The lion

I live in LA i have a 4 month old male blue budgie for sale, if interested let me know i can send you some pictures

i was reading about the uses of spirulina with birds, when hand feeding, or also mixed in with the soft food being fed to the parent birds, my question is can it also be given to the birds with their water? has anyone used this "spirulina" before thanks

thank you guys for all the information

Ive also been told i can give it some ACV(apple cider vinegar) with mother, on its water and that should help in reducing the size of the fat deposit, she seems okay, jumping back and forth and making good progress, and yes its difficult to find a vet, where i took my bird they claim to be "exotic" pet specialists

okay thanks for the info!

The only way to know is by pairing it to a blue hen right? how can i tell the difference between type I or II

in the case that it does have splayed legs, it happened with 2 of my babies last time and well after research i found this website that helped me fix the problem, hope it works for you also http://fallowgirl.blogspot.com/2011/10/splayed-legs-make-up-sponge-method.html

today i went to the vet again because i dont see any improvements and know i was told its a fatty deposit, but wasn't told if its dangerous or what i can give my hen to reduce it, does any one have any knowledge of what a fatty deposit is? ( this is the last time i go to that vet, they suck!! first im told one thing then another)

thank you, in person i can also see blue in his feathers, is that the effect of the olive mutation?

what mutation is my new bird? sorry i dont know why the pictures went sideways

Its okay, here are some pictures

Yes it was an avian vet

One of my female show type budgies has a lump that is really soft by the vent area i don't think she is egg bound, shes had this for about a week now, she laid an egg yesterday it was really small and had a thin shell, a week ago she just finished raising her clutch of babies, in the past i had seen her like this while incubating the eggs and then after it would go away, is this normal for a hen to have after raising/incubating eggs? the skin looks yellow and it was bigger a few days ago and now has gone down a bit in size their is no purple or swelling around the vent nor the skin around the lump thanks for the help I took her to vet and was told it was swelling due to egg laying and incubating

LOL i get the white ones because they look more elegant to me, and this is the outcome LOL!! stains after a few weeks, i replaced most of the trays with blacks, blues, and purples now, way easier than scrubbing so many old ones

yea its made of plastic, i was just wondering if id be possible to bring that white back LOL

okay so i clean my birds cage poop tray 1-2 times a week, and well its all yellow and nasty now in some parts, is their anyway to remove that? is it stained or just too old and need a new one LOL ive been scrubbing it all day today and cant get rid of the yellowing

My birds tails used to get like that when their cage was too small, or when if they have any toys way to close to their perch or any other object that hits the tail, correct me if im wrong

Because ever since i got that pair ive kept em together on the same cage this was 3 yrs ago, their are no other possible mates for them on that cage, i can provide pictures of their previous clutch from February maybe that will help?? Thank you

just wanted to share the pictures of the new babies my budgies had enjoy (sorry about the picture quality im not good with the camera and also for not putting them in order lol ) help me identify the 5 babies mutations please thanks These two are the parents

any idea where i might be able to get it here in the US?

A friend of mine came over for a visit from another state, and told me if ive ever de-worm my budgies, tiels and love birds, because i have them out on my porch and they can catch worms from the wild birds getting close to their cages to eat the seeds that fall out onto the floor, she breeds Bourke's and says she de-worms all her birds about every six months to a yr because her avian vet gave her that recommendation ,what do all you guys think?( sorry if i posted this under the wrong section)

yes because i broke open the eggs after removing them some where completely dried, other had chick growing and stopped and also smelled horrible egg yolk was brownish black, well the cock would go in nest alot also, she had 1 clutch prior to this out of 5 eggs 4 where fertile 3 survived and 1 got killed, the 8 DIS, would have been her 2nd clutch and know that she started to lay again this would be her 3rd, i was thinking of letting her lay the eggs and then foster them to a hen from another box that only laid 3 eggs of wich only 1 is fertile and let her raise the chicks, She looks to be coming out of condition thats what gave me the idea to foster the eggs and then let her rest Hi, just a thought. If your eggs were dried etc they probably would not be fertile so not dead in shell. If you had all eggs with semi grown chicks in them yes d.i.s. The dead chick would be smelly etc but maybe the other eggs were not really d.i.s. The eggs were fertile because i always candle them a week after they are laid and write down the date they were laid, and incubation period, and saw that they where fertile and growing saw a bunch of veins on them

How odd. Makes you wonder how she knew. Well, I'm sorry it didn't work out. At least you tried. Yes that is very strange possible the other hens cent ..., yea i did my best thanks for your help thou

is it possible to post up some images? thanks

Yes that is correct , sadly 1 of the 3 foster eggs ive put was eaten i dont know why thou... Hmm, sounds like the foster parents may have problems. Do you have any other pairs you could foster to? Do you have any fake eggs or marlbes you can put in amongst the good eggs, in the faint hope that the egg eater will by chance try to eat the fake one, and then learn that eating eggs is a bad idea? I don't hold out a lot of hope for that plan, but I feel like when I've had a pair eat their first egg, and I put a fake one into the nest, it somehow must have worked. Because when they laid their second egg, they didn't eat it. Or any of the rest. But I really couldn't say for sure that the fake egg taught them. They might have just got with the program on their own. the weird thing is that she only ate the eggs that werent hers :/ ive never had to foster out eggs/budgies
