alpaca-boy

okay so we think it may be a boy! Oh no, well I just put a nest box in so I guess I'll find out sooner or later! How long roughly do they start laying eggs after you put in a nest box?

okay so here is a photo of the budgie in question as a BABY (3 yrs ago) AND here is a photo of the budgie in question NOW If you can tell me what sex it is I'll be a happy man, Cheers! here is a better picture....

Oh cool, mine are black and tan, and the other is chocolate and tan Can someone teach me how to post a picture? Cheers!

Hey Finnie! Yeah it has been a while! my budgie to me was always a boy because that's what I'd been told, but when ?his? cere finally changed colour to brown I was a bit confused! So I thought I better check it out! And I can't believe you remembered that! that's fantastic, my puppy is good also, she is 2 1/2 yrs old and very playful still! And my other boy is 8yrs. Hey Nadene! Dachshunds are brilliant, what colours do you have? I would attach a picture but I've forgotten how to?

Hello, I have two budgies, I was told when they were babies they were both boys, this was based on their baby ceres, one of the birds ceres turned blue after 6 months and the other did not change from its pinky coloured baby cere until now, and it is 3 yrs old, it has turned brown, what does this mean? Cheers!

you are so lucky brendan to have experienced a fantastic bird such as polly i can only hope one day i have a special bird like yours =] he obviously was a great character and close to your heart, im sure he would have forgiven you as he must of loved you very much and is that a picture of polly above? if so he is beautiful!! Alpaca Boy.

Hey Sunshinee!! Your chicks are adorable!! I especially like chick 2 !! I think you should call him or her gelato, as for some reason when I look at him/her thats what I think of ?? I think its the light lime colour, just like lemon/lime gelato Anyway I think texas clearbody is the answer for your chicks, but im not pro, so dont take my answer for any sort of assurance Alpaca-Boy

Oh noooo!! thats so sad houman =[ =[ =[ im really sorry you lost her! she was a gem are your parents not allowing you to get another?? glad to hear from you though i was wondering where you had got to as i did notice the extended period of inactivity =] good luck for your future with budgies houman you deserve it Grant.

Thanks for the nice comments everyone !!! they are doing really well, they like their coop especially the run and they love to eat!! Hi Dellouisa thanks for the nice words! well i found this site which gives details of silkie chicken breeders, ill grab the link for you... http://silkiebreeders.webs.com/breedersdirectory.htm its a breeders directory, so hopefully there is a breeder close to you, they are a fantastic breed, gentle, clean and easy to handle and pat =] Thanks Kaz i thought their names were fitting whenever i get a pet i wait until i get them and look at them to see what they look like =] so there name suits their character They are rachelm!! i just want to hug them, so soft

Well I have finally managed to convince my mum that chickens are a good pet to have! And after much deliberation she allowed me to get two chickens! I had my heart set on a silkie as they just look so peculiar and hilarious, yet adorable So I found a good breeder, and on the weekend I bought my first pair of chickens! They are two lovely pullets, named maggie and myrtle, and they are only 12 weeks old Maggie is the darker looking one, and myrtle is the lighter one! Myrtle is a partridge, and Maggie is what the breeder said "call it what you like". He told me its a new colour he is working on, but he has managed to acheive it by pure breeding silkies! so that is all i have on my spectacularly bizarre birds! and i cant wait until they start laying eggs!

grass parrots!! cool i always thought they looked like rainbow budgies when i was younger are these two a breeding pair? have they bred yet? It would be really interesting to see a breeding journal done on these guys !!! as they are so unusual, and not very common as a domestic animal we get lots eating seeds in our grass, i guess thats where they get there name from is the hen an albino or some other mutation or is that the usual colour of a female red rump grass parrot????? the females around here are shades of brown, whilst he males look like your boy. VERY INTERESTING! can you give us an update??? pictures????

Photo update on Elsa ! She is alot bigger now she was tiny when we got her, but she is still very small and adorable as ever! Oscar and her are the BEST of friends now, where one is your certain to find the other !! She has learnt sit, fetch, and im currently teaching her to shake she is making progress So here she is with her bestie Oscar!

Here is a photo update on banjo... and his friend mortimer who he now lives with as mortimers friend alfalfa died sadly but these two get along amazingly well, and they are happier then ever !! they are very good friends, and i think banjo is alot happier now !

nice chick kiwigirl!!! congrats... do you have more pics of your babies, or was this the only one in the clutch?
