They are a lovely rich colour... congratulations and they sound like they are doing a good job of teaching to all things Kakariki hope you continue to enjoy them _________________ May........ http://littlebirdhouse4mysoul.blogspot.com/ https://twitter.com/#!/OscarGarland Back to top pabloc Joined: Sep 26, 2007 Posts: 988 Posted: Fri Sep 09, 2011 3:11 pm    Post subject: to the forum gunnsa!!! Quote: Breakfast shall be served a few seconds before I open my eyes in the mornings. if those 2 birds are hybrids at all, they are very marginal, they look like good specimens to me at first sight if they are 2 males it's not a problem, they will socialize and bond why the hell shopkeepers and other characters that run animal business don't have a clue, and to make things worse... tell misleading lies to their customers? that's really annoying _________________ AD ASTRA PER ASPERA http://kakariki2009.skyrock.com/ http://cyanoramphus.weebly.com/index.html Back to top May Joined: Apr 03, 2008 Posts: 281 Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2011 12:20 am    Post subject: pabloc wrote: why the hell shopkeepers and other characters that run animal business don't have a clue, and to make things worse... tell misleading lies to their customers? that's really annoying i agree totally its no wonder people make mistakes....and there are so many hybreds around you tend to trust advice given to you by so called profecinals _________________ May........ http://littlebirdhouse4mysoul.blogspot.com/ https://twitter.com/#!/OscarGarland Back to top pabloc Joined: Sep 26, 2007 Posts: 988 Posted: Sat Sep 10, 2011 1:19 am    Post subject: and then... incorrect advice on kakariki could be acceptable/forgivable, as they are not very common birds, but when you see aviaries and cages in so-called professional businesses full of hybrid lovebirds... then you feel like giving up hope. Thank god internet and websites like kakariki.net, and other forums where doing the right thing goes above all. Same as this new trend of selling 20day old chicks to hand feed... sad... really sad, and some breeders saw a quick business there... money + more clutches in less time... JACKPOT then you see people screaming for help in forums because the little cockatiel/lovebird doesn't eat, it's lethargic, etc... At least in a French cockatiel forum have been very aggressive with this practice... place and ad or hint about selling un-weaned chicks and you get banned. Ok... enough off-topic. Sorry!
