yes eyes their lovely birds,, thats the ones i was on about on the other post jimmy
What is his birdsong like? Good looking bird SMILEY
Jimmy, I'm colour blind but even I can see that,s a very red bird. Lovely pic, shame we can't here it sing, I'm sure its better at it than me.
I loved your tame wood pigeon from the other day also, its very rare to see a wild one that tame.
strangely enough my brother is colour blind, yet he breeds these canaries,,, but he can see reds and other certain colours,,
your obviously about the same as me at singing 
i.e, rubbish ha ha , but those birds can fairly sing.
yes my tame woody, off for the winter, wonder if ill see him next year, if so it'll be his 4th year
good to hear from you dall, when do we start this blf choir we would be singing alto - alto-gether out the door all the very best dall,,,jimmy
Lovely looking canary.
I used to breed show budgies when I was young. But I have been banned from keeping birds now 
morning offcut, i used to breed budgies too, not for exhibition, just for colour, i have bred all sorts of birds, i was very keen on racing pigeons [but i never beat them ] but have someone keeping them here, but no way can i enter the loft, i even wear a mask outside the loft,, but do miss them, like yourself,,,,,all the best off cut, away to get my porridge now,,, i slept in, carer slept in ,, forgot the clocks lol ,,jimmy
Great bird pic Jimmy - must admit I didn't know there were red canaries. Where does your wood-pigeon go every winter? Mine stay here through thick and thin - do some of them migrate? If you're "Oop North" maybe they just come further south? If so I'll look out for him!
aye, d, mum, lots of people think their dyed, but that is there colour, but i know my brother "colour feeds" them, this seems to make the colour more intense,but this one in the pic was not colour fed.
as far as "woody" goes, i really don't know!!, this place where i stay has a lot of fir trees, in the summer there are loads of nesting wood pigeons, but they have all disappeared now, yet i see loads in the fields etc.
you could well be right, some of them might have a little sense and move further "dan sath" or maybe even migrate, so if you see one with an orange plastic marker ring on,,, its woody give him a little feed and tell him i'm asking for him lol
i just keep wondering if ill get his company again in early march/april of next year [his 4th year] ,, i,ll just need to keep well,then wait and see ,, all the very best d, mum take care now,,,jimmy
How lovely.
Such wonderful condition. A true bird man.

Sam is a Blue. Fronted Amazon Parrot.........
We call him a budgie. Or. Big budgie as a rule when we are out.
Its a silly habit. But these birds are rather valuable these days.
I thought that .....budgiesmom was a good name for me !!!!

brilliant budgiesmum, what a great story, the blue fronted amazon are beautiful, with their big long tails,,,and big beaks and like all the parrot family live quite old,, they are very intelligent too, , its amazing how attached you get to them,, ,,,,long live sam ,,, jimmy
What a beautiful colour my mom used to have a budgie it lived for years
their lovely wee birds,budgies, very able to talk and become very tame, and live fairly long
when i was a lad "onamission".., we had a budgie and a dog, in the winter the dog used to push the living room door open, causing a draft, i remember my mother training the dog to "shut the door" every time he pushed it open my mother would lift his paws up against the door, and repeat "shut the door" then give the dog a tit-bit, eventually the dog was able to jump up and "shut the door" to order,, but we had forgot about the budgie she had repeated "shut that door" to the dog, that many times,,,,,,,,the budgie used to say "shut the door" true ,,,take care onamission,, jimmy
My Mom would look after this parrot it belonged to the lady a few doors away at the time we had a red setter dog and this parrot would bark just like our dog and it would call the dog by its name and the dog would go up to the cage.
The parrot would also say a few more words I can't repeat on this site it was so funny to hear this parrot swear.
their amazing birds, mines had a few choice words as well,,,[off course he never learned them from me?? ha ha],,jimmy
No I bet he didn't Jimmy
im saying nowt till i see my lawyer take care now onadmission,kindest regards jimmy

Hi .. Sam is rather lovely and ha knows it. Although we often refer to him as a budgie. He is a blue fronted amazon parrot.
He has just gone through a bad moult and there were times picking up his feathers I wished he was a budgie.
Will find a pic two & post for you to see.

jimmyw123• in reply to
that was the same as "max" my african grey,, he used to greet me each morning, with a loud "good morning" i have a newspaper cutting of him ,where he chewed through my computer cables ,, and lived!! would love to see a pic. of sam,,,,
jimmy
Sam yells. Hello as soon as I enter the lounge in the morning.
He has never been that good at talking .....but he always lets us know what he wants.
Dare I admit that he is. House trained. The only things he leaves about
are feathers and seed husks near his cage.
He also has excellent table manners.
Better not say any more as you will all think I am barmy.
But I promise in a day or two a few photos.
