Posted May 31, 200817 yr melbournebudgies has some really nice birds and today I went and picked up two, I so could have fallen in love with all them them and brought them all home! My two are such cute little guys. The little boy did not want to hop off my finger while the girl protested loudly as to the fact that she had been taken from her aviary and stuffed in a box! Settled them into Qarra together as they came out of the same avairy. Sorry the following pictures are not better but I want them to settle in a bit and my guys are all excited about they fact that they can hear the new birds but can't work out where they are! I need names so any help would be great. Also my need for an avairy is now high up there so if anyone sees a cheap one floating around or has one in the Melbourne area then let me know, my biggest issues is that it will have to come apart to fit through a standard door. My other guys hanging out (Mozzie refused to get in the shot!) Random but my puppies where feeling left out
May 31, 200817 yr Author Very cute I like the little hen the best I know she is sweet, I am thinking of calling the boy Fiji cause all my boys are named after what they come home in, Harley come to my on a Harley motorbike, Blue came wrapped in a blue jumper Fiji cause they came in a Fiji water box. The girls always get their name from their appearance or attitude, Mozzie cause she bites like there is no tomorrow and it hurts like ***, Flame cause of her yellow body and red eyes.... Hmmmm oh well off to buy some more budgie stuff now!
May 31, 200817 yr They look lovely. the hen is VERY nice!! and i love the bright colous of the male. might be just my monitor, but it looks like the male has light staining above his nostrils??? if he does, he might have (or have had) and respiratory infection???
May 31, 200817 yr I can clear up the face staining I have a dirt floor in my aviary and they sometimes get dirty faces.
May 31, 200817 yr I can clear up the face staining I have a dirt floor in my aviary and they sometimes get dirty faces. Cheeky little diggers
May 31, 200817 yr I have one in there with a permanently browny-red face, she looks like a red faced blue. There are a few bits of reddish coloured bark chips in there and she hunts them out and chews them up!
May 31, 200817 yr wow very pretty birds! Absolutley love your doggies!So cute,need more pics of them!
June 1, 200817 yr Author Thanks guys melbournebudgies really has some nice birds! The male we are calling Fiji the female is either going to be princess or Drama Queen (DQ for short) as she is really kicking up a storm over beiong moved from her avairy. Really need a big new avairy so going to have to hunt out one in the next few weeks.
June 1, 200817 yr Author I know you told me that but this weekend was my worming weekend so they got another dose, one of the things I do is try an get new birds on or very close to the date that I do all prevenative measures that way they are in the rotation. The really funny thing is I have already got three of the babies (that are yet to be concieved) sold! A few friends on LJ took one look at Fiji and want one of him.... told them that the chicks might not be like him but they asked to be put on a list for then they do end up with chicks! Here is hoping that when they get access to the breeding box in a few weeks that they take a liking to each other!
June 1, 200817 yr I do the same too with me treatments, nothing worse then not knowing when 1 set a re due and not the others lol, all my horses, dogs and birds get wormed the same time Babies already being sold , hope they have plenty of fertile eggs for you, Let us kow how they go good luck
June 2, 200817 yr Unlikely they will have babies like him(most likely they will be yellow and blue/grey pieds) but my next planned clutch should be very much like him so let me know if they really want that colour as I can probably help out. I plan to breed that pair in love you pointed out in the back corner with the very pale goldenface spangle(blondie) and his GF normal girlfriend.
