Posted July 3, 200915 yr I've completed the move, it went great for the bird's they hardly stressed at all and fit right in to the new environment. a few downsides from the move was the cockatiel nest was abandoned and the chicks were half dead in the box taking a breath every 5-10 seconds. so i rushed them inside and turned the heat mat on with the box, had to blow into my hand for a good 20 minute's with the bird's in my hand and miraculously they survived. and another downside was one of my hen's went into the budgie's nestbox and litterally hammered one of the chicks in their, he had his eye picked at and was scabbed and swolen on top of his head, he also has this swolen red thing underneath his lower beak. it's gone down a bit now though... he wasnt able to swallow very well from the swelling so i had to force feed him with the syringe, and now he's doing fine, he's in the box with the 2 tiel's with the heat mat underneath the box, so i'm sure all 3 will come good nicely. as for the other nest's, most of the baby's in nest 2 green spangle's, and 1 is Opaline. I'll get some picture's later and update you's on it..... but apart from all the drama with the tiel's and such it was a very smooth move for the bird's. Edited July 3, 200915 yr by KAZ
July 3, 200915 yr Congratulations on the move... sorry there were some dramas. moving with breeding birds is very difficult at the best of times.
