Re: help with closed ring!!
Right down on the first joint. Scared the hell out of me as his foot was like a balloon and he could not move his toes. I was lucky enough to be able to keep twisting until it got high enough to cut it off, I'd say had I not noticed it until the next feed it would have swollen too much that I would ...

Re: help with closed ring!!
I wouldn't have taken it into my own hands unless I felt we were holding him etc in a way that wasnt going to hurt him. Had it been any tighter no I would not have done it myself.

Re: help with closed ring!!
No problem :) I was feeding echo his egg and biscuit snack, once finished I put him down on the lounge while I cleaned up. Looking over I saw him wabbling as he was walking, watched closer and realised he wasnt putting weight on his leg. I picked him up and looked at his foot and it was very swollen...

Re: what colour is my new babies mum??
This is why he has no idea of her true colouring. She had at least three owners prior to him and no body is able to tell him her history. This was an experimental breeding between the pair.

Re: what colour is my new babies mum??
He is getting some gorgeous colours!! I am guessing he will be much more blue looking than his mother though??? Those wing feathers are very blue, dam is very green in wings apart from flights.

Re: what colour is my new babies mum??
Going off that photo she is much more like the bird on the left, however I would say her body is an even more vibrant green. flight feathers are the same... the tail, however, she has much darker blue feathers mixed in there. But definitely ALOT more like the bird on the left.

Re: what colour is my new babies mum??
I am reading that DF turquoise is much greener in body than the turquoise blue? I can tell you that the dam is a very vibrant green. There is no blue tinge to her green areas, and in the blue areas, different shades of blue from very light to a navy blue.

At the moment bush fires surrounding their property (lovely Australia) so birds have been moved to safety at their in laws. They will get photos on the next few days for me. Other baby has broken feathers, baby blue with a tint of green. So a very light aqua.
