Hello... I just joined today.. my name's Cheryl I'm 28 years old and I'm a birdy mummy to a pair of Pied Red Fronted Kakariki's (Widget and Joker aka Laughing Boy) they are approximately 2years old and she(Widget) is sitting on 5eggs they are really fun little birds to watch interacting with one another.  Well I found Birdline while I was looking into buying another bird.. and was interested in either a Conure or a Hahns Macaw will since I've stumbled across this page and seen all the birds in need of new homes I think I'd rather foster/adopt a bird in need than buy a cute little baby!

Thanks for the welcome

...I'm in Ipswich, Suffolk.. I'm about to become a paid up member!

Anyway this is my female Kakariki Widget its amazing how they can climb all over the bars even upsidedown in their cage without using their beaks proper little acrobats;



And this my little Laughing Boy enjoying his fruit!



I have hundreds of piccies of them! Anyway off to become a full member....

Thanks

I'm getting a little excited about my eggs... as they're due to start hatching middle to end of next week... and I'm off work for the easter week when most should hatch... little easter chickies well I already have a home for one of them a friend of a friend recently lost their Budgerigar so one will go with them and get lots of one on one attention... the rest (if they hatch) I'll probably keep and take the nest box down so mummy and daddy won't breed again as I know they can be very profilic and produce upto 4 clutches per year with upto 12 eggs in a clutch!  And they do love their baths... every morning without fail they're splashing around and flicking water everywhere... my other half has been drenched many a time when he's been near their cage hahaha!
