Getting My New Birdies Tomoz :D

After the death of Joey my pet budgie last friday i asked my mum if i could rehome the sick and injured finches and other birds that are kept at my works in my old bugdie flight, and she said yes! Well seeing as i work there i will be getting the birds for free and they will be a mix of 3 canaries about 6 zebra finches and a few others... Oh and a partially blind quail. Also my owrks have told me that if the birds were to breed they would happily pay me for the youngsters. Just thought i would post to see if anyone else out there had finches of some sort.

Thats a good offer, both from your Mum letting you bring them home, and from work that they'll buy babies from you

No, no birds currently. Had 2 finches a long time ago. Love those little chipper guys! Make sure u post pics once they are settled in. Sorry for my ignorance, but what's a budgie?

Got them they are loving their new home where they can fly. even though half of them havent the strenght to do so.

That's good news......don't forget some pics of them

Oh bless. about 10 years ago someone found a male zebra finch and gave it to me. i put it in an old cage and bought it a friend, they had one baby. Then they had another 5 babies. i removed any further eggs and slowly they died off after about 5 years of living together. The last one died only a couple of months ago aged about 10 years. They live very well with canaries.

Yeah they are getting on fine with them, a little fighting going on to establish whos boss. im picking up 4 more zebras tomoz. i have a semi blind chinese painted quail with them as well called one eyed willy lol. i think the space they have will need to be modified a little to adjust to the new amount in there. but seeing as these birds have been stuck in an overcorwed cage with only 2 perches i think a small avairy with 20 or so small finches should be great for them :D im just so glad i could give them a new home after working with them for over 2 years and seeing them in this dark cramped cage and now they finally get to see sunlight. they were all having a bath and sunbathing today actually at the front of the avairy lol, they seem so happy.

Sounds wonderful! Would LOVE to see pics of your birdies and set up!

Yeahh i will have to get pics soon :D

I had an aviary in my back garden about 15 yrs ago :D It was 18ft x 6ft and housed 5 cockateils, including a pair of the white coloured ones (cant remember what they're known as)

I also had a Kakariki :D They are well funny little birds and act like little chickens. However they eat electric cables :lol!:

Haha yeah kakariki's are known for their forageing :D

Just over a week on and the little birdies are thriving! :D One pair already has 3 eggs and will soon start incubating and another pair is preparing their nest so babies on the way hopefully

Good stuff Nath
I saw some Lutino Kakarikis earlier in the week...very nice looking :D

Yeahh we sell them at my works, we have a waiting list for them as they are so popular :D

Oh, that is such great news! They must LOVE it at your place. Can we see pics - pretty please?
