Posted June 12, 200816 yr That's it I am done this is the last of the birds I swear..... Yeah I know I don't believe me either. So here are my two new ones that I picked up today. Meet Lemon (she has an red leg ring anyone know what year that is, it's hard to read) Meet Lime (he has an orange leg ring again hard to read) Sorry for the crappy pictures but don't want to stress them out to much. I know that they are older birds but I really don't care. It was a bit of a pitty buy and Ivan kept telling me I should pair her up with a better cock but they are my cute little old couple. My sister says I should call them granny and grandpa but they might get a complex! And a refresh on my other guys so they do not feel left out. DQ (short for Drama Queen) and Fiji And the rest of the guys are in my sig. Aviary coming on Saturday morning with six other birds that I will not be keeping! Ivan my local breeder gave me a breeding cage stand that fits my cages on so that I can have a few pairs inside at anyone time. Mostly it will be the older birds over winter and then if I decide to breed come spring. So that's it that's me done... my mother is so going to kill me and Dad can't understand why I don't have more blue budgies! Edited June 12, 200816 yr by Angelic Vampyre
June 12, 200816 yr They are sweet... and I agree on the names... or Nan and Pa etc... It's cute when they pair up because they love each other . And not forgetting your other birds, they are sweet to. Good luck with the aviary this weekend!
June 12, 200816 yr Red leg ring is 03 so she isnt young and I would say getting past breeding age for a hen, and gold legring is 06. Lime is a french moult bird.
June 12, 200816 yr AV is lemon from the same person that bred Ozzie? Might be rung with the wrong year.
June 12, 200816 yr Author They are sweet... and I agree on the names... or Nan and Pa etc... It's cute when they pair up because they love each other . And not forgetting your other birds, they are sweet to. Good luck with the aviary this weekend! Yeah they are, I have been calling them Lemon and Lime for about 6 months now cause I would see them everytime I went to Ivans so I think it is going to stick . Red leg ring is 03 so she isnt young and I would say getting past breeding age for a hen, and gold legring is 06. Lime is a french moult bird. Oh I know she is not young, She is also the type of bird that would nest on the floor of her cage and has been producing eggs. The Last lot that Ivan took off her had chicks in them so they are still getting something right. How did you know he is a french Moult bird? *tilts head to side* okay going to have to go research that make sure he has everything he needs. As I said it was a pitty buy (not that Ivan charged me for them so they where more a pitty adopt) more then anything, I know I should not have but they are in love so I figure that they can live the rest of their lives out in a nice happy home. If they breed they breed if they don't they will always be together and.... oh god I am such a romantic at heart! AV is lemon from the same person that bred Ozzie? Might be rung with the wrong year. Hmmmm will ask might be the case. I know alot of his yellow/lutino birds came from this breeder so maybe. Again i know he has had this pair for at least the last two years.
June 12, 200816 yr Author I blocked the breeding box up and she has spent most of the afternoon trying to brake into it Thinking I am going to remove it for a few weeks but just need to work out how to plug the hole it leaves behind! They are so cute I just love them If Lime ends up being a French Molt bird (and I would take Kaz's word for it) I will have to rethink the aviary a bit but then again Harley can't fly very well either so there was always going to be lots of ladders and stuff and also gliding room then again maybe I just will keep them inside and let them just have one another for a while... DAM i use to be a cold hearted *insert rule word*
June 12, 200816 yr They've obviously been well looked after at Ivan's, personally I'd just let her go for it
June 12, 200816 yr Author I must admit I do like his birds and the birds he gets in and keeps. To think his pet shop started cause he breed budgies and Jock the other owner breeds finches and they needed to sell the excess stock At the moment she is sitting on the peg into the breeding box I think she had given up tonight. it might just be easier to let them have at it and see what happens she has been waiting two years to try and have some babies!
June 15, 200816 yr Author Wow what lovely looking birds Fiji especially looks gorgeous Fiji is one of MB's birds she has some really nice ones!
