Hi Emmy still have the young cockatiels don't intend selling them at present. As usual got my dates mixed up thought sale was this coming weekend . Not to worry will get across again .Glad your having success transferring chick and egg ,shame about toots.

Nothing wrong with their voices . Hope you are keeping well Emmy. We are fine here and have bred 6 nice cockatiels from the pair you gave me this was two rounds.

Hi Emmy I see you are taking on another challenge ,hope chirpy does well as I'm sure with your expertise it will. Look forward to next update.

Thanks for birthday wishes.

Belated birthday wishes Andy sorry I missed it .

Hi I just wondered if Clare and I are trying to use same word and don't understand it being omitted. I was using the word which we all pull at Xmas and it bangs.

That's a wee ******* .

Hi Emmy They are clever little devils I have put two in aviary and kept one in house . This is its favourite perch (see photo).

Thank you Andyn and Sarah for the colour breakdown . Thought they were two lutinos and a pied just goes to show what I know lol. Emmy bet you have your budgie talking in no time.

Got these on Sunday a late Xmas present .

Hi Shelley welcome to the world of zebra finches. Don't think you will only have two for long ,as we all started with that idea.

Hi Angel Welcome to the forum ,great bunch here so don't be afraid to ask questions.

Hi Emmy great video very interesting. Sorry to hear you have had problem with hawk. I have two buzzards that swing over but not interested in aviary luckily.

Hi emmy they are doing grand but have transferred them into aviary and they seem to be enjoying flying around more than in the living room. They are very accurate flyers now but didn't cope too well when let out the cage in house. Patch as I called him tells me he is a cheeky boy and other interesting noises. Spot chatters but not speaking ,but she is more vocal being outside she was very quiet in the cage. They are both very good joiners and have removed most of the corners from aviary wood .lol Will need to get across to see you before the winter weather creeps in.

Nothing new there then Emmy back to the hand rearing it must be second nature now. You would just have come home from Stafford with more birds to sneak in so maybe a blessing lol.

You've done a grand job with your latest baby looks good.

Sorry its late but happy birthday glad you had a good one.

Welcome sure you will enjoy chatting and posting . Nice garden. Dave.

Hi Jon, Welcome to the forum hope you enjoy it. Dave .

Its amazing how they are self sufficient from day one. I worked at a poultry farm and got in 90k day olds it was great to see them get stuck into crumb. Wish I was closer as well fancy getting some.

Oh Emmy sorry to hear about your owl finch . You don't want to get on the wrong end of the parrot beak. Will see you on Sunday if all goes well. If your taking birds for sale let me know what you have going still looking for some more . The old spaniel in photo of aviary build took ill suddenly a week ago and unfortunately the vet could not save him . It leaves a hole he was always in the shed when I was with the birds but life goes on.

He certainly sings for his supper

You must be the hand rearing champion. Will you make the sale on Sunday?
