Hi is Jimmy on holidays or something? i miss his sense of humour

That's really sad news GlennCooper :question: :bow: Freddie

Poor Maggie, i hope she'll be okay Kaz lucky you were on the ball and got her back to the vet's in time.

I was going to say Maggie looked ready to burst....................Any puppies yet?

Hi Patrick,i can understand why you would be happy with one round,you have had one busy breed ing season so far i don't know how you kept up with them all,my babies devour the vegies and soft food as soon as i place it in the cage. I'm really looking forward to the auction i've never been to one before, are we allowed to go abit earlier than normal to check out the birds that we might be interested in? Libby.

Hi Libby, Yes as he really stands out amongst the other chicks though I like them all. He has a sister I think, still in the nest. There is also an Albino pair of chicks that should be out of the nest next week. How are yours going? Cheers Patrick Hi Patrick my chicks are doing really well , all are in and out of the nestbox all day long their eating lots of vegies and nibble at seed. I caught the parents mating today so i'm assuming their going for round two.Will you be at the meeting Wednesday night? if so i'll introduce myself. Libby.

Hi Patrick, that Lutino is beautiful you have to pleased with him.

Hi Dave is this Monster ? he's still beautiful

I'll be there

Well done anne she looks much better,must of been fate that the birds were there when you went for oats. :rofl:

I'm so pleased that these two are doing well Patrick, looking forward to photo's of the Albino's also.

I'm really sorry for your loss Hannah R.I.P little Nibbles

Nice looking chicks Patrick ,might have to get myself to a BSSA meeting so i can meet you in person

RIP my hubby has been keeping an eye out for her and actually backed her this time.Keep up the good work.

Well done Patrick, what a fantastic result,I don't know how you keep on top of all the extra feeds for the birds i only have one nestbox with 4 chicks, and every time i look to see how the veggie and softfood is going it needs to be replaced . Looking forward to more photo's when you have time espicially of the Lutino's :camera: Libby.

LittleBudgie, did you plant a post hypnotic suggestion in your post? i finished reading your post and went outside to get the washing in, and as i was coming down the steps in the garden to go inside down i went :rofl: I didn't hurt myself like you did,but i'm sure glad the house full of teenagers didn't see :hap:

Joining the North East Budgerigar Society Maybe i should hang a budgie feather from my earing, Buy the way that's a good idea about the badge ,then we could advertise this Forum to other budgie enthusiast as well :rofl:

That's really sad news Kaz,she was very lovely

I'm very excited to be going to my first club meeting and joining the club as well,I've been waiting for three weeks for tonight.So hopefully i'll meet some forum members there as well

Don't get a Kia Carnival Jimmy they have a shocking turning circle.That's what i drive the space inside is great but i can't wait till my older kids all have there own cars and i can go back to a sedan prefferably a commodore again, i still miss my commodore .....................................Meant to add that's a very SEXY car Dave.

I got the birds of a private breeder, and saw the babies from the previous clutch with the parents so they have definetly had a clutch before.

I'll remove her to a holding cage asap,they have had a clutch together previously,but for their previous owner not me.When i got him he had a bit of cere missing obviously now caused by her, i wish i'd been told about how aggressive she is when in breeding condition. The hen is happy for him to sit on the perch by the nesting box and feed and preen her,not sure if he's trying to get in there which upsets her.

Hi Kaz, how's your husband doing, i hope he's okay.

I've had a pair in a breeding cage for about 4 weeks with no result,i was just about to put them back in the avairy,when all of a sudden the hen has started attacking the cock,the first time i did'nt witness it and he was abit bloody on his head. Well today i have been watching them, and she's been in the nestbox with him sitting outside when all of a sudden there was this all mighty racket and she had him pinned to the floor. I went to block the nestbox enterance thinking she's not interested in breeding and that's the problem. The hen was hiding in the nestbox and i'm tap tap taping on the box waiting for her to pop out,so i lift the lid and sitting inside is an egg i don't know what to do i'm scared she's going to kill him. Do i just keep a close eye on them (i'm home all day) or do i seperate him Thanks Libby
