Can I ask you, how do you know so much about budgies? What is your background? Stace Hi Stacey, nothing extraordinary. A little longer practise, a real interest and above all I read everything about them . I remember the time (about 20 years ago) - it was very difficult to collect any info about this lovely hobby. Still is Ales . Books are still seldom sold about budgies. And some information on the internet can be false, and you have to judge for yourself if it's correct. I think with forums like theses though the information out their is getting slowly better .

I think with forums like theses though the information out their is getting slowly better . You are right Ryan. I see some books about budgies from time to time. They are mostly too general, though. The old forum has become good source of information for many people in almost 6 years of its existence. If you are not sure whether or not something is correct try to verify the info (compare it with info from another source). For example I remember Tacey informed us about a healing ointment which she used for bumble foot treatment with success. I forgot to make a note of the ointment's name that time. . Now we cannot find the name because all data from the old forum is lost. Now we all here have to start from the very beginning

Long before I joined this forum (the old one I mean), I found your budgie cookery book section on your site. It was great info for a keen beginner. I was wanting to find out about wild grasses and plants I could feed. Unfortunately there's a difference in what is available in Southern Hemisphere Australia and what you have in Europe. Eventually I found what we call Chickweed. It's really good for them, and they like it. Here's a picture. middlepath.com.au/plant/Chickweed_Stellaria-media_Caryophyllaceae.php

Tacey is a member of our new forum, so maybe that information is not lost. Do you want to PM her, Ales, or I can if you like? Ales, do you have precious snippets like that, that members can use, that you would be willing to share?

I sent you a private message, hope you received it, Ales Hi Sibylle, thanks for PM but I can't find it. I've only known how to write a PM but I do not see any icon for reading of PM:-[. I'll try to search the forum more for it.

Hi Marianne, Thank you very much. A part of the right side was out of a visible screen because I do not see very well and I use Ctrl +. Now everything is OK.
