they r beautiful pics but I have to admit the foxes turn me cold as they r classified as vermin here in Oz and I have had a running battle with them on the farm as they love my ducks and chooks and the blighters r great climbers no problems scaling 8 feet high fences so I have to trap them or else lose my poultry

In all my years of breeding budgies this is the first one that has become egg-bound a new experience for me.
I noticed her this evening when I went to feed and put them to bed and she was very lethargic and I put it down to her sitting on eggs which were due to hatch any day.
She was out of the nest sitting near the water container with a big bulge.
I have treated her with a warm bath and administered warm oil in her rear and she is sitting on a perch and hopefully the egg will pass in the next few hours.
She will be taken to the vets in the morning so it is going to be a long night but she is worth it.
I am going to have her sterilized as I discovered that one of the eggs that she laid was larger than the others and on opening it I discovered it was a double yolked egg, so I'm presuming the egg that is bound is also very large hence the need for sterilization and she will become an indoor bird and live out the rest of her life as one spoilt bird.
I have taken pics of the egg with the two yolks and will post them as soon as I can. (still learning how to download and post them. My daughter usually does it for me but I'm learning)
Will let you know how she goes

My son had a Huntsman Spider in his bedroom for months it just kept moving from one corner to another he didn't worry about and he wouldn't let me put it outside. It eventually disappeared and I thought it had just gone out his window saw nothing for weeks until my daughter let out an almighty scream and came running out of the shower naked .The spider had dropped on her and as she is terrified of them . I can laugh now but at the time I wasn't game to she would of killed me. She couldn't even watch the movie The Arachnids she's that scared of them and she is an adult
