Lots of pics of my gorgeous new birds

Hi everybody,
well it's been all go go go at my place for the last couple of weeks.

I did a deal with a breeder through the local paper Quokka (Perth) for a package of birds and I am still amazed at the beautiful birds I got for such a great price.
Here they are:

First up is my new young Peachface Lovebird, "Peaches". I don't know the gender yet. Peaches is a very beautiful Olive mutation, as you can see from it's back.




Next is my new Java finch "Jack". He is my first finch, and I just love him, as he is a pretty gentle little fella with a sweet song.


Then, the ones I really wanted, my Bourke Parakeets. The male, "Aragorn" is a normal colour, while the hen, "Arwen", is a Rosa Bourke. These are so beautiful, and very gentle little birds.


I was also extremely fortunate as I had not been aware he had a pair of cockatiels as well, but he offered them to me cheaply and I could not resist when I saw them. The male is a cinnamon, and the hen is a whiteface pearl, absolutely beautiful. I hope these breed for me. He is called "Sunshine" and she is called, "Rain".


Last but not least in this deal, I got a lovely grey budgie, that I called "Lady Grey".


Oh, and yesterday I got a lovely male budgie as a mate for "Lady".
His name will be "Lord". He is lovely and I was told he is a pied spangle. I just love his bi-coloured cheek patches.


I knew the breeder and conditions so after giving them time, he has been introduced to Lady and they are getting on well.


So, there is all my lovely new birds, keeping me pretty busy now. But I just love them all. Maybe I will hear lots of pitter patters of baby feet when the breeding season takes off.

Cheers everyone, Shauna

Hi Silvercloud,
yes thankyou, I love them all so much and was so specially blessed to get Sunshine and Rain, the two weeros.

Rain is such a beautiful girl, and I am sure I'd not have got the so cheaply if the guy had known how special she was in colouring. But that is ok, he was happy and so was I, so that is what was needed by both of us, and it is all in the best interest of the birds too.

I can't wait to see if the weeros breed, as well as the Bourkes and my budgies too, since I got the nice boy to go with Lady Grey.

Life is full of much joy and expectation now.
I hope all is going well for you too, Silvercloud.

Cheers, Shauna
