Re: Everything Birds
Hahahahaha @Adge, very funny!! You are full of surprises. How do you remember jokes like that when ya need them?
I had yellow head Rosella & King Parrot visit calling away out back today. The birds make me feel less lonely. A huge flock f carella (?spelling, white like cockatoo but smaller), so many of them. Rainbow lorekeets have taken a liking to my neighbour's Gum tree lately. Been fun watching / hearing them about.
Haven't popped over grief thread yet, and cant go there atm - hope you're OK. Been thinking through of you. You make me smile 🙂

Oh @Former-Member Goldfinches (previous picture) actually hang from the the roof of aviaries upside down!
They fly then land upside down. I've seen lots of them do it.
So unusual. I don't think I've seen any other bird do that. They're very agile flyers.

Re: Everything Birds
Finally washed out and mended the bird cages. The little one is ready to use for transporting. Thought I might start with finches. Have to read back over previous suggestions here. Appreciate your input. Bit nervous about the responsibility, especially if I go away, as can't think who to ask to feed them.
@Adge, Will pop over Grief thread soon, see how ya going. Saw you on SAD thread there thanks. Having trouble concentrating in the words lately. Catch up soon 🐦🌷🌿

Re: Everything Birds
@Former-Member All the best with your new birds, when you get them.
I have the same issue - I have no one to ask to feed my birds & cats if I go away.

Re: Everything Birds
I bought 2 canaries yesterday, lovely orange ones with brown wings.
A male budgie, because I got it wrong last time (when one died) & bought another female budgie by mistake.
My bird family collection is looking up for the first time in years.
I haven't had 3 budgies in years, & I haven't had enough canaries in years (I had 20 & bred them about 15 years ago).
I removed some of the busted nest boxes & put in 2 new boxes - for the first time in about 10 years (they only cost $10 each)
I've still got to remove some more disintegrated nests next time & put in new nest baskets for the Bengalese finches.
It was a great struggle because my fatigue is at an all time high at the moment - I have no energy for virtually anything.
I feel happy because the birds seem happy, & the new canaries will give me more canary song!
They have some new nests, maybe I will get some baby birds for the first time in ages...
There's so much more to do, just to fix the aviaries & fittings. It's all got so run down over the past few years.

Re: Everything Birds
Adge @Adge, I DID IT!!! Going stir crazy here so prioritised the budget for birds, and I love em ☺🐦💕🐦 Got 2Bourkes & 4Finches. They didn't have any Bang... Finches so just got zebras. Sound amazing, so love their jappy sounds. The male Bourke pesters the finches occasionally so hope he settles. Get some close ups for you tomorrow, exhausted atm.
Just had to tell you. ❤🌷🌿🐦
