Yes, too much oil in our warmer climate causes issues with the birds health. I have found other ways to give the birds what they need in the way of Vitamins.

Should be a good pairing. The Double factor Cinnamon birds will have less suffusion as the cinnamon gene will lighten this. It's a good pairing for double factors. Remind me who the birds are Kaz. I like the hen, she has good shoulders.

... gesss what was I thinking.. I gave the Cod Liver Oil away last year when I lost birds to it..

Golden Cob is very good.

Hi All just an update on these cabinets. As many of you know, I love recordes. I keep them every day. Here is some facts. I haven't increased the number of cabinets from the previous season I started later in the season. May instead of March. I took the birds off the old feeding on to a simpler feeding. Results for this season. I had an increase in chicks from 128 to 146 14% increase over all in the season. But an increase of 34% in breeding from the months of May to February. Previous season I bred 108 duing those months. This season I bred 145. So I think the factors of better feed and maintenance and the new cages with wire dividers helped with the breeding program. Next year I am starting to breed at the end of June through to December. I'll see how that goes.

Karen is this another 4:00pm finish? If so I'll be there but not with the birds. I'll show at the next one.

I feel that it is genetic. All of my Mops can be traced back to two birds in another aviary. I have asked that breeder if he has records and his are the same. I keep good records and haven't had a mop / duster in over a year.

Thats good to hear.. If you go to Brendale Produce, you can get good budgie seed. It will be cheaper in the long run. A lot of the cheaper seed mixes you buy from the Supermarkets can carry a lot of "filler' seed that the birds don't eat. You are then buying seed to throw out.

A Quick Add. I found a photo of my bird that won Best PRBS Rung Bird - Novice. BRASEA Award for best AOV/AOC Standardised in Show. Darkeyed Clears show under the banner of AOS/AOC Standardised.

I have been using 9mm cd plywood but have new ideas for a combination of 12mm and 9mm CD plywood. Model no. 9 I got the Idea from Bob Smith.

Both would be best to use as Stock birds. The Spangle Cock needs better mask and wing markings. I see he is missing flights on his right wing. The hen needs more top end, she has nice directional feathering and the mask in depth is not too bad. Spots could be better.

okay Photo Time. Just a few of the birds... Mine are amoung them

Got a photo of all the top birds. Didn't get a photo of my 1sts or 2nds only the Spangle.... never mind. Caboolture's show on Sunday and have already booking in an altered team.

Yes I am currently geting the 389 Photographs from the camera. A big hello to Teagan. es I did see you at the show and must appologise that I was so busy.. (eating, i was the last to get some thing. ) not to get down to you.

I thougth Megabac-S was devoloped by an australian company called veta farm based out of Wagga? Correct but try to get it... It is easier to get Fungalin. The active ingredient is the same. By The Way I'm a member of Vetafarm. They have some great products.

This is a discussion that comes up from time to time. There has been many people change there minds on the subject and worth another look.

It will be hard to get Megabac-S in Australia. Fungalin is the same medication. Pearce.. I see that your from Ipswich. There is a great club there. Let me know if you need the details.

Great Advice from Kaz.. Test and treat if evidence is found. Kaz has experience and knowledge in these areas.

It is safe. A lot of times I will Pair a long bird to a short bird.

This is a very good Topic for those that are buying birds to add to their existing flock. I personelly don't give any drugs to my birds with out cause. I would rather pay for a vet to examine the birds three times while they are in Quarentine to see if they require medication. > Here is an Excelent topic on Quarrentine< I surgest that you all read it.
