once they get the taste of egg, they love it!

Thankyou very much again KAZ for the egg and biscuit recipe.

 

This is the first time my birds have ever touched the egg. They get a hard boiled egg 4 times a week with vegies but they never touch the egg. Now they eat it on a daily basis.

Thats great news....maybe next time you make it you can do photos and an article for the forum ?

How much did it make ?

Hi

 

I used about a quarter of the mixture and got a large lunch box full of it.

 

Your not going to beleive this but just before I was walking out to check on the breeding birds and...

A pet budgie was sitting on top of the cage. He is very tame and He flew straight to me when he saw me. He looks to be very young, he still has the bars on his head. I cant tell if he is dominant or recessive pied.

This is the second budgie that is not mine that I've caught in 3 weeks..

I will post pictures soon.

They must know you look after your birds. Be sure to advertise this little guy heaps (local posters and something in the lost and found), as if it's that tame, someone is sure to be missing it. Good luck and I hope you find it's owners!

I spotted another budgie near my avairy. I bet these 2 are both related, they are both violet pieds. The one outside is about 6 meters up in a tree and I dont know how to catch him. I put about 5 different bird bathsof seed and water down on the ground and now all I can do is wait. Do you think he can survive in the wild for atleast one night? I hope he comes down and I'm able to catch him.

You must have a neighbour nearby with budgies for this to keep happening...you may have to check your immediate neighbourhood to see who else has budgies. Hope you catch the other one. Can you put the first one you caught in a cage near the seed ?

Its almost dark here though, should I leave him outside all night?

 

If all my other birds chirp, will the budgie in the tree come down to the cages?

Its almost dark here though, should I leave him outside all night? NO

 

If all my other birds chirp, will the budgie in the tree come down to the cages? Should do......be ready with a net

okay Thanks I hope he comes down

This is the one I have caught, he is eating like crazy. theirs no telling how long he has been starved for.

 

 

 

 

Is he a clearflight pied?

The mutation and gender would be greatley appreciated.

 

Thankyou

Awww, she's cute!

She

Agree, she violet dom pied

okay Thankyou

I caught him!!!!!!!!

 

I woke up this morning and he was in a 3 metre high tree. I moved his mates cage under the tree and after an hour of sitting and waiting, He finally came down and sat on top of the cage. He is a violet spangle baby, I am sure they are related.

 

Do I need to put him in a different cage for quarantine or can he be quarantined in the same cage as his mate?

I am so happy. I will post pics soon.

 

I have put an add in the local paper and I will ring up the neighbours.

Awesome! If it were me, and I was confident they were related, I'd pop them in the same cage, but others may suggest different. My theory is that they were both out 'together', and would probably had exposure to the same things, and you hen has only been in quarantine for not quite a day.

okay Thanks very much Maesie I will take pictures soon.

That is brilliant news !!!! I am so glad you had such good results Look forward to updates...

WOW!! all these loose budgies

 

Well done for catching them!

There must be a careless budgie keeper near by

how many budgies have escaped recently... thats crazy! Glad you were able to catch them

Hi all

 

I rescued a yellow and green budgie 3 weeks ago and now the 2 today and yesterday.

The two violets are eating well. I have called everyone in our street and not one of them own budgies. You would think the budgies are from close by as they were both still together when I found them.

 

Here is the new one (I'm guessing she)

 

 

1. Can you tell the age of these budgies? I think they are young.

 

2. The babies both have a tint of yellow in their feathers... can that mean they are yellowface?

 

3. Can someone tell me the gender and mutation of the second caught budgie

 

Thankyou all.

Awwwwww, cute... and yes, another GIRL. I agree they are both quite young (6 weeks??? maybe)... and my guess would be sisters.

They are both hens.

 

One is a spangle and the other is a dominant pied

 

They look well cared for and pretty healthy. The yellow could be YF or it could be food or medication staining.

Also, They both have iris rings so I guess that means they are not babies.

 

Thankyou for al the help

Hi

 

The budgies are all going well.

The 2 I caught are eating and drinking and have no sign of disease.

 

The 4 babies from summer and chompers nest are now in the avairy and loving it.

 

The 3 french moult babies are now in a seperate cage and I dont know what to do with them.

If I leave them in the cage it will get boring for them eventually but if I put them in the avairy many things can happen eg: The other budgies can steal their food, The quails could hurt them etc,,

What should I do? They cannot fly so they waddle around like ducks. The youngest (the blue one) sits in the egg food dish all day to protect it, its funny to see.

 

The 2 cockatiels are in their own cage now for 3 months and then I will put them in the avairy, they can both fly and eat.

 

The yellow and green wild budgie I caught is going well. He is eating and drinking and no sign of disease.

 

Thanks
