omg i'm such a geek
when i saw my name not mentioned once but twice

i could feel myself turning beat red and blushing

i feel all warm and fuzzy inside knowing that i am helping others
train terrific birds
thats so cute how you didn't notice the gapping hole for the food dish
how do you plan on covering it?
in my old bird cage i had the same problem and i used a very stiff, and strong piece of cardboard
i cut it to fit and i slid it across weaving both ends through the bars
if it is difficult to weave through the bars (and i'm talking making you want to cry and seaming almost impossible
) then it is strong enough to hold your birds
your birds are beautiful
can't wait to see them all grown and tame
oh and by the way
there is a way to sex babies with a 98% success rate (your average budgie, nothing fancy or albino)
if the birds are over 6-8 months (different budgies hit maturity at different rates)
the male will have an obvious blue cere (the fleshy part above his beak and around the nostrials)
if it is a female, she will have a pinkish brown cere which will turn a crusty brown when she wants to make babies
if they are UNDER 6-8 months and there ceres are not an obvious colour,
the females will have a mostly white cere with a slight tint in some of bluey purple
the males will have a more purple-ish beak (light) and may have a clear white around the nostrails
also as said above, females tend to be wilder and bite alot harder
i knew pickle was a guy because he was never a biter (he and his siblings were handraised and the female chicks bit as hard as they could where as the males would just "chill" on your lap B)
)
and he started talking at under 3 months
he had a purplish cere with white nostrails
omg
HAHAHA
this is getting long but i just wanted to say
i just realized how much i use brackets
its kind of creepy
like there is two of me and the one in the brackets is talking over my shoulder adding their 2 cents
i'm such a freak (yes you are)
