Maybe anyone who is members on the Facebook pages could share a link to the forum? Or perhaps the forum could have a corresponding Facebook page? There's so much information on this forum, would be a shame for it to be shut down...

I was a member on the forum a few years ago and at the time it was very active, any posts usually had a reply within the hour. Unfortunately I had a few issues with my birds at the time and when a tree fell on my aviary one day I left the hobby. When I recently decided to come back to the hobby the first thing I did was come back to this forum however I was disappointed to see that the number of active members had dropped dramatically and now it can take weeks to have a reply to a topic if you get one at all... What happened??? Can we fix it? Maybe if the forum had a corresponding Facebook page or perhaps people could join with standard hotmail type email addresses?

I purchased this bird recently at a sales day and although the breeder told me that he was a Goldenface after I mistakenly called him Yellowface I'm not sure if he is type 1 or 2 (I think he's type 2 but not sure) and also if he is a light blue with violet factor or a cobalt... On the night I thought he was a cobalt but in the light of day I'm thinking he may be a violet factor sky blue?

I haven't had an overwhelming response from clubs I've contacted so far, just the one reply that informed me of the sale day. I'm sure they'll get around to it eventually :-P

Nothing yet but I'm planning on going to a few sales days and auctions that are coming up soon...

I'm looking for a breeder to help get me started in breeding show budgies, just want to start out with 3-4 pairs to begin with. Especially interested in Dominant Pieds, Spangles and Yellow Faces. I have contacted a few clubs as well and I am also waiting to hear back from them but thought I'd try here as well. I have bred pet type budgies when I was in high school and show budgies a few years ago but I was unlucky enough to have a tree get blown down onto my aviary before my first rung babies reached 12 months. After that I gave up on them for a while but thought I might give it another go. I commute between Sydney and Shoalhaven areas regularly so if you're within these areas and could help me out personally or put me into contact with someone who could help please let me know :-) Thanks in advance!

Has anyone been to Ace Colony Aviaries recently? I tried to go there on the weekend and it was shut however there was still a sign saying it was there and the opening hours listed indicated it should've been open. Another person pulled up while I was there and said they had been calling for 3 weeks with no reply. You can hear that there are a number of birds still on the property it just never seems to be open. Perhaps the owner is on holidays and has decided to close for a few weeks? I'd be interested to hear if anyone knows anything about whether they are still in business.
