  1. Belated happy birthday. How are the parakeets?
  2. Thank you. Had a lovely day learning to spin silk straight from the cocoons (you had to be there I suppose ) Then when I came home, the cpqs had laid the first egg for a fortnight, so had spinach and quail egg (unfertilised) pizza for tea.
  3. Happy birthday from me too.
  4. Lovely little bird Emmy. Hope he settles in well. Do you quarantine new arrivals?
  5. Welcome Andy from a newbie. Bee
  6. Hi Carole I'm a newbie zeb keeper and have already had lots of advice from the members here.. I've also been to a couple of auctions and both those who ran it and some of those attending, have been very generous with advice. I'm keeping only males as I don't want my numbers to increase. I know this goes against the grain for most, but that hasn't stopped members here being very helpful and supportive. Enjoy Bee
  7. Hi Sarah and welcome from a fellow newbie to the forum. I too, had plans of what I would keep....the zebs....but 1 auction later had fallen for Chinese painted quails and now have 5 of those pottering about under the finches. Have fun Bee
  8. Lovely little bird Clare, excited for you.
  9. Oooo clare....look closer! And as for 2 hours, most of that was either a policeman, or a farm hand, wandering around the corner, counting them and then going again!
  10. Oh no, it was hilarious even at 4 in the morning. My boys and hubby went back to bed, but I made a pot of tea and my daughter and I sat and watched. It took 2 hours for the farmer, 4 farm hands and 2 policemen to round them up and load half of them into a truck, then come back for the other half.
  11. Off topic, but just had to share..... My family are just getting used to my zebs , peeping away in the living room. We're off to look at Chinese painted quails tomorrow. The police have just knocked us awake at 4am, to say....there are 13 cows in your front garden!!! I woke my family and told them that since we might be getting our own quail eggs soon....I thought it might be nice to have fresh milk too. Lol lol lol...3 teens stunned into silence at 4 in the morning!
  12. How lovely! My zebs are getting used to dogs running past, the parrot shouting, barking and singing 'always look on the bright side of life', so I think they'll get used to the quail. I'm supposed to be waiting until my birthday next month....we'll see
  13. Excuse the question if it's silly... As I have all male zebra finches, if I keep all female Chinese painted quail, would they be releasing any hormonal aroma that might excite my zebs?
  14. Thank you both. Looking forward to seeing what the zebs think of them...
