Great job you must be very pleased with your handy work!

G'day and welcome Brucies Mum

Well done Victoria........ Henry George represented South Queensland well again with some very nice bird's, he's a Champion! If only I could afford one of his birds lol. Congrats to all the teams

Welcome aboard

Well done Liz. Vic looks the goods for a state win.

Glad your okay and insured. Things happen fast and no one is safe on our roads unfortunately.

There beauties, well done

The fireworks have been and gone my boys and I were on the back veranda when they went bang and they were very loud and very bright from our place. The birds handled it very well with not even a murmur coming from the aviary which really surprised me considering all the huge bangs Thanks for all the advice.

Have fun mate, we have some people from our club who have there birds competing. Go Queenslander hehe Good luck Liz

Thank you this makes a lot of sense

My aviary is fully covered with a night light so hopefully it will be okay. I will report back on this subject after the fireworks and let you know how they went.

if their hens breed with the cleanest cap cock not split to opaline and then all the cocks should come out with none flecked gen then breed these cocks to clean headed opaline to get none flecked opaline hens so i have been toldThank you, are any birds expectable with flecking at shows? So would this bird be no good for showing or breeding?

As I build my show bird stud I'm becoming a little confused with the term flecking. I have a couple of birds with some flecking through there head and after reading some info on this, it seems that flecking is becoming a no no in a show bird? I have a Spangle Opaline Grey with some and a Spangle with a little, should I still breed with these birds or try and get rid of any birds with flecking? Cheers

We have the Caloundra show on this weekend which is held up here in Maleny. On Saturday night they will be having fireworks, should I be worried about the noise when they go off at 8pm? I don't live far from the show grounds where the show is held. I don't wont my birds going crazy in the aviary and hurting them selfs. :yes: Thanks Geoff

I'm enjoying watching them feather up, there looking great :yes:

There all very sweet

Thats no good but I guess breeding is all about the ups and downs, isn't strange for a cock bird to kill a hen? usually it's the hen doing the damage.

id put in seperate cages next to eachother the feather lose is most likley stress related but as i cant see i dont know I agree differently separate as soon as possible.

Your grey is a nice bird, you should feel very happy with your breeding results.

No I'm not going but if I had the $$$$ I would be there. Sounds like your getting some good results from your breeding pairs, good stuff

I like this topic I better go and take a picture of my favorite girl

Your birds are looking fantastic, well done

Welcome aboard, enjoy
