My budgies don't seem too bothered by the noise, the ones inside just ignore it and i never hear any mad panicking from the aviary.

More skyblue spangles!! So many, we will be overrun by an army of them!!

Looks male to me, his cere looks waxy and smooth and i think females have duller and more rough looking ceres.

What causes hens to pluck anyway??

My budgies get like that and sometimes even more odd looking when they moult.

Keep her seperate until after she's completely better. I once had a bird with a similar problem a bit like this and it was a sinus infection.

I also noticed that you have 2 budgies, do you have a spare cage? Because it's really important that you separate them. At the vet mention that Pigwidgeon has been with another bird and the vet will probably suggest medicating both of them.

You've done a good job.

:wine: You could name the 2 unamed ones Pip and Pop.

Glad our un-organised-ness has made you feel better! :

Oh, i hope Birdie isn't badly affected by this, please let us know how he gets on at the vets.

That's so awful!! Hope there are no more cases!

(Laughing out loud)!! That's the same as me Lin!! Today when i checked Sandy's eggs i had to check the forums to find out when i should be expecting little chickies!! :(Laughing out loud):

:(Laughing out loud): We wouldn't let her run out of babies!

I counted 6, is that right?

They're gorgeous!! how exciting!! A blue one!!

If you want to breed then you should wait until your female is over a year old and in breeding condition. A lot of budgies go their whole lives without breeding so it's not a necessity in their lives. Please watch text shortcuts

At 4 weeks old the dad probably feeds them a lot more than the mum. She wont be in the nest box nearly as much. Are you 100% sure they're not getting fed? Do they have full crops?

You could even replace the new eggs with fake ones now. Do you want more babies?

OMG! Who would be stupid enough to set a budgie free?!

It looks okay. Hard to tell in photos as cages seem to look smaller than they really are. Something to remember if you are building a cage is to make it wide. Height isn't important as budgies fly across rather than up and down.

Good stuff, lots of different asspects to it!

I think my street address would be too much of a mouthful for a budgie.

I think you'll find it works out cheaper in the end to get a new cage.

A picture would be really helpful.
