in the first pic.......Bo looks very untidy as she had just had a feed of spagetti. ;D I can also see a lump.......not sure if that really is a lump (never noticed one on her) or if it is just the way she was standing. But she did die suddenly a couple of months after that pic.

yes it does look like a lump hey. She will forever be in my heart, she was a very special girl. I honestly never noticed a lump and she was handled every day.

I wouldn't have Tracey, it doesn't bring them back, better that she rests in peace.

She is s female eclectus the males are green with an orange beak. I have had her since she was about 4 or 5 months old and she is almost 3 years now. She is an excellent talker, speaking in context fairly often too, but can be very "moody" since she has matured into an adult.

Quasi is a lutino IRN...............but Takoda is a 6 month old male (dna'd) Alexandrine, and Shrekie is almost 3 years old too and she is a female alexandrine. I hand raised Takoda from 4 and half weeks of age and he is "mummy's boy" ;D (as we speak he is snuggling on my shoulder under my hair). The alex's are much bigger than an IRN.......probably 2 or 3 times the size.

here is a pic of Takoda (Alex) and Quasi (IRN) just as a size comparison............this was taken about 2 or 3 weeks ago, so it is pretty recent and accurate in size difference.  |

oh i have found out that the too's must be so much cheaper here becuase even the petshops sell there hand reared babies for $200 and they over price everything!
you no how you said they only breed late in the year if they are kept inside does the routine go the same way or is it like tiels how they breed all the time when kept in doors.

Post by vankarhi on Feb 18, 2007 17:32:17 GMT 10
no I am pretty sure their breeding season is no different whether inside or outside. But our changing weather patterns might change things slightly.
