Hi my name is peter.I am currently 14. I live in australia with my mum and dad who have been breeding IRN parrots for many years now. I joined this website to learn more about these birds. I also wanted to no how i can put a picture of my baby lutinos and baby blue as an avatar.can sum 1 plz help.[/b]

Well hey Fella:

Mind if I 'take you under my wing' hehe. 14 heh, you may the youngest here. You will probably teach us a thing or two.

We have alot of teenagers so I hope you make new friends through your learning process. Tons of Aussies too.

Your parents should be proud that all of you share this same interest. For most of us, only one person in the family has anything to do with the babies. I am proud of all of you, you sound like you have great parents.

Get you a cool avatar, save us to your favorites and please post pics of all of your babies, if you can!

This is how you set up your avatar:

How do I show an image below my username?
There may be two images below a username when viewing posts. The first is an image associated with your rank; generally these take the form of stars or blocks indicating how many posts you have made or your status on the forums. Below this may be a larger image known as an avatar; this is generally unique or personal to each user. It is up to the board administrator to enable avatars and they have a choice over the way in which avatars can be made available. If you are unable to use avatars then this is the decision of the board admin and you should ask them their reasons (we're sure they'll be good!)

This is how to post pictures in out 'Photo Forum'.

Can I post Images/Pictures?
Images can indeed be shown in your posts. However, there is no facility at present for uploading images directly to this board. Therefore you must link to an image stored on a publicly accessible web server, e.g. http://www.some-unknown-place.net/my-picture.gif. You cannot link to pictures stored on your own PC (unless it is a publicly accessible server) nor to images stored behind authentication mechanisms such as Hotmail or Yahoo mailboxes, password-protected sites, etc. To display the image use either the BBCode [img] tag or appropriate HTML (if allowed).
Keep in mind the image cannot be on your harddrive but on an online site such as photobucket.com. Photobucket is free. You put your pics on a page there, then paste the link to the pic. When the link is copy/pasted into the text box, the image appears, not the link.

Let me know if you are not following. Or if you need anything else. You can PM peeps on this board to.

hey, i keep on reading and reading ur reply but i still dont get it ,can u plz help. I Cant get how 2 get an avatar as my pic.

Your ISP should have given you space to upload pictures I think other people use photobucket. Either way your picture has to be uploaded to your own space on the web.

Then you can make it your avatar by typing the URL into the "offsite avatar" section under Profile.

:Mikaela: What she said... it MUST be on photobucket NOT your hardrive. Go to FAQ at the very top of the screen... it is all spelled out in detail.

woohoo . ive got it but my pic is so big. how doi make it smaller.plz help.

la la la I made my own photo bucket account just for you

copy this and put it in your photobucket



**FYI it's better to Sharpen a picture after you shrink it because when you shrink it, it becomes a little blurry. I always shrink it myself and never let a program automatically do it. Thats my photoshop tip for the day**

now is so small. should i stretch it on paint.

did you copy my picture to your hard drive and upload it in photobucket?

yes. y is that wrong.

no idea use this url for now http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c345/ ... chooky.jpg

did you copy and past it to paint?

What you should do is right click SAVE IMAGE AS and save it that way, then upload it and try again

Welcome to the board. ^^

I hopw you can get your avatar in order, lol. Mikaela posted a topic about avatars....

lol its gettin bigger everytime.

<-- Right Click your mouse here.. SAVE IMAGE AS .. it should come up with chooky.jpg save that and then upload it without changing it in photobucket.

Do you know what colour the parents were?

hahaha. Lol i finally got it.Thank you so much. Ur a dead set champion. Thankyou.

No bigger... it will cause members to have to scroll to read messages.

Actually Neokireina, your signature pic also makes users have to scroll side to side, so in your down time maybe you could resize it? Im sure all users would appreciate it.

My monitor is a HUGE flat screen and I still have to scroll.

Yea my baby chooky is a lutino hen. Her parents are a lutino cock and a green hen. All they can have is on the cock side a green/ino and on the hen side a lutino. She is a female because she has red eyes and has white toenails.This is exactly the same as lutinos ,albinos and creaminos. So this is how i know.

I don't have to scroll at all... what is your resolution set at, Mikaela?

**mumbles** just for you Mikaela, just for you :p

use this url for your avatar peter

Dont worry.Ur a worry bucket. I have my avatar. Its all gud ok. So stop worrying.

Thank you Punkin

*hugs you around the neck*

1024x768... where it should be.

for a min there I thought you were going to say something silly like 800x600
I run at 1280x1024 on a 19" monitor but then I'm a little geeky... just a little..

Mine is the 17inch flat screen Dell.

we have the 17 flat too, lol.

But I feel like I'm spamming. ANy chance we can delete these "chatty" posts? This isn't even our own topic.

peeps looking for info don't like to read through a lot of meaningless chatter. o_0

Then shhhhh (Mikaela)

I needed the larger screen and resolution because when I do 3d work the screen splits into 4 and they sooo tiny.. i'm only half geek I swear... If I was a full geek I wouldnt have dropped out of uni
