    pretty pretty where have you been fishing? looks almost like a juvenile black angel fish haven't seen one that small though so don't lnow if they start with the red patch at around 2 inches they are yellow with blue dots in lines sort of on the body
  4. 2 minute noodles and weetbix are good not together though
  5. all our parrots get sunflower and safflower but in moderation you will find as many feeding regimes as you find bird keepers fruit and veges are all good, except those avocados sweet corn is loved and they will destroy an apple to get the pips his breast should be like a moderate tegel chicken that will give you an indication of meat on it young birds don't have as much muscle there until they start using their wings the breast bone should not feel like a yatch keel it may seem like he is just dropping things on the ground but he will be ingesting little bits where the neck meets the chest, wisbone area is the crop and you will be able to feel if it has something in it
  6. budgie and sunflower is a good mix to use, millet sprays don't worry about over feeding he will sort it out eats like a bird is a true saying too much sunflower can be fattening i don't feed any cooked food except porridge, other do so that is up to you i don't feed meat but do feed dog biscuits variety is the spice of life
  7. i have generally found that so long as your bird has exercise they don't tend to over eat too much sprouted seeds or mung bean mix from the supermarket are good
  8. ours return to shoulder quire well when free flight there is always the chance they will get a fright and keep on flying though conures when pet birds consider their humans to be their family so usually don't stray too far the big problem with a clipped birds finally flying is knowing where they are when up in the sky they usually haven't seen the world from that angle before and panic can set in the other thing is knowing how to brake and land when moving at speed teaching your bird to come when called is one way of minimising any risks involved, this can be achieved by using a special treat and rewarding each time it does it all our maroon bellies like to be on you just my experiences with them
  9. eclectus start clicking back at you
  10. i am pretty sure i have 2 males and a female the 2 main ones in vid do a lot of side bumping and the male nudges the anal area at the end of vid the 2 males have a mouth to mouth spar

  14. the bala sharks have been pushing each other around lately i think it is mainly the 2 males at it, the other just sits in the background mainly

  17. i did those diets in my younger life 2 heart attacks at 38 and feeling other effects of those diets now it would be neat to be an animal psychic so you could know if they were really happy
