For the two budgies you have got , Seed and fresh water, dont add anything to the food. Some green leaves once a week.

I thought they looked for what free lunch they were going to get! Ps, And Desert

I will say well done and dont worry about all of these suggestions too much , you will learn more through trial and error and more hands on with keeping budgies. Goodluck and enjoy.

Throw away the shovel. Nice one Black Doctor, I like your humour!!.

Hi Georgie, Greens Avian supplies supply all of what you will need and have good prices, They are members of the central coast club too. you can Email them on , birdsup@optusnet.com.au. . I have their phone number if you want , just Pm me .

Yep Nice explanation Dean, I will add one thing, If you have read Binks book , he says to pull out all the flight and tail feathers of Fm birds, Well I tried this but when I was done I sprayed the birds with F10 , they do bleed a bit but it stops after the spray.So far the birds have made a full recovery including tails. Kaz I was going to vote for Deans Post but the vote thing wouldnt work , Does the function work??

Hey Splat , you have a nice style there. Do you work with any particular breeders or are you developing your own line?

Kaz, Whats the point of having an opinion if you are going to edit and change the forum ! Gee Mate , I really thought I was pretty reserved on this one .

Nice DF's there, I like how the first Two their body width doesnt change as it comes into the head , Just all width right through the head . Flecking, Yeah can be a problem , but I think of it as a small fault , I dont really know anout how the inheretance works with the flecking , if it is inhereated at all?. One thing I do is breed with the hens and only use the best of the best flecked cocks to clean hens where possible.

I like this Bird Splat, :thumbs_up: , Ps what happened to the emoticons?

If this is a serious Thread/post. I would say buying over one hundred birds straight up ?? Asking what you need to feed them ?? What do you put in water ?? Do you have an avairy??, or just cabinets ?? Have you kept birds before ?? , going by the questions you have asked I dont know.

Just a few more maturing in the flights , 2010 blue ringers.

This is the only 2010 chick that was a visual Fallow Two split Fallows 2010 rung These are some pics of some 2010 rung birds. I got a bit carried away with the camera.

Thanks . I havent been around much , So thought I would put some pics up. Dave im Very happy with the yellow face line , Dont know if you can remember the yellow face ( Dilute ) that I posted a while ago, It won Best Yellowface at the Central Coast Young bird show in November. This line is producing some nice birds. Will be putting some more pics up shortly.

My only Fallow chick for 2011 so far. the grey and the yellowface above are nest mates from my yellowface cock below.

I can see a strong showing in the Cinn classes next year , Maybe that elusive Grand champion at the Hunter show might be on the table this year. They are looking really good Mark. Im Heading home to the Bri for christmas might have to give you a call if your home ill drive down for a visit. Matt.

There will be NO December meeting for the central coast club in 2010 . Instead there is a christmas party BBQ on the 11th of December. Hope everyone has a Safe and Happy Christmas.

NSW, Central Coast budgerigar society , Young bird show 7th November 2010, Kariong Oval , Mitchell Drive Kariong. All welcome so come along and check out the budgies.

PT , you have hit the nail on the head. Im a builder and 10 years back was building single storey houses on 600 square metre blocks , now am building Two Storey houses on 450 square metre blocks. there is no room for avairys. Also Local councils are now regulating or looking at what animals and pets you can have in your yard. Beginners shouldnt be buying quality birds from open breeders , they should be buying pet shop culls/ birds from intermediate and open breeders. We live in a society that we have created through technology where young people have grown up with everything and everything is instant. Our hobby is not an instant hobby , it is a life passion and ive seen many join my local club to sellout and leave in a couple of years. I dont think you will ever be able to keep these people in the club. Our club raises funds by doing sausage sizzels at bunnings , this also puts the awareness of the hobby out there in the public, I recently built a web site for our club to allow local people with budgies to be able to find our club.

Doesnt matter what context its in , she is recommending them , Whether she is getting paid or not buy the company that makes them. She has recommended them. It goes against all the stuff she had written about , She should have stayed with fresh, natural was best and leave pellets out altogether.. Anyway , its only an opinion.

I make it in a bucket and dunk the whole bird.

I started reading this and thought yep I agree , then I flicked ahead and read the last bit . "I recommend BirD-elicious" . Sorry Dr Jeanie Thomason you just commercialized yourself . So all the stuff you wrote before isnt worth a grain of salt.

Could be a number of things Stew , Maybe Dusty enviroment , Maybe upper respirtory infection ( Like a cold), sometimes possible start of canker. Mate there all guesses. Hope you can work it out.

LOL, he takes after his Dad , Cute and Cheeky. :rofl: We had a great day Kaz, Thought we would be down there for an hour or so , ended up 4 hours . Hi Ross , we fished the low tide at The Entrance Channel on the North side. The Whiting was 42cm GB you will be happy to know that he scaled it , I showed him how to cut it , gut and fillet it ( He tried to have a go at filleting ) Its amazing how nice fresh fish tastes. PS. Happy Birthday , I think I saw 27 somewhere

YES . Great work , Hmmm fresh blood to test out :rofl:
