September 14, 200618 yr Author Jade and Goliath have been retired to the "holiday camp" in stage 2 of the aviaries. She laid her third egg of a hopeful round three of nesting. The marked eggs have been put in with another bird and Jade and Goliath removed. There is only two pairs of birds nesting now in that aviary with chicks. When they are finished they will be moved to "holiday camp" too. :budgiedance: The only birds breeding will be those in breeder cages then. I moved some of my babies that were doing well in the nursery into the juvenile aviary today. Have photos to load up later tonight.

September 14, 200618 yr Author Actually Kaya face says it all don't you think :budgiedance: what a good mommy she will definetly need a rest. Great pics, I have see the clothes hanger idea before that is cool, I always love your ropes in your aviary makes it look so junglish.  All the babies look great and are so cute.  Which ones are in the breeding cages?  I wont let Kaya raise all 8 babies fully. At some point I will move some babies to someone else so it isnt such a strain on her. She's a lovely bird and such beauties like her must be looked after. She has a very attentive partner in Sonny who adores her and does all the right things as a responsible budgie father, unlike some. Ty and Di are in breeder cages, as is Misty and Chucky, Bubblegum and Billie, Harley and Rose, Amara and Merlin, Luigi and Stella, Pie and Molly, and about 5 other pairs. One of my Mums sitting on eggs lost her partner but is continuing to sit and incubate the eggs. One of Goliath and Jades eggs is with her and 4 of her own. She is a skyblue cinnamon hen. Dad was a skyblue spangle. Hard to get good photos of pairs in breeder cages when one of them is sitting. I love the two dominant pied babies of Ty and Di....they are quite large chicks. She is a very good mother. It was very hard to match a girl to Ty as he was so "pushy" and dominant. But...finally.      WOAH!! 8 babies, that nest box is gonna be packed full once they get bigger!!  It's okay Bea. We won't leave her to raise all 8. Will move some next week to another mother. I think five in a nesting box is more than enough....after that it gets a bit cramped with one or two parents in there too.
September 14, 200618 yr Author what happened to the daddy? Daddy was an older bird from a breeder who said to take a chance on him with a clutch. He seemed fine .....no sign of illness and full of vigour ....but one very cold night passed away. Mother is fine.
September 14, 200618 yr wow he was gorgeous I love how the blue is running through his wings vs the black. So he was a spangle opaline sky blue?
September 14, 200618 yr Author wow he was gorgeous I love how the blue is running through his wings vs the black. So he was a spangle opaline sky blue? Yep he was a gorgeous boy. Spangle opaline skyblue yes and partner is cinnamon skyblue. Maybe we will have his babies yet

September 14, 200618 yr Author NAP TIME FOR BLACK AND WHITE "BUDGIES" Â wow you are very organized in your aviaries, very impressive, how do you move them about, all my budgies latch on to my skin a draw blood so moving them about is something i only do when its necessary. beautiful birds you have. Â It's okay....some of mine nearly draw blood too. But the more I handle them the less the do it. The new aviaries we are modifying have hatch doors between so as each bird "graduates" to the next level (baby from nursery section to juvenile section etc etc....) they will just be quickly caught or herded through a hatch door into the next area.
September 14, 200618 yr Can I put in an order for the YF mauve and one of the black and white budgies . Karen they are so cute you are certainly going to miss them I bet.
September 14, 200618 yr Author Can I put in an order for the YF mauve and one of the black and white budgies . Karen they are so cute you are certainly going to miss them I bet. Yes we will miss them. New owners will sign a contract in blood that under pain of death they MUST update on progress complete with photos :ausb: But one girl goes to my best friend Liz and we keep one, another will live in the same suburb as us so we shall get to see some of them.
