liette, refer to my post, the one before this. I editted something already. I doubt about mealworms as I didnt feed them any before.

Yes, cuttlebone is a must! It will help them get additional calcium and trim their beaks as well.

Well, for the tumbler, you dont know where they will be poop. Tumbler or not, change your water everyday.

LOL...Of course not hamster bottle loh. Will find you the pics.

Well, it depends. If the bird wanna drink from the water, then it is a water bowl. If they decided to play in it, then it is a bath tub. But I suspect the birds wont get into the water and play if it is placed on the floor as low ground means danger to budgies in the wild. Perhaps try somewhere higher? And make sure the bowl isnt too deep or else they can drown!

No offence, but I do think the cage would be a bit small for cockatiel. It seems like it can even fly a bit. A good cage would means it has space for the bird to flap its wing and do some flying. Nonetheless, it is a nice cage.

Better get a slightly bigger cage than the one in the picture. Budgie will feel stress if housed in a small cage.

wow!! That is a nice colour!!! I also have the spiral hope but it kind of detached from the nut. lol...

By the way, where do you place your cage?

wow! they are so lovely!! When will they be fully feathered?

so when will you be getting ur first birdie?

guess thats the normal price for cages nowadays. lucky i bought mine few years back. haha. and remember, you should get a long cage, not a tall one.

wow! what a attitude problem cockatiel! LOL... Maybe you should try ignore him so that he will behave better. Cause it seems he is controlling you. haha.

so envious you can get so close with your birdie. One of my budgies died few days back. I think it was fighting problem. One eye was gone, the cere was a bit bloody and the neck bone broken, making the whole head swing. Damn sad lor.

I dont even know if they were fighting. I wish it was fighting and not some cat problems. Cause last time I got a budgie which was severely injured by a cat until half of its wing was gone! He died later on. That was really horrible. The cats even rest on top of the bird cage.

sometimes my birds will scream very loudly to attract attention. I once pour water on the cat and it never come back for a long time. But after a few months, they tend to forgot their lessons. haha

haha. you good lah. got maid help you do things. she knows how to feed? make sure the crop is full. lol..

haha. when you free can tape down the process of feeding the babies? would be really interesting and educational.
