Oh good I was worried for a while, it was really getting her down, but I only noticed it Friday night. I have a super nasty sore finger from my little girl for the thanks of cleaning her!

I think maybe she has had 1 poop stick to her and she has tried to scrat it off and thats whats spread and gone harder each time she is scratting at them. She seemed tonnes better when I washed her, I will see if it gets any better, but like her said her poops are fine. Maybe it was just the irritation of the dried poop and everyime she kept on scratting and the hard feather came out it was making even itchier?

Thanks Daz she hasnt got diarrhoea, perfect poops but I will get some worming medication on Thursday when I go to the vets, it cant hurt doing them all anyway can it. I will check her bottom tonight to see if she has been itching. It looked pretty clean this morning so hopefully the clean up cleared things up I hope.

To be honest daz I dont think Tobi has ever been wormed, are there any other symptons than itching. I can get worming stuff on Thursday - do you think that might be it?

I just dont have a clue, I will see how she goes on if it doesnt heal up, Ive got Barnslee booked in at the vets on Thursday for his wings clipped (seen as though it was successful with Charlie) so could take her along if needed. She does seem better now Ive cleaned the hard matted feathers up but wonder why she started in the first place.

Someone told me she might be pregnant which I think is highly unlikely since she is only 5 months old and her room mate Max is only just over 6 months and although they are smoochy now and again they are more than often squabbling and have never seen them mate. Max likes to mate with objects anyways hehe!

She hasnt got anything at all new in her cage, and this has only just started. She seems better now Ive cleaned her up, she isnt off or anything just itchy. Hope she stops or she will be Miss Bald Botty forever hehe!!

I dunno Bea but she manages quite well and made herself sore, she also made my finger damn sore when I was cleaning her up. She has a worse bite than Charlie. So youve no idea what would case her to have an itchy botty?

I was a bit concerned about Tobi she had been itching her botty with her feet for a day or so, I caught her yesterday and took a look. She has normal poops, but she was a bit dirty round her vent and also I noticed the feathers that she has been itching had gone all dry and hard and even come out leaving her a bald area around her vent. I cleaned her up and she isnt doing it as much now and is pooping and doing everything else fine. Can anyone shed any light on what this might be.

Gherkin Junior I would like please. Oh cant wait to be back after the weekend to hopefully little chickies!

Lets hope Mr Budgy2 doesnt turn his nose up at these eh Julie hehe.

Nope bet its tomorrow now dont you or overnight - bet you wont sleep tonight eh?

Any sign of Noodle yet Bea *crosses fingers*?

Good luck for tonight Julie, dont forget to let us know how Mr Budgy2 gets on okay!

Candy became like this at that age, it passes honestly, just keep doing what your doing, he WILL come out of it!

I am pretty sure Sherbets a boy. My Bobby sometimes has the odd brown bit on his cere, and warbling is definitely a male thing. My males feed other males especially Bobby and Candy and they are housed together. Max feeds everyone including one of my Cockatiels. I think you can be safe to say he is a little boy! By the way I love the look on birdies face he is so cute!

He is gorgeous. All the grey budgies I see are huge, my Bobby is teeny compared to them.

I thought it was very rare they got French Moult after 6 months of age, Im hoping so, if Im right it sounds unlikely thats what it is. Pixie will know more about that. Hope its some sort of easy fix deficiency thing, or even better nothing at all.

Oh Julie my thoughts will be with you, I hope its just a diet thing too, we love that big guy. Positive thoughts are with you.

My Max is like that at the moment and losing LOTS of big feathers definitely a molt!

Oh right I will order a couple of them, maybe the instant one plus I dont have carpet I have wooden floor so will easy sweet up hehe. Anne Im okay at cooking its just the bread baking thats not a success!

I only tried it the once but I might give it another go - whats their favourite flavour? We dont really get any corn mixes at all here, I will look at the supermarket tonight at the ready make muffin mixes see if they contain corn, if not I will try bake somethine myself from scratch - warning I arent they best bread maker in the world, it normally ends up heavier than all our birds on this site put together hehe!

I want to make birdie bread but all the recipes have that cornmeal stuff or Jiffy muffin mix both of which we dont get here and Im still trying to find an English version of that recipe. As for Beak Appetit that went down like a lead balloon they wouldnt entertain it. I boiled them up some eggs this weekend and they ate a bit of it but much prefer the sweet dried mix stuff so I had to throw out the last of the egg today.

I guy organic spinach and organic broccoli oh and my carrots and tops are organice because my Dad grows them for me. I also offer apple, melon and corn sometimes. I will be getting squash tonight hehe. Oh its pumpkin season I guess that will be okay its a type of squash. I will be buying kale tonight too although they werent keen last time.

Hehe looks hard work but I bet we will all have healthier happier birds and whats better than that eh?
