My Bourkes

[Rozalka]

"Better late than never"
Update from last few months:
Two other Bourkies survived A month after selling them I met their current owner and everything were ok
We still have a contact to owners of our first hatched Bourkes and this summer one of them also passed away My familly was thinking if maybe this year a lot of birds died here?
Recently I don't really have time for my fids. I am at home only on weekends Now here is Christmas holiday and I can be with them longer but on the 6th January I have to go to the capital city again

I'm testing uploading images on the new verson of the forum Today I took the closest photos of Rozalka ever

Gorgeous pics, of Rozalka!

I'm curious if I'm becoming being too childish - is it only to me that Bourkes' stepping looks like stepping in a cartoon?

What pretty pastel birds! I think you could get some beautiful Easter photos of them with decorated eggs.

Thank you

Today I finished quarantine for Rozalka and we wanted her to rejoin other bourkes... I hope it will work... So far no fight in the cage but it doesn't mean anything yet...

It's the first pic ever of an adult bourke on my hand

You be a good girl Rozalka, we want to see more of you, and the other sweet little Bourkies too!

Too bad I live across the pond, I would have loved to have one. They are beauties.

I've had them 4 years. The male is a half year shorter with us because we thought Fela was a male :smiley5:

Your baby birdie pictures are adorable! All your birdies are gorgeous of course but babies are sooo cute, just like any baby animals, right?

Poor Fela wants children again...

She laid them in the cage corner and was sitting on them few days. But I have too many reasons why I don't want more babies.

And poor Jaś... I think he got head damage. He flew and hit somewhere leaving a bit of blood under his cere. Also, he's shocked (or whatever it's called) - I wanted him to come back to the cage because I thought it's a safer place for the injured bird to not make it worse. Then I realized that he wasn't afraid of me, I could take him on my hands (I also looked if he's hurt somewhere else), he even didn't go into the cage when he could - he just stayed on my hands

I also searched Internet and everything looks like head damage. I'm not 100% sure if I did right putting him back to the cage with other Bourkes but I will see, maybe they won't do anything to him.

In the past my grandma helped a wild pigeon which was in the same situation - after about 2 hours it was alright and flew away

Oh Rozzy, I hope poor little Jaś will be ok!!

Oh Rozzy, I hope poor little Jaś will be ok!!

Don't worry, he's fine now

 

[LaManuka]

That's great news, Rozzy! Please give that little sweetie lots of lovin' from me, won't you? And plenty for the rest of your flock too

Woah, it's been 2 years since the last update.
Like 2 years ago, Fela still wants children... She laid eggs again and one of them broke and it stuck to her feathers
I tried to help her by making her belly wet and together we managed to get rid of the egg (I said together because she also was trying to get rid off it and I didn't want to pull her feathers, so I preferred her to do it on her own). At the beginning I thought that she lost a lot of feathers after that accident but hopefully it was just wet feathers showing her naked belly (now she looks better, however when she was preening, I could see that she actually lost feathers...)

Also, right now when I am writing this - Jaś is chasing Rozalka Like never, is it a revenge for how Rozalka was treating Jaś?
