If you want to break up your long journey why not drive to where you are collecting him then stay overnight somewhere near there. Next morning collect your bird and drive straight home! Much better for the bird if he comes straight home without stopping overnight somewhere. This is how people do when collecting birds from me.

Two females would live very happily together. It is only fair to the bird for it to have a friend if you haven't too much time to give it for company, after all - birds are flock creatures! We keep and breed many birds and I always advise 2 if new owners lead a busy lifestyle. Most of our own birds are kept in two's as well.

Whatever you decide in the finch/canary group please get at least 2 birds, they are miserable when kept alone.

Hi there. I think Budgiebuddy has hit the nail on the head!! From what you've said I would think perhaps the parent birds are ready to hatch more babies again. When this happens in the birdy kingdom then the previous set of babies need to be out of the way. Even if they are still in the nest being fed they will be attacked as Mum wants to use the nest again for her next brood. We have many different types of bird here (used to have diamond doves but not nowadays). Diamonds are usually very prolific and you may find you get this problem quite often. Whenever you find she has laid an egg and still has chicks then you will need to remove them for their safety, otherwise don't let Mum go to nest again.

Budgiebuddy you are correct! The yellow-thighs have a more slender upper mandible than the black headed, also as you can see the colour is skintone instead of black. Rupert is only 2 years old so is still a baby whereas the blackheads are 18 years!!

What is the name of the illness that she's supposed to have? The only illness I know of that can be caught from birds & is capable of killing a human is Psittacosis. However it is passed on in a few cases and yes we have had psittacosis here in our house many years ago amongst our own birds due to me rehoming an imported amazon - we learnt the hard way!! We did not catch psittacosis though and are not likely to now as the infected bird is not here any more
