💔🕊️ SOME SAD NEWS… FLY HIGH, FIGGY 🕊️💔

Unfortunately, I've got some really sad news to share with you all. Our lovely cockatiel, Figgy, has passed away. 💔

Yesterday, as soon as I got home from my spa break, I headed straight outside to check on the birds. While collecting the quail eggs, I found Figgy behind one of the quail hides. Sadly, she'd already passed away, having suffered a prolapse.

For those of you who didn't know Figgy, she originally came to us as a rescue and wasn't in particularly good condition when we acquired her. We had absolutely no history on her, so her age, previous health and circumstances were all a mystery. What we did know was that she was silly tame from the very beginning! She absolutely loved human company, and I always suspected she'd been hand reared because of how comfortable she was around people.

We had no intentions of breeding Figgy, but unfortunately, she had other ideas! 🙈 She would lay eggs absolutely everywhere in the flight and even attempted to raise babies in the most ridiculous places. On numerous occasions, I had to step in and take responsibility for her babies because not only were they unsafe, but she also had a tendency to pluck them. Bless her, she certainly had the enthusiasm for motherhood, just not necessarily the skills to go with it!

Thankfully, her unwanted laying had stopped quite some time ago. Our flight area follows a natural light cycle, so once the sun goes down, the birds are in darkness, even if the birdroom lights are still on. As the days get shorter, this naturally helps discourage reproductive behaviour, and we'd had a good period without any further problems from Figgy.

That's partly why finding her yesterday came as such a shock. Although prolapses can be associated with reproductive issues, I can't say for certain what caused hers, especially given her unknown age and health history.

I'm absolutely gutted, particularly knowing this happened while I was away. I can't say whether being home would have changed anything, but I would have liked the chance to try and help her.

Figgy was such a sweet, affectionate little bird with a personality much bigger than herself. She certainly kept me busy with her questionable nesting decisions, but she was a much loved member of our feathered family, and I'm going to miss her terribly.

Sleep tight, beautiful girl. I'm so sorry I wasn't there for you. 💛🌈

🕊️ Fly high, Figgy.

🐦💊 MOXIDECTIN SUPPLIER UPDATE 💊🐦

I’ve had quite a few people ask me recently where they can get Moxidectin from now that Hyperdrug have stopped selling it, so I thought I’d pop this up for anyone else who has been searching.

Moxidectin 0.1% can be purchased from Meditech UK, who sell it in 100ml bottles. ❤️ Meditech list it for the treatment of roundworm, hairworm, mites and lice in cage and aviary birds.

Here at GWA, parasite control forms part of my routine preventative husbandry. I would much rather manage parasite risk proactively and reduce the chance of an infestation becoming established than wait until I have birds showing obvious signs that something is wrong.

The tricky thing with parasites is that they can all look very different. Roundworms can cause weight loss, poor body condition, weakness and lethargy, and a heavy infestation can even cause an intestinal blockage. Hairworms, or Capillaria, can also cause weight loss, reduced appetite, weakness and diarrhoea, while some infections can cause regurgitation or difficulty swallowing.

Mites are a whole different story because there are several types. Scaly face and leg mites can cause the familiar white, porous or crusty appearance around the cere, beak and face, and sometimes the legs. If allowed to become severe, they can even cause deformity. Red mites behave very differently and can cause irritation and restlessness, particularly at night, while heavier infestations can lead to weakness and anaemia.

Then we have lice, which can cause irritation and feather damage, and sometimes the lice themselves or their eggs can actually be seen amongst the feathers.

This is exactly why I don’t like relying on waiting for symptoms before thinking about parasite control. Birds are incredibly good at hiding when something is wrong, some infestations can be subtle in the beginning, and many of the signs parasites cause can also look very similar to other illnesses. By the time something becomes glaringly obvious, you may already have a much bigger problem on your hands.

Of course, parasite control is only one part of good husbandry. Quarantine, cleanliness, regularly checking your birds, keeping an eye on body condition and knowing what is normal for your own flock are all just as important. Unfortunately there is no magical bottle that gets us out of cleaning the aviary. 😂

So, for everyone who has messaged me wondering where to get Moxidectin since Hyperdrug stopped selling it, Meditech is the place to look. Hopefully that saves a few of you the internet treasure hunt! 🐦❤️

As always, make sure you are purchasing the correct 0.1% formulation and follow the directions supplied with the product you are using.

