  1. you would need a bigger flat phoenix, with a pond as well
  2. very good alan, is there another angle to see this from? or is life a polyhedron? when you have been doing something for awhile you can amass a wealth of experience and knowledge on the matter also you meet or become involved with a lot of people along the way, and like it or not you can be regarded as an "expert" in the field you are in be it hobby, business or just life unfortunately some people think that what you say is a fact and believe it blindly a good example of this is "but the pet shop told me that" many believe that if you work in a pet shop you must be knowledgeable and know what you are talking about i feel we have an obligation to tell the truth or at least let people know it is only our opinion or experience insert disclaimer about this post being just my opinion based on my experience
  3. they have different croaks also but i think can interbreed
  4. probably moving the eggs is your best option the divider couldn't be see through as there will still be a line of sight
  5. it is cockatiel for hey everybody here i am he is getting to that age, young man wants to be attractive to the opposite sex he might settle down when he matures more you can try distracting tricks when he starts, a water pistol can work when he starts to screech a squirt will usually divert his attention away from the screeching repetition and consistency is vital though don't squirt him from too close a range also try covering his cage when he starts as well some use a clicker as a diversionary tool if he is on you does he shut up? phoenix may have some other tricks to share
  6. super glue no not serious how long has he been screeching for?
  7. let rusty at him or i can send down this guy more bite for your buck
  8. where would you house it sam they have problems with their feet if they are on a hard surface for too long these birds are lucky to touch land between breeding seasons
  9. some info here http://www.malawicichlidhomepage.com/ot ... us_sp.html
  10. force feeding is fun as the beak is razor sharp on the edges
  11. Mr Albie Tross said he can give phoenix a peck on the cheek if he wants
  12. yes beautiful bird, not very agressive at the moment just wants to be left alune the fun part will be when i force feeding the pilchards down that beak Bullers Albatross me thinks unusual to find one on the mount main beach must have been rough at sea
  13. This bird arrived today Seems to be alright just a bit exhausted
  14. it should get on alright with those fish but don't know about the ph aspect
  15. lets try to keep this thread within the guidelines as i think this issue is important to the hobby in new zealand there are a few people interested in this issue and will be able to make up their own minds as to what is being discussed, even though they may not be posting
  16. i almost threw my first lot of gold axolotl eggs out because they were white the person who had the pair before me said they had thought the eggs were no good so removed them
  17. people are probably stuck on the naming thing as then you know exactly what you should be getting when young fish purchased mature the naming needs to be the full scientific name to ensure that what it is, is what it is too many fish in this country are sold from lfs etc with a name plonked on fish by the importer, exporter or lfs having the right id and name ensures that buyers and sellers all know where they stand and nobody should be unhappy as more experienced fish keepers with hopefully more knowledge we can help to ensure novices are on the right track from the start we have a responsibility to lead by example
  18. a couple of dogs ate a sea slug on the beach and died because of it so we are going to ban all puffers?
