  1. ensuring they are clean is the problem, some keep them in bran for a few days before feeding out
  2. not so much a matter of heating hang a 100 watt light bulb in sheltered back of aviary with perches near it gouldian finches don't have a down on them so get cold quickly they are only small birds and food they consume is used to heat their bodies on cold nights our long nights in winter mean they run out of internal heating the lighting allowed them to get to the food to recharge the heating system worked for me zebras should be able to handle a winter outdoors if they feed off a damp floor in winter they can get fungal infections in their nasal passages
  3. have you tried them on earthworms? how big are they and how are you housing them?
  4. now you are talking, so long as you have a reference to correlate you will get a positive ID
  5. only ever heated outdoors for foreign finches, not zebs though
  6. welcome to the forums fishlover
  7. AMEN, praise the firenzenz
  8. it has a L number LA00 no firenzenz nothing subtle or maybe just a twisted sense of humor, i was quite taken with the fishes look but have too many bumblebees in the big tank and didn't want anyone selling it on because some of the fry ended up looking like this i have fed out them all in a closed systen like a tank sperm maybe able to circulate from stray males in the mix i tend to feel that some species and subspecies come from natural crosses that then go on to establish themselves i breed other species in seperate tanks
  9. nice raddfish are they a member of the caulifish fanily?
  10. basically take your pick and a few not in photo any pseudotropheus sp could make up the combination i am leaning to red shoulder x bumblebee or royal blue x bumblebee
  11. i have always found it harder to teach a bird to speak when it has another bird to listen to unless the other bird already talks IME
  12. hand reared means it is taken from the nest before pinfeather stage and fed by a human from that stage hand tame is when it is taken after leaving the nest (fledging) and trained so it is used to hands some species need removing before their eyes open to make them tame budgies can be taken up to 2 weeks after leaving the nest and trained, just make sure it is eating seed by itself any bird can be trained if you have the patience and thick skin there are a few auckland bird clubs who can put you onto a breeder
  13. that goes to show a good a talker budgies are
  14. you should thank your lucky stars she doesn't want a drum set
