Thank you a lot, but it almost impossible for me - maybe if I sell our car I could come :blink: (I'll think about it :D )

Bubbles,

Thank you so much for posting these many wonderful pictures. Your birds are all so beautiful. It is amazing to see the babies so tiny, and how they grow. It is very kind of you to take the time to share.

Thankyou .....it's a part of loving these budgies that compells me to take photos :ausb:

:blink: You are lucky the airfare is so expensive or we would be arriving en mass! :ausb:

Great photos as usual Karen. Bungee reminds me a tiny bit of little Bao. Is that her in your avatar? I'm also really looking forward to seeing the dilute baby in full feather. I think s/he will be gorgeous! And Sansia is lovely. I would have guessed she would be a YF1 because of her blue colour. But you know me and YF - they forever confuse me!

Bungee is kind of like Bao in that she is cinnamon, but Bungee is a different shade of green. The bird in the avatar is Izzy one of the first babies I bred and she currently has 3 babies. The eldest of the dilute babies died in a nesting box accident so we will never see what it would have become. The youngest I posted apikkie of as you saw. Seems to be exactly like the mother so apparently that makes the dominant pied Dad split to dilute. Some photos dont show blues right , but any blue that shows greenish from head to chest area ( i.e. the bleed of colour) is a YF2. The mother of my YF2 spangle babies and the DF spangle baby has new little ones and she also has produced an albino this time. :blink:

A new baby today to Spot and Precious making 3 plus 5 eggs to them.

Goliath and Jade AXX027x.jpg have surprised me with 5 eggs after having Crystal last time. All babies in nests big and healthy so far. Some interesting colourations on pin feathers in nests. Will be having some spangles at the very least. :blink: Always a surprise to look in Ciara's nest at 7 wiggling pink blobs :ausb: all doing fine.

I keep some, I rehome others. I don't sell to petshops. I have the space for a lot more budgies than I have but wouldn't overcrowd them as it affects their quality of life :ausb:

That is fantastic!! I would sure love to come and visit!! :blink:

************Here's an interesting article I found on the internet ************

RASPBERRY CORDIAL

ANTIDOTE TO GASTRO

 

http://www.lowchensaustralia.com/health/cordial.htm

 

and this one too

http://baliforfamilies.com/bali_belly_and_...rry_cordial.htm

 

Hi Karen, I have some very old friends who were missionarys in India many moons ago,

they told me way back then that they would always have Rasberry cordial to help in this area.

Cool, it might be a good idea to use it as a preventive messure. Just thinking out loud.

 

Cheers

Paul :(

trying to keep up with this post and not get confused with my mommy brain (Laughing out loud) - the babies look wonderful Karen!!

They are gorgeous birds- you must have a fulltime job just remembering all their names and who belongs to who!!!!

Yes....sometimes I forget a name or two. But their personalities and colours help me keep them in my head. I always know who belongs to who though. And now I use legrings for most of the babies. You have a nice aviary and some pretty birds :(

:( I confess I got confused a while back as to whose who's who but it's still nice to look at all the pictures. :(

Karen is having some trouble seeing the board so she sent me some pictures ( all very cute) I just hope the links i have to give work.

 

 

Edited out links due to not working.