🧖‍♀️💛 SPA BREAK, TAKE TWO… WISH ME LUCK! 💛🧖‍♀️

Well, here we go again! 😂

If all has gone to plan, I should currently be enjoying a lovely bit of peace and quiet, being thoroughly pampered and making the most of some much needed time away. Yes, I've escaped the birdroom again, and hopefully this time I'll actually get to finish my spa break! 🤣

Some of you might remember that I was supposed to have a lovely little getaway last month as a very belated birthday treat. Unfortunately, things took a rather unexpected turn when Dex became seriously unwell and was rushed into emergency spinal surgery for cauda equina syndrome. Naturally, my plans went straight out of the window, and it was quite a frightening experience for us all. ❤️

Thankfully, things have settled down enough for me to give it another go, so I'm away for two days and one night, from today, 20th October, until tomorrow, 21st October! 🥰

I must admit, I'm rather looking forward to having a couple of days where my biggest decisions involve which spa treatment to have, what to eat and whether I can justify another little snooze. Compared to my usual routine of looking after the family, cleaning up after hundreds of feathered hooligans and juggling everything else life throws at me, I think I might just about manage! 😂

Dex will be holding down the fort while I'm away, looking after the birds, the house and the children, so everything is in good hands. He's more than capable of keeping everything running smoothly, which means I can head off knowing everyone is happy and well looked after. Although I'm sure the budgies will still have plenty to say about the temporary change in management! 🐦❤️

Of course, I know myself well enough to realise that completely switching off is probably wishful thinking. I'll likely still be wondering what the budgies are getting up to, whether everyone's behaving themselves and what jobs I'll need to tackle when I get home. It's difficult to break the habit when you're so used to being constantly on the go!

💌 A LITTLE NOTE ABOUT MESSAGES & ENQUIRIES

I'll still have my phone with me and will respond to messages wherever I can, so please don't worry if you're waiting to hear back from me. Replies might just be a little slower than usual while I'm enjoying my treatments.

If there's a genuine emergency that needs my attention, you can contact me directly on my mobile number. Anything that isn't urgent will be picked up as soon as I'm able to.

I absolutely adore what I do, and I wouldn't swap my little feathered chaos for anything, but I think we all deserve the occasional opportunity to put our feet up without feeling guilty about it. I'm usually the one making sure everyone else is happy, comfortable and has everything they need, so it'll be rather lovely to have somebody fussing over me for a change! 💛

So, fingers crossed for a lovely, uneventful little getaway this time. After last month's experience, I'm hoping the most dramatic thing that happens is me falling asleep during a massage and embarrassing myself with a particularly impressive snore! 😂🤞

See you all when I'm back, hopefully feeling refreshed and ready to tackle whatever mischief my little feathered troublemakers have planned for me! 🐦❤️

Lots of love,
Savannah 💛

Golden Wings Aviaries 💛 Word of the Day – Stretch

Stretch… we’ve all seen that funny little budgie pose where one wing goes right back, one leg stretches out behind them and for a second they look like they’re attempting budgie yoga 😂🐦💛

Stretching is a natural part of a budgie’s day. You’ll often see them do it after they’ve been resting or sitting in the same position for a while, and sometimes before they become active again. It helps get their muscles and joints moving again after a period of rest.

One of the most recognisable stretches is when they extend a wing and the leg on the same side of their body at the same time. They may hold it there briefly, tuck everything back in and then repeat the whole performance on the other side. You might also see both wings lifted or extended together during a bigger stretch.

Every budgie has their own little routine too. Some have a quick stretch and carry on with their day, while others really commit to it with the wing, the leg, the tail and a good fluff afterwards 😂 Once you start noticing it, you’ll probably realise just how often they do it.

A normal stretch is usually brief and relaxed. If your budgie keeps holding a wing or leg strangely, has a drooping wing, avoids using one leg or seems uncomfortable, that’s different and worth paying attention to.

So next time you see that dramatic wing and leg appear behind them, you’ll know exactly what they’re up to… just having a good old stretch before carrying on with the very important business of being a budgie 😂🐦💛

Does yours do the full wing and leg stretch, or have you got one that likes to add their own little flourish to it?

🐣📸 GOLDEN WINGS AVIARIES BABY PHOTO DROP! 📸🐣

Well, I think it's about time I flooded your newsfeeds with some baby budgie spam, don't you?! 😍🐦

I've been a little busy behind the scenes here at Golden Wings Aviaries, and with so many beautiful babies making their appearances over the past few weeks, I thought it would be lovely to put together a little photo drop and show you some of the gorgeous little faces I've had the pleasure of breeding recently! 💛

There's been an absolutely beautiful mixture of colours, mutations and personalities coming through the nursery, and I can honestly say that even after all these years of breeding, I still get just as excited watching each little one develop. From the tiny, rather questionable looking dinosaurs that first emerge from their eggs to the fully feathered little beauties they eventually become, it's a transformation that never gets old. 🥹

And of course, it wouldn't be Golden Wings Aviaries without a few particularly cheeky characters thrown into the mix! Some are absolute sweethearts, some have already perfected the art of giving me the side eye, and others seem convinced that whatever I'm doing in the birdroom must involve them personally. 😂

One of my favourite things about breeding is seeing the genetics of each pairing come together. Even when you know what mutations to expect, there's something so special about watching those first feathers come through and seeing each baby's individual appearance develop.

So, grab yourself a cuppa, have a little scroll through the photos and enjoy some of the gorgeous babies that have been brightening up my birdroom recently! 📸💕

I'd love to know which little face catches your eye the most! And don't forget to leave some love for these little feathered supermodels, because I'm fairly certain a few of them already know just how beautiful they are! 🤭💛
