That is sooo cool! When you said you were going to make a rat home out of wood, all I could think about was the smell. The laminate tiles are the work of a genius.

You have to warm it urgently. Your body heat will do for a start. When it is warm, feed it. See this link http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....mp;#entry282239 Keep it warm.

Love it! Your new bird is very cute!

I am so sorry that you have lost your little Bittu.

Oh, thank goodness you got her in time! I do hope she gets well.

I am really sorry to learn of your loss. It it harder when you have to watch the bird's mate grieve.

You have entered into the big debate, Simon - bigger than Ben Hur. If you are going to go with pellets, I'd say you should get them to eat 2 kinds. Variety is good for them. It will take time and patience to change your birds to a pelleted diet. Do not abruptly stop giving them seed if that is what they've been eating. Yes, seeds are fatty. There are nutritional deficiencies in an all seed diet. If you stay with seeds, include a variety of kinds and ensure that your birds receive their vitamins from as may sources as possible. Fresh fruit and vegetables are an important part of a budgie's diet, no matter what dry food you give them.

I Google imaged it for ages last night and could not find it under Hakeas. The blossom on some Hakeas did look similar but those little buds, which look like raspberries, are a distinctive feature and I did not see them.

You need to quarantine the new birds.

It's very interesting to see all the tasks which have to be done to keep the site running - and you say that that is just some of them. It's a busy site, so the work would be constant. Thank you for your willingness to keep the site in working order. Most particularly, I appreciate the depth and wealth of knowledge, the friendship and the empathy available freely to everyone who joins from other members

Could you use your instant messenger with a webcam?

Dunno. I would be bit worried about them playing in the soil. What about hydroponically? Then there is an issue of the seeds going mouldy or rotting, I suppose

Oh, the poor darling. He should be a super addition to your family. He should soon associate you with yummy things and lots of company. That will help him. All the best. Good on you.

Welcome on board.
