hath

thanks i really cant believe the prices over there they are unreal compared to here

sorry you can evan get then in purple blue black and white is there no justice

just looked on ebay us i could cry http://cgi.ebay.com/Lot-of-6-Aviary-Breedi...1QQcmdZViewItem

there might be a lot on ebay in the us but none on ebay in the uk and as i want about 16 it might be a bit expensive to ship

talk about rip of britain

we have the same here i think its called orange glow

there exactly what i wanted cant find them in the uk and what a price for 4 i would hate to see how much they would be in the uk

cheers mate ive just ordered a new one so hopefully ill get some pics up soon

all mine are painted so that is why i must have not had any problems

most people on here will say no because that what the vets say but i found this artice interesting http://www.masterbreeder.co.uk/ go to the The Role of Grit in a Budgerigar Diet i feed mine grit 24/7 never had any problems and i totally agree with the part about grit and the role in bringing chicks up

there will be a slight delay with pictures it appears my old and what i thought trusty digi camera (havnt used it for ages) its software wont load up on my computer so cant download them

now i must have missed that earlier post as all my cages are made of mdf and i have never had a problem ive had them for 3 years now i think

im not certain i know years ago you had to watch out for lead based paints but these were banned i think many years ago

used gloss paint now for over 10 years in flights and breeding cages it is safe

pure white gloss

3 inches high with 2 sides about 4x4inchs square placed on the cage bottom so the chicks can get away from the parents if attacked you can put the soft food on it if you like

that cage will do when the chicks leave make sure they have someplace to hide i use a platform 3 inchs high i usually remove the chicks 8 to 10 days after they leave the nest as long as they are eating okay i would not put them straight into an aviary but another cage and keep them in there for about 2 to 3 weeks to ensure they eat well

wooden ones are fine all mine are woodjust paint them white i use gloss paint so its easier to clean

im afraid these these eggs will be no good now for some reason budgie eggs dont lay dormant as good as other birds say canaries where breeders replace the eggs with false ones and then put the eggs back so the chicks hatch at the same time plus if she is incubating during the day and not at night the embryo will chill and die

no never get stressed i put the cock and the hen in together and try and put them in about 3 to 4 hours before dark keep a close eye on them in case they fight (it does happen but not very often its normally the hen who attacks the female if he doesnt take notice of her) my cages have the nest box on the outside

mine are 24 inchs long x 18inchs high x 12 inchs deep

enjoy ? im like a kid at christmas pictures will be a couple of days as i am at work

the article gives no evidence either way recessive or dominant sex-linked

fair enough

i whole heartly agree that inbreeding will be bad for birds but my point im trying to get across is you cant say everything is down to inbreeding untill proven surely.the cattle were an example that they have inbred for 700 years and only got smaller mind you i have seen them and dont think i would like to have seen them
