  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. that goes to show a good a talker budgies are
  4. you should thank your lucky stars she doesn't want a drum set

    Hi there

    welcome to the forums
  6. lovebirds more bite for your buck a handreared lovebird makes a nice pet not given to talking much though budgies are good talkers so are cockatiels we do all 3 if your down this way
  7. blew the lightbulb in the computer room :oops: can't see to type

  9. i think you missed a letter of the alpjabet if not, it is not that sort of forum
  10. welcome to the forums bottlerocket can't help with your tank problem, sorry
  11. fungus and moulds etc are found in the same envirnment as frogs the fluffy one you describe is usually from no air movement try spraying it with water from a spray bottle and see what happens try covering it with mosses http://www.fungi.co.nz/
  12. heat and eat fish dinners?
  13. give it time to heal sam yes they can see each other
  14. a further 26 drops would be following the dose rate you've posted is hospital tank bare? as sudstrate rocks etc can take up water volume
  15. our old cat would kill any birds (sparrows etc) outside but wouldn't touch the birds inside we had a crimson rosella that flew out the door the cat caught it the next day, brought it inside and dropped it on the kitchen floor alive and not a mark on it cat got extra pats that day
  16. theory is good if you can factor in all variables and possibilities has the cat been informed he is not allowed through the open door or window
  17. it will fly anywhere until the guns come out then it may be a dead duck
  18. so full post would be trying to get a definitive answer on I.D. of some of these plecs must be nigh on impossible until you know the distinguishing features that set one from the other, teeth, scaling. buccal flaps, fin shapes, number of fin rays, colouration, patterning, adult size, clouration changes in fish during its development, potential stress colouration, locational varieties, variation in water quality, current vs filtration, and the very possibility that it made it to NZ as unidentified species and is therefore a good price for the importer, we are just conjecturing as to what it may be
  19. or confused thoroughly so
