Took her to the vet. Unfortunately they have no vet on 'duty' at the moment. The lady knew what she was talking about, but I knew everything she said. Like using a variety of perches and branches instead of wooden dowel ones.

Never house a lovebird with a budgie! I am not sure on how easy to breed they are but unless you introduce them in the right way they can kill each other.

So sorry. At least you were there with him in those precious moments. RIP Nibbles. He was the best budgie for you.

Right. Tommorow then after school. Luckily I have money saved up in case of this sort of thing happening.

Marigold is favouring one foot and limping. I looked at it and it does seem swollen. Do I take her to the vet? Also, I noticed something that looks like blood on the chicks beaks and facial feathers. On second thoughts, it is strawberry juice.

Nah mate, uh, Houman?

Nope, sorry! Just my eyes.

Oh no! Poor Nibbles.

Very cute! Is it just me or do the nostrils look funny?

Some people have declined. I will still give the ones left a bird if they want one. I meant that I was going to ask to keep the ones left.

It doesn't look like the eggs are going to hatch now. Dad moved the cage and probablye addled the eggs and now Marigold isn't sitting on them. So I'll ask dad if I can keep the babies.

Poor Sonny.

I agree... I reseached for almost two years before I attempted to breed.

One looks cinnamon wing?

I'd like to know what a white-wing is? Wonder where they are getting their imformation? 'If we pair a clearflight/rec pied to a rec pied, we will produce a dark eyed clear'?????

Wow!

Thanks, at the bird sale I bought a travel/hospital cage and some decent wormer. I saw some triple c, so now I know I can get some around here.

Is she still kicking? If so, then get her warmed up, then try to hand feed her.

I'm selling the chicks. I have found a breeder near me! At last! He gave me his address and phone number, and said I could go and see his set up and aviary. I won't be breeding after this clutch for about a year or less, while I upgrade. Maybe I could buy a new pair off the breeder? Only I'm not sure he breeds pet types.

I think day light plays a part in that. In the wild they breed after the rain I think.

Well, Marigold laid another egg today. I've thought and though over it and it still seems like the logical thing to do. Please do not judge me by my actions, because I really do think it is the right thing to do.

No.. I'll be allowed to keep these ones. My upgrading plans I'm saving up for, and after this round they won't breed again until it is finished. I'm saving up for it at the moment. From my angle it does seem the logical thing to do but maybe I'm wrong.

Sunny should be standing by now. S/he could have some sort of deformity.

Marigold through the second egg out and it cracked. She has laid another one today. Thankyou for understanding Kaz. I would rather not sell my bubs as I was going to let Marigold and Skye have a second clutch and keep them all and upgrade the cage over the next year into an aviary or at least a bigger cage. At the moment my cage can fit 10-12 budgies- non breeding.
