I missed it too I'm glad it's not just me Sue. I have just tried to go to OP's blog, but my internet security won't let me, because of 'risky behaviours'. What's that all about OP? Hoping to catch up on your blog soon. I have had a quick search on the forum to see if I have missed a thread about OP having Edward, but couldn't find one???

Woah there. Sorry I may have given the wrong impression. No I haven't got Edward here with me (yet, hopefully not long now). I should probably have said that if I adopt her. I was getting ahead of myself.

I don't know what the 'risky behaviours' are about Shirls. I will check it out though. There shouldn't be any as it is all on my PC.

I've just checked the logs and can't find anything untoward. If you can get anymore info on what has been found it may help. PM me then we don't hog the thread.

I started with one OP and then I adopted Joy (now Joe 'cos he's a boy), which then led to me buying 4 more, one died (I think the storm scared George and he flew into the flight wall) which then led to me buying another 4, so I'm at 9 now I have Tom and Mildred in the breeding cage showing good signs (still no blinky eggs though!)so here's hoping that 9 become even more in the not too distant future. That'll mean building a juvenile flight, which I will then have to fill with even more young'uns, and yes I am thinking of a full revamp in the bird shed inc. more breeding cages...... Quarantine is essential, however you can only work with the space that you have. I cannot have birds in the house now because of the father-in-law's lung illness, so they can only go in the bird shed, albeit as far away as possible from the others. It's still not ideal but we can only do so much. I also strongly believe in seeing the bird's appearance and overall behaviour, both of which can tell a great deal. If it were lethargic and not eating/drinking, wings dropped, messy pooh etc etc, then full quarantine would be at the forefront of my mind, however this could also just be stress from moving/transportation, so by leaving if for a day or two in it's own cage in a separate room (within earshot of your others) should tell you more. If the bird looks healthy, bright, eating/drinking and full of movement from the off, I think the odds are more in your favour, but alas there is still a chance....... It is a personal decision, but knowing the background of the bird so far as good reputable BS breeder or someone who has had the bird for some time, IMO goes a long way in deciding quarantine times/limits. In this case personally I would leave for a couple of days in the next room and observe. I do hope you can adopt Edward, because two is simply not enough buds!! Daz

I too got the warning @op, this is the message. Whoa! Are you sure you want to go there? get-educated.stufftoread.com/wordpress/ may be risky to visit. Why were you redirected to this page? When we visited this site, we found it exhibited one or more risky behaviors.

Thank you danzandloz your words are taken on board. You have read my mind on the subject. Thank you starlingqueen, your pos has helped me in the quest for hunting risky behaviours. I think I know what that is all about now. I'll correct it as soon as I can.
