For the first time ever, I am looking at getting a cage with horizontal bars on at least some of the sides. She is starting to struggle to get up the sides at times.

I think she is a beauty, too, and she is such a sweet little girl. jellybean, she is about a month off being eight years old, and she is my youngest. Her problems come from her chronic egg laying rather than are age related, but I have to confess that I did doubt at one stage that she would still be with me at this age. One leg is her biggest problem - she has very little control over it which makes getting around for her, especially landing after a flight. She does still fly but not out in the big room (doesn’t seem to want to come out), instead does a great impersonation of a hummingbird-hover.

Hezz is Mango a spangle? She is lovely. She looks a bit like Barney.

I like the way you have weaved the sisal in the bars, to help her to climb about

Hezz is Mango a spangle? She is lovely. She looks a bit like Barney. Yes, she most definitely is, both a spangle and lovely. I like the way you have weaved the sisal in the bars, to help her to climb about You have just given me a nudge to do another row in between both lots of horizontal bars. It is hard to get tight enough though so that it doesn’t slip too easily. I do see her using them now. Hezz, I didn't know Mango was the youngest! How old are Spyro and Misty? I got Misty in September ‘12, he was already about six months old, I think, so he’s around 9 and a half; Spyro came to me a few months after Mango and also was around six months old, so he is only slightly older than Mango, by my estimation. It’s all a bit guess work as none of the people really had much of an idea, except for Mango’s breeder. She was only four weeks old when I first saw her, and picked her up a couple of weeks later.

Oh, did you get Misty at the same time as Fluoro?
Misty is older than my oldest, George, who is approx 9 years 2 months. I estimated George at a year when he came to live with us, but who knows, he could be much older.
Blithe is next at 7 years 10 months, I am certain on his age, as Tatiana said he was 6 months when he came to us and I believe her, he was an energetic little thing that would try and jump on all the other budgies to befriend them.

I’m not familiar with your birds yet Hezz, apart from Loki 😄, so it’s lovely to see Mango. She’s such a gorgeous colour.
