I am SO jealous! I LOVE Majors! You lucky thing, you! ;D

What's another couple of birds, eh?

LOL

"norty, norty girl" (yes I know I spelt "naughty" wrong ) but she is just beautiful ;D

[megzly]

Hes such a lovely little baby too hes still a bit wary of us as he doesnt know who we are and where he is but hes settling in well so id give it a week before he wants to be out all the time like our girl. Our Girl hasnt met him yet but were going to the vet on tuesday so he'll have his full health check and in a couple of weeks well introduce them.

The breeders set up and birds were immaculate. i could not fault him on anything at all when it came to his birds (well except a wing clip that i dont like but then alot of people do them differently to what i do and feathers grow back) His major pair were lovely handraised birds, he only lets them breed once a year and takes the babies at 5 weeks for rearing so they get a good start to life. I would not hesitate to send anyone there for a hr major or for any of the other birds he has in fact. All the kids handled the birds and they are used to dogs, cats, household noises etc.

He was a bit sad to see one of his babies leaving as it was the first one sold outside of family. We will be keeping in contact with regular emails/photos and he will probably drop in when hes in the area to have a visit. (its a 4 hour drive!!)

Now we have to think of names. yay.

[Laraine]

How many birds do you have Megan?

[megzly]

I Shall do a quick count in my head so if i miss any out please forgive me haha.

8 red tailed blacks
2 white tailed black
2 yellow tailed blacks
4 major mitchells
8 corellas
5 Galahs
5 Sulphur cresteds
2 superbs
4 princesses
a fair few teils, lovies and budgies and a couple of kakarikis.

Now not all of them are permanant residents. the majority are ones that have come into the shelter. We only aim to keep a breeding pair or two of each species. Bloody noisy around here is all i can say

wow my birds or the amount pales in comparison.........oh well no matter lol I told hubby that I have decided that I might get a pair of macaws........we need to sell our place and buy that "acreage" ....... My aim is to have my alex's and ekkies and maybe a pair of quakers, I would like a pair of normal green cheeks (I think they are cute) maybe tiels and I think that will do me. (for now) Hubby just smiles at me .............. ;D

[megzly]

We have sold alot of birds lately due to us not seeing ourselves going on with them in the future. Lucky for us an eastern states buyer bought everything we had on offer so we were able to give him a good price and he was happy too.
We sold some gang gangs, alexandrines and indian ring necks and a few other species also
Laraine you have even more birdies than me lol!!!!

[Lewis]

You both have way mre birds then i do i have cleared out a few asell and sill trying to get rid of a few weeros and im starting a large peachface and another mask colony in my aviarys

[Laraine]

I have to get rid of some of the cockatiels. On the weekend I'm going to sort them out into the 5 pairs and sell the spare males as well as the babies. With the 3 babies (hopefully they will survive until they fledge) that will be about 8. I also have baby budgies coming through which I will be selling as well.
