January 12, 200916 yr Author Well I am here. Airport ride - a hearse-turned a few heads. Hot, but it is only going to get worse Off to see my first breeder today. I will take some photos.
January 12, 200916 yr YAY!! you finally made it!!! its so funny how people look at you in the hearse. especially considering its left hand drive. as a passenger, you gotta try looking asleep or something else funny that makes other drivers freak out because they think you are the driver :rofl: :rofl:
January 12, 200916 yr Glad to hear you made it safe and sound! Look forward to the pictures and stories of your travels
January 12, 200916 yr Glad to see ya made it Dave. Whats going on in Gingin. I myself will be in Cuballing that day.

January 12, 200916 yr Kaz will not let me into the birdroom as the floor is yet to be cleaned - ha ha ha. Funny :rofl: it's a palace in there
January 13, 200916 yr Glad you made it Dave and already bought 7 birds, can't wait to see the pics :rofl:
January 13, 200916 yr Author okay, here is the moment you have all been waiting for. A Grey/Green Cinnamon Cock. He is an '04 bird however he was a gift and he is an excellent father. Next is a Grey spangle Cock. He is and 07 bird but he refused to sit well in the showcage Next is a 06 Light Green Cinnamon Winged Hen An 07 grey normal cock Guess who? An 07 Green Opaline Cock Me again!! Now, these two brothers I am so far calling Dumb and Dumber. The sky blue opaline spangle is the ditzy blonde of the budgie world (apologies to the blondes on this forum), actually they are possibly sky violets I can perch when I want!!! I also purchase 3 new birds today. No show cage pics, but they are a grey opaline cock, a grey(maybe mauve) opaline girl, and a sky blue cinnamon wing boy. I also bought a travel cage. Nice and big, room for plenty more birds. More pics to come with more purchases.
January 13, 200916 yr Looking great! Love the grey spangle that won't perch and the sky blue... the wing markings are great!!
January 13, 200916 yr :rofl: What a brilliant shot!!!! :rofl: You will be coming home with more than me at the rate you are going at! Great birds too
January 13, 200916 yr You've bought some good birds there, well done! From now onwards you need to think about buying birds that have features that these birds don't have so that when you do your pairings they'll compliment each other.
January 13, 200916 yr OH I LOOOVE Dumb and Dumber, such beautiful birds! I want a baby from one of these! I love the grey scallywag too! He has character. Edited January 17, 200916 yr by Neat
January 13, 200916 yr Author Thanks for the kind comments. Renee, I am trying to look at getting good quality birds with a range of good features. For example, the grey opaline male that was in the last lot of purchases has a good head, but not the desired length. Needs a longer mask too. When I pair him up to breed, then I will put him with a bird that will complement him. I am trying to think along these lines. I am not simply buying birds, but rather birds that will fit into what I am doing. Trish - they are an amazing blue. Everytime I look at them, I say "wow", they are so electric. They have a sister who is not aslong or boofy headed, rarely hens are as boofy as the cocks, but she will not be coming home with me.
