Thought I would pop in and give an update!

[phill]

OK, well since my recent absence
I have been a bit naughty, well a VERY NAUGHTY! I've added lots of new additions.
First off we have
Posh and Beckham! (yes I caved, more Quakers )
Here they are there first day home, and feeling quite comfy!!
The hen, (posh-blue) Was going through a heavy moult, which she now looks awesome!


Next we have Gcc Pair, Bella and Bello (meaning Beautiful boy and Beautiful girl in Italian)
They laid for me 3 weeks after getting them, unfortunately, the hen ate her eggies.. And killed a baby that hatched The baby looked to be deformed so that may have been a reason.. To my surprise, she has laid again, and I think is on 4 eggs? I haven't checked in a week or so, but am going to check tomorrow.
Bello

YAWN!

This is mummy on her first ever eggie!


Next we have my pair of WF tiels! ( who I can't believe are still unnamed!)



Next (LOL)
Is my baby gcc who I am hand rearing. My Pair of Gcc's, come from a great breeder here in Victoria, who I buy all my birds off and only her! All my flock come from her, and are all so healthy and great! (the only birds that aren't from here are the Quaker pair)
She was so upset, about the GCCs eating there baby and eating the eggs, that she asked me if I would like to have a bub free of charge and h/r the little bugger!
Got him at 1 and half weeks old, and the Lottie guy/girl now going on 5 weeks, is going great! Unfortunately, he is teething! OUCH! But am snapping that out of him pretty quickly, well hopefully lol.

When he arrived home (not the prettiest bub)


Getting feathers, about 3 weeks old


Most recent pic, about 1 week ago, got heaps more feathers since then


Well that's my confession all done LOL

[Berserka]

Well done Phill!

LOL you had to spoil it by naming your Quakers shocking names! LOL they'll be cross with you if they knew what you named them after!

Love the GCC bub! a real snuggle bun! How is CJ (jealousy wise) with the little one you are taking care of?

[Liz]

Lol Karen! I've given out more than my share of odd names... (in a moment of insanity, I named my toads Legless and Gimme, pun of the Lord of the Rings Legolas and Gimli

ANYWAY, all the birdies look great! I wish I had the space to be naughty like that... (My family is probably glad I don't )I'm looking at the quakers and thinking, "Wonder how much those cost?" and "I do know where to get good cages at clearance prices..."

[Scully]

Well guys could that beat Karens confessional record?, not sure but that was a big one..Huge! ...couple of Karma points comming your way Phill

You cant call that lovely sweet little bird after Victoria Beckham ...poor girlie

Good luck with your GC eggs this time..
You lucky bug! :Dbeing able to raise one so young, hes gonna be a snuggle bun
How can you tell its a boy

Your Tiel has stunning wing markings...i feel a name comming...
ANANI ...means 'my cloud'

[Scully]

ooops forgot something


Love the new Avatar Phill

[phill]

Hehe, what can I say! They are always frolocking around, and showing off infront of everyone, so who better to name them after

Thank's for the kind words everyone!

Scully, I don't know if he is a boy, I am just calling him that.. Lol, i'm hoping for him to be a girl lol, but I know that if I call him a girl he will be a boy LOL

You may wanna watch this thread as there may be a partner coming for the GCC bub and for Cj

[phill]

Ohh 1 more thing.
I went out to candle the gcc egg's this morning, she laid a total of 5 eggs in the clutch.. 1 day when it was really hot here, 41 degress, I went outside opend the peep whole and put a syringe full of water in the corner of the next box to try and keep the humidity up for the eggs. As it was obviously to hot for mum to still be in there.
But I accidently left the peep whole open, and 1 of the eggs feel out. At that time she only had 2 eggs, minus the one that droped out becuase of my error, only left 1. Unfotuanlty again, that egg was infertile. Went to candle them this morning, and there is 3 eggs.. So i'm pretty sure she is up to her old habit again and is eating the infertile eggs.. Wether or not it is true they can sence wether there eggs are fertile or not I don't know.. But I do know that the 3 remaining eggs are all FERTILE!!!!

[kiwi]

P.S - I'm feeling less guilty of being naughty by the minute
