Hi Guys...

As of yesterday i am the owner of Another 8 birds :)

A friend of mine had to sell his lot (11...3 had already been sold) as they were having night frights and his neighbours were complaining.... i said i could provide them with a new home for a very cheap price ($150... he chose it) The lot :( He gave me ALOT of extra stuff which i was VERY suprised and pleased with... all up i don't even want to think about all the stuff he gave me and how much it would be worth :( We got 5 kg of trill seed a large wooden perch ladder, 4 rope swings, numerous toys, 6 perch brackets, 3 packets of split rings, 15 budgie books! (excellent ones) 2 x double pine brand new nestboxes and a Flourescent glow in the dark perch/night light... i don't even want to think bout how much He paid for all of it :yellowhead: I tried to give him more money for it all but he would not take it :hap: But anyway ... What do you all think of the new birds :D Here are some pics :) Names would be appreciated!

Oldest ring aside the blue boy is gold which is 06, so with any hope we'll be able to breed some of these gorgeous birds :D

 

Let me know what you all think :)

 

sorry guys, two had to be made links... (photo bucket was being a pain!!! )

photo ok for show

it sounds like you got a bargain there, they are beautiful birds and you got a good variety as well.

Very nice libby :D

Very good birds Libby...very nice and healthy looking too. A few with green rings...last years. Do you know which time of year the green ring ones were bred ?

By the Way....you need a bigger aviary :D

Not too sure which part of 07 they were bred in kaz... But will probably be waiting a bit before breeding with them... or contacting the breeders.. either or :D

Great buy there Libby. Esp with all the extra stuff you got! Very nice looking birds too :D

They are beautiful. And wow. That beautiful sly blue with a band of 1997. He sure is getting up there in age. I hope he lives another good few years with you.

Wow, Great addition :hap: Nice TCB

 

"Score" on the Goodies too .....

Great birds Libby, you should be able to do something with that lot…sorry he had to get rid of them but, that's the problem with living in suburbia…you scored lots of other treasure too…lucky girl…I got an email last night, from a show breeder friend wants to give me some fertile eggs, as he has to go away & can't have more chicks hatching. The Sky is a fantastic bird, but you will have to be lucky in my experience to get young out of him, but you could be lucky certainly worth a try.
