You're welcome, although I just looked and realized that my post didn't make much sense. What I was trying to say was actually what you've decided to do. Sorry about that, I've been pretty busy/tired lately. Anyway, glad to hear Buggy seems to be doing better, and hope to hear about a complete recovery soon.

Very fun picture! Thanks for sharing! ;D
So your Bubu is a survivor! I had a budgie named Star that I found in my friends backyard when he was barely 6 months old.

So sorry to hear that Buggy is not doing well... My personal opinion is that you should take him in to a vet as soon as possible. It may be a false alarm, but birds tend to hide it when they don't feel well, and don't start acting sick until they are quite ill. I suppose keep a close eye on him. If he's eating, drinking, and pooping as normal, good. If he gets more lethargic (just sitting around) I'd take that as a bad sign. It's up to you about the vet. Do you have an emergency vet in your area? (Unfortunately those vets aren't the best with birds usually, and they are quite expensive.)

Thanks Scully and Erik! I'm not particularly fond of polka dots, but I do prefer this flightsuit to his BRIGHT pink one. (Btw, I did NOT pick suits out, they came in a pack! )

Goodness, sorry your lot is giving you such a hard time! Hope things start getting sorted out quickly... it is hard enough with just one bird when Jasper decides to throw a temper tantrum! Glad the IRN is doing well, though. I make a similar mash and give some to Jasper everyday... he got a good start as a baby, so he'll eat pretty much anything, by hand, spoon, or dish. Makes it easy to give him healthy food! ;D

You have a good setup there! I'm a sucker for bright toys... it just makes things look more cheery. Fortunately my conure shares me tastes!

What lovely budgies! I used to have around a dozen budgies... they are such fun birds!

Shanlung, thank you for your honest opinion on harnesses! Your post surprised me, but I can understand... I've been very disgusted with most of the harness "options" out there. I'm liking the Tink harness. I don't think Jasper would take to kindly to a new harness right in the middle of moving stress, but perhaps down the road, and I think I'd still use the flight suit for some things, but we'll see! Aw poor Katie! Granted, I'd be cursing too, but the poor thing must have really been out of it!

Lovely girl! Hope the pairing is successful!
She's a pretty bird... and not biting must be quite a plus, too!

He looks so at home, just munching away! He seems like the type of bird that could just tour the world and own every place he stopped at! I had to laugh at Biggles pose... when I first brought Jazz home he couldn't actually balance on one foot. He'd always end up toppling over or hanging upside down from a perch with the ever present snack in one foot! "Wait... mom... how'd I get here? Help?"

Jasper holds it in all night. He has a sleep cage in a different room so that I can make especially sure he doesn't get cold and gets a full night sleep... sleepy Jasper = grumpy Jasper.
He regurgitates also. I'm trying to get him to understand that a nice little chat or a kiss is much more to my liking as a statement of love!

Hey there! Nice to meet you. I've got a green cheek conure named Jasper. He's such a clown! I'm looking forward to hearing more about Sunny. ;D

What brilliant colors she's got! She's like a little autumn leaf. Hope she continues to settle in well.
