I went to the store today to get some oat groats, and now I have two new budgies! (Bet you didn't see that coming  )They are still young, and I don't know if they are male or female. One is an albino, and the other is a beautiful violet with a yellow face. I always like violets, and the albino caught my eye because it looked very distinguished. Bad me....  |

lol are you talking about pets at home? cos they've been cutting down on their bird intakes for the last few months in preparation to stop supplying - bummer eh!

Yeah, I was talking about "Pets At Home". Shame about that as i've actually bought a good few birds from them in the past and have always found them to be healthy and long lived! Where do I go now....  |

You must be talking about enfield bird center in crews hill. I was there wednesday and they agreed to display some cards on the counter. Their kakariki's are normally in pretty good condition but occasionaly they have a few problems but not serious ones and a dose of ivermectin sorts that out which can be brought from Jollies just down the road.

They are settling in nicely. I'll take some pics as soon as I can find the camera, which has a nasty habit of disappearing.  When I was at the store, my mom was looking at some of the parrots and was playing with a lorikeet when it bit her quite hard. I almost had to take it off her shoulder for her. I don't think the experience did much to convince her to let me have bigger birds. Maybe a tiel someday.... |

I saw the woman that works there which is probably best cause he's a right grumpy git at the best of times. I think he'd still moan if he won the pools, the lottery and got left a million from a relative in the same week.

I've bought several birds from that area....a pet shop on the corner of the cross-roads...small amount of birds but good condition. I've also popped into the parrot place further on into Cruise Hill, they have some gorgeous birds in there. Unfortunately I haven't got around to learning to drive yet so I can only go when my aunts in the mood to get some plants...probably best....otherwise my credit card would be maxed out!  |
