Hi everyone Well been a while and things have changed in my life with new birds etc.... Currently Mylo well she is the same, Pipi Nanday Conure she is doing well,my Avairy birds well I have downsized my Cockatiels to 4 (1 pair consisting of 3 ) and a single youngster.I had problems with them inbreeding so had to sadly let them go.(New owners) My Superb Pair just laid her first egg and Regent pair has 2 eggs,Princess parrot pair still courting Rainbow Lorikeet pair doing well breeding, thou not sitting..... My new additions are Canaries (1 pair with a fledged youngster)and Long tail Finches ( 1 pair ) and Quails 3 sitting on 6 eggs also. I have a Green Cheeked Conure also, which was a rescue and now has a new home at my place. I have been heavily involved now with going outdoor's cataloging and Photographing Melbournes Wildlife and doing some part time rescue's with Birds and recently a Possum who has made resident in the backyard tree which l build a home for him. Off to Healsville this Saturday to hand in a rescue Kingfisher for example. That just about covers it l think,l will add photo's in the appropriate section's in time.Oh! Robert, your link's are very helpful also Cheers Greg and Mylo

Welcome back Greg. Well lots have been happening at your place by the sound of it. Lots have happened here too ;D
As you know Skye had a baby boy and I raised him due to her plucking him and initially not feeding him properly. She has another one now and I suspected she might not be getting fed properly but the last 2 days her crop seems a lot fuller than Eriks ever was at the same age.......so maybe they are getting it together at last.
I am feeding Shrekies bubs too. All dna'd girls ;D and doing quite well.
Oh I have gone back to Tae Kwon Do too..........did I tell anyone here that??? ;D My little boy has wanted to go to Tae Kwon Do since he was about 3......so I took him 2 weeks ago and he loves it. So I thought "what the heck if I am going to sit here and watch I might as well get back into it" lol ;D My instructor was wrapped ............ but I do need to remember how to do the patterns and some other techniques.....but I am sure in a couple of months I will be almost back to my "awesome self" lol ;D
So a big "welcome" back Greg ;D

Hey Greg ;D back! Wow you have got those parrots going well I can't say the same for my Superbs and I took until April to find a Regent hen who is too young for me to give them a box. Princesses likewise not interested I can't wait to see if you get bubs that'd be great! I'm glad you're back too

Thank's Jane Won't be leaving in a hurry either. I will let you/everyone know as soon as any progress happens with the Superb's or Regents for this is my first time they have had eggs in my avairy Those Princess's,l am thinking instead of the traditional straight/ L shape nestbox, l might try a 45 degree angle box instead.

Greg has been a member here for a while now..........but was away for a while. Some of us also know him from other forums. I met Greg probably about 4 years ago originally I think (internet only) ...... although he probably doesn't remember me from there as I wasn't on that forum for long.
Oh and Greg........I am a 1st Dan ;D just haven't trained for about 13 years.......but it is coming back to me now. lol I figured if I have to watch Caillean doing it and I will be wanting to do it too.........I might as well bite the bullet and the embarressment of being a black belt that needs to do a refresher course. lol
I intend to be "awesome" again real soon ;D

Thank's Tracey yep we have known each other for a long......................time .. Tracey has been a good friend via internet , reason with us being friends,me joining again..he.. Dan 1 " l'm in trouble with you " have to fall again..lol.. .it's a hard.. but fun sport also very good to watch ...those leg moves take time.. the half round kick is great for starters to practice Thank's Silvercloud good to hear from you ..since l started doing wildlife rescue's... yep it is soooo rewarding watching and feeding attitudes of wildlife,going from bad to good and unfortunately in alot of case's bad....but as long as they turn out good that is what matters... Most of all face's changing when they are down........ to seeing them back to normal again is what is great to see
