It was great seeing them all. The ring necks looked great. They were my favourites besides the budgies of course!

Joey is very cute with his pokey-outy tummy feathers!

wow! i love animals except dont your dogs scare the animals. dogs scare me what about budgies there as big as my foot! lol maybie its my own phobia ? lol

great pictures

No all the animals are expected to live together harmoniously, if they cause problems they get into trouble The cat, rabbit and dogs all play together in the backyard and some of the budgies will even talk to the dogs through the aviary if they sneak in to the breeding room (there is usually a fence across the door though), the dogs have been around other animals since trhey were tiny puppies so they know they are off limits

i love it when people have the respect of their animals to the point that they understand they are each seperetly loved and their for happy to live in perfict harmony with in a family group well done melbourne they are all beautiful

Very cute.

Is Joey a Stanley Rosella?

What is a Stanley Rosella? It seems you have a few of the same species as us but you call them by different names... He is a Yellow Rosella which is a closely allied species to the Adelaide Rosella (considered by some to be a sub species of the Adelaide -a bit of contention here )

The only ones I know of are Stanley, Eastern and Crimson. I'll google it.

Stanley Rosellas are also called Western Rosellas according ot google and Wiki.

However those ones look completely red with yellow cheeks. A bit like an eastern with yellow instead of white cheeks.

 

Here is a link to Wiki's list of Rosellas.

Can't see him on it

 

Haha the Northern Rosella is also known as the Smutty Rosella!

 

Right, the Adelaide and Yellow rosella are now considered variants of the Crimson Rosella

Correction: Subspecies of the Crimson Rosella

Sounds like it has now been reclassified as a sub species of the Crimson Rosella

Ha Ha, SNAP!

 

 

I did say it was a bit of a contentious issue Every time I look it up it has changed again
