Thanks Shannon.

I'm gonna get lots more photo's of the girls. not really sure i like (hen 2) anymore... I really should have thought about it more.. but the lady in the pet shop wouldn't stop talking to me. lol I think she was glad of the company, I was in there for atleast 2 and a half hours picking the other three

She's cute, I just don't like the colour of her..

lol okay, thanks heaps for the corrections Elly

This one (Hen 1)

 

 

is NOT an OPALINE cinnamon grey green spangle but she is a cinnamon grey green spangle

she looks opaline to me? ...Oh and the Cobalt closer looking looks like it is carrying the violet gene too.

Okay.

 

Sad News!

 

My beautiful boy has died! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

When I went out to check on my birds, like i do every morning, he was dead on the bottom of his quarantine cage. I dunno what happened. He look perfect last night. And the girls I bought are all fine. Could he have had a heart condition or something?.. He was an 07 bird so, old? but Cloud is an 07 bird... but he's got his health problems too... (namely the thing on his wing, which hasn't changed and the vet rang. I taking him in tomorrow.)

can someone make me a list or something of things that could of caused his death and what to watch out for?

so i'm just a little bit prepared next time.

Okay.

07 is NOT old at all. :rofl: Seeing as he died so soon after purchase I would be inclined to pop his body into a plastic container and return to the Pet Store and ask for a replacement bird. You said the lady there was friendly, so hopefully she'll do the right thing. Good Luck!

Sorry to hear that it Could old of the heat yesterday the other birds are gorgeous :rofl:

That's what i'm doing renee. when my partner puts his shoes on..

I kept them out of the heat esterday splat. they were in my spare room with the a/c and didn't go back outside till it was heaps cooler.

PS Thanks to daz for the photo :rofl:

You know how males (humans) are.. well.. male..? (no offense meant guys, i'm just saying..) My partner, more then halfway to the pet shop decided that we should go and enrol in tafe. (we are both going to be doing VCE cos neither of us finished first time around) And by the time we finished that the pet sop was closed. Of course I was aruging with him about it the whole way over, but because i don't have my licence there wasn't a whole lot i could do about it. He's the driver, he decided what order we do things in

We get to the petshop and there aren't trading hours or anything on the door, it's just some one of those "some person bought a shop and just happens to be selling birds n' things" (< name of shop) places. So i ring my mum, who as my mum, has to know just a little bit of everything :budgiedance: She says that it opens at 8am. so guess what time i am going there in the morning 7:30am. She said (in her rambling, the girl that works there) that she usually gets there an hour or two before it opens. So she should be there.

My partner took a photo of him. Too show her. and I've buried him in the backyard, next to the lavender plant.

my poor boy

He is a lovely looking bird! They seem to be selling some good quality brds. Do you know how old he is, does he have a legband?

He is an 08 bird. Same as the rest of my flock, except Cloud who is 07.

 

Oh, and (Hen 1) has gone to my mum. I spent all day today cleaning and fixing her aviary. Dad is getting cement for the bottom in the morning.

Well gee thanks Jimmy! I have nice birdies too!

Haha yes you do Trish! Everyone here has nice birds, even the ones in the cities... I probably should of said, something like, I'm really surprised with the amount of nice birds coming out of Country Victoria at the moment... I imagine (I don't know) that there are more breeders in the cities s more chance for them to get there hands on nice birds...
