hath

the breeder i bought my birds from uses them as well

yes it is possible no it is not possible to change sex 1. are you sure it was a male in the first place 2. if it did have a blue cere then changed to a brown one so that it looks female then this is normally down to the malfunction of the ductless glands associated with the sexual organs

its on ebay at the moment (gb) starting price ?50 i would wait and if you cant get it order it from him when its reprinted i was lucky and got a copy and it is a brilliant book

the challenge breeding championship budgerigars this book is being republished beginning of 2006 highly recommend to every one

28g was average for a wild budgie not a pet budgie wild budgies are smaller than pet birds

woops i made a mistake just checked my book and it is average weight 53.74g, greatest weight recorded 85.45g for british budgie as to a wild average 28.99g greatest weight average 31g sorry dont know where 90 to 100g came from

to be honest daz i have never weighed mine but i the average for show birds is around 90 to 100 g

i hope the ban covers wild and captive bred birds this is the only way that we will know that it will be 100% sure there are to many shady people out there

if this is her second round then she will be fine as for moving obviously i would not recommend it but if you have to put a blanket over the top and move them as gently as possible

just heard on the radio they are considering banning all imports of birds (any birds) and are now asking people who keep any birds to report anything strange straight away

wouldnt like to say as i didnt question it my pets have been to this vet practice for 22 years

my vet said that my ***** should have her first season before her operation

this post is locked for now and will be replaced by a new one written by eterri

if you want me to help go over i dont mind i dont have any ideas for or against its up to you

unfortunatly i dont think it will be unbiased by the nature of the subject its to emotive to be honest i dont have any views on this matter really i just played devils advocate last time by throughing the word disabled in to the equation if you remember, i dont hand tame my birds so dont need to clip or train

wrong the last posts on there where quite bad at the name calling that was why it was removed

exactly why the post was removed as it got heated and people started to call others names then the accusation started i was hiding the facts freedom of speech ect ect as i said you just canr win

i dont believe this i got loads of stick of people because i deleted posts on this and asked people to do a search because it was becoming heated again i got acused of stoping peoples freedom of speech ect do you know you just cant win

lin it makes perfect sense because i thought that as well but he did say a possibility it had not been proven yet but there was some evidence that was being look at

got the radio on in the background and a goverment boffin has just said that they are going to put special watchs on wet lands and if anybody finds large quantity of dead birds report to defra and there could be a possibility that the virus could be in the duck population but they don't have the symptoms just carriers

well as it is the goverments own scientist that are stating this where do the antis come in in my opinion this is not scaremongering but could be a real real problem ask the families of the 60 people who have died from it

yea just seen it on tv china russia turkey all the same,watched a women on tv last night saying people are scaremongering i have my doubts now its starting to travel

is it me or do most aviarys here dont seem to have safety doors or am i just missing something

unfortunatly it is slander if there is no evidence and before you have a go i only know because a music site was closed down here after comments were made on it about a groups followers the site owners were in ireland and the moderator was in england and it was the english guy that was done.making complaints is one thing slagging of on a forum is another this has already been agreed with the mods so untill adam changes it it will have to stand as i am not willing to take on any big brow lawyers and some of these companys are very big
