Posted August 17, 200816 yr Hi all, I am picking pair of budgies on Wednesday night to add to my collection! They are English - Grey Reccessive Pieds, beautiful birds, have bred before and apparently babies look the same as parents which is good. Question: How long should I quarantine for? Should I give them some sulphadim? Should I give it to my other birds in the aviary to prevent diarroea? Sam
August 17, 200816 yr You must quarantine all Birds for 30 days minimum! Even if they look healthy, you need to keep them at least 5 meters away from your others. Illness can time time to show itself.
August 17, 200816 yr 30 days min, I had some guys for almost 2 weeks before one started showing signs of sickness. as for grey names, you can always call the hen jean (as in jean grey from the x-men)
August 17, 200816 yr My greys are called Storm, Smokey and Stumpy (that's only because he has one leg so that doesn't count)

August 17, 200816 yr Author I really like Sooty, Smokey and Smudge. I already have 1 grey and she's called Batman. 3 names and 2 budgies..... gives me an excuse for more!!
August 17, 200816 yr Author really like Diesel too. Think I might go with Diesel and LPG...........LOL!
August 17, 200816 yr I agree with the quarantine suggestion and also don't cut it short nothing can come good of that , I like the first names you picked personally Coal and Sootie. In fact Kole is an actual name so you can spell it different but mean the same.
