

I mix detol with medicated Olive oil for After the cock's fight.. I use Baby oil for Scalely face but haven't needed that for a couple of years.

At the nationals all photography is fine even when the judging is on. But one rule. NO Flashes. I'll be taking me new Canon to do the job. I have a 75-300mm zome lense so should get some thing?????

okay Got mine. It arrived today.... very good reading and very though. I will enjoy looking through it.

Congratulations Health. I will be thinking of you. Let me know if you get any birds into the team. I'll look for them.

I used worm out gel too. so it's orange / yellow ish.

Great Job

Pearce, i'm currently doing the whole flock. Last night was the first day tonight is the last day. I'll put them on vitamins tomorrow night. I know I should do it 3 monthly but after last year's deaths, I've just got the courage to do it now.

Renee, you'll have to send me you photo as I was with you Stewarding but Can't put a name to a face... Alright, who's going to Burnie . Me!

All yellow-faced birds have suffusion of varying degrees, even double factored visual ones and a lot of it comes down to family genetics and variability of the mutation. The problems of identification happen because people wish to pigeon hole the suffusion. You can't do that because of the nature of the genetics of this variety. There is the possibility that the bird is a Goldenface/Yellowface composite. If that is so she will produce a a normal blue offspring. Breeding result can quite often show us what the bird's genotype actually is. Visual interpretation can only go so far. Goldenface single factor Goldenface double factor Goldenface/Yellowface Mutant 1 composite RIP I have seen many good Yellowfaced Blues and Greys that don't have suffusion at all.

My Nappy cage is 1800mm x 450mm x400mm it is three breeding cabinets with out the dividers. They stay in there untill they are at least 3 months olf and then go into a junior flight.

I had a vet do the same thing and when I questioned him on the findings by Dr Phelan in an article for the WBO he quickly changed the subject In my case, I believed he was being sponsored by the pellet manufacturer.

Congratulations. What a great shot.

Renee, why do you think this is happening?

I'm with Macka. It's a Budgie Chick :sad:

okay guys we are going to start count down for the 2009 Nationals in Burnie Tasmania. Date 23rd - 24th May. Currently 2 1/2 weeks to go. South Queensland is starting club selections this weekend. These go through till the 16th May. My Club, Pine Rivers will be holding theirs on the 16th May. On the 17th May South Queensland will hold the Interclub Challenge (preselection) where the SQ Team will be selected. These will be from the 12 clubs in SQBBA. The SQ Team will then go into Camp where they are all checked by a vet and prepared for the journey and preliminary preparations for the Nationals.

Didn't pick it when I looked first. Heath your eyes are better than mine :sad: You'll have to look me up at the nationals.

I was going to say cobalt clearwing. I can't see the yellowface.. dam these old eyes .
