Hmm.. it could have something to do with the moulting... But i don't really see any sign's of scaly face.

and a good idea to... that should prevent plucking... but the hen will tear it off the chick's and wil be very suspicious of it...

Hmm... i'll take a punt at greywings?

LOL ..Mine wont sit still for a photo like that... their always busy-body's trying to get amongst everything... Well done and congrats

ROFL! at the last picture of them trying to perch.... Ahh that is a classic! the blue one is bending back quiet a fair bit

Shannon is the topic starter so i suppose he's the judge?

Thanks Dean, HP never heard of it - sounds a bit like a hair bleaching product! I suppose I can get it from the Chemists? Chemist yes and supermarket .......also used for dyeing hair blonde Last thing we need is a "Blonde" Budgie

i give em all a 10 XDi particularly like the one of libby's that's the same as her display avatar.

i resign as judge LMAO... i can't pick out of that lot... their all as good as each other in the picture's...

Hi and Welcome! ....Their's plenty of knowledgeable people on here who are alway's happy to share their wisdom with everyone.... hope you enjoy it here :question: Oh. And we also love picture's.... look forward to seeing your 2 bundle of joy's

Does he have a lamp/heat-mat? they need warmth... you'd be suprised as to how much the warmth can do for them...

i have absolutely no idea :question:

Rats do real damage when they attack ... whereas when a bird dies sometimes the others will peck a bit at the carcass. I'm leaning towards mass poisoning seeing as the quails died at the same time, do you live near an industrial site of some kind? Also ask about the neighborhood to see if anyone did any fumigation on the day in question. Whatever you do don't put rat bait inside the aviary! :question: So Sorry to hear about your loss, weird that the quail's died to.... my only thought whould be either someone has used fumigation in your area and the wind has travelled it towards your aviary.... or the most logical seeing that it's been raining, is the seed went mouldy and created bacteria... in which the quail's will surely pick at all day.... so that's the most logical answer....

....Picture #4.... now THAT is SKILLFULL! :question:

Budgie's hide their illness to the point where it's too late to save them usually... and yes they will sit their and pretend to eat... but they are only picking up the seed and dropping it again...try everything you can and hopefully he survives... where is he at the moment? is he with the bourke?

1 month is generally the limit... if nothing happen's by then, Then nothing happen's at all really... make sure you supply cuttlebone and other calcium supplement's.

Be careful what your cat eat's... mice carry disease's so be careful :question:

Not bad... I'm still sticking with my Regent Parrot's though... and seeing they are related to princess and superb's. i hopefully get similar result's... i'd rather them quiet down and settle in for a good 2 month's first though. I'll be sure to ring bunning's about that trap tomorrow

Their ya go sylvia sue must feel special that she's bigger then the budgie

Nice and big indeed How many egg's average per nest?

No picture showed up cath

pests aren't they :rip:... Just a question Kaz, Do Princess parrot's breed easily?... going from what ken has accomplished with his princess's...

Yeah i can never seem to find any here either.... and not ONCE have i heard anything or seen anything to do with the TCB's... i would love to have one of those.

What an absolute beauty of a set-up! congrats... no wonder their breeding already... it's perfect for them..... May i suggest just 1 peice of sheet at the back of the flight....cause that way hopefully the rosella's will land on the sheet of tin and poo on it instead of on the wire and through the cage for the budgie's to touch...

Part of the reason i got rid of my budgie's (except 8) because of colony breeding issue's.... i had a nest slaughtered by one of the hen's... which spelt the end of colony breeding budgie's for me.... so fortunately i have taken up cabinet breeding and am replacing my budgie aviary once cleaned etc with regent parrot's...
