So the "bird perch" in the picture is that your "annoying roommate"?? LOL

Yes want him ? BTW Figaro came from a Friend who Breeds her birds and they go for 900 - 1500 she is a Congo . timmeths have white stripe down the nose smaller and do not seem to talk as much . My friend who let me hatch the egg she came with LOL really did me a favor

No thank you have enough "bird perches" around here the way it is. Although he does sort of have the light brahma coloring/markings. LOL

Hey all I got the last test results back from my brahmas and have some bad news
for my half its probably going to be better in the long run for me but i do want anyone new to please look into this issue the last tests have been positive for Mycoplasma Galliseptcun < spelling ?

according too the Lab this is a type a Virus and to protect my African grey Parrot and to protect myself and other birds the best deal is to cull off all my birds the suggested i do this asap as it is a Very Bad Form of Upper Respatory Disease .


according to what i have read and been told there are other options but the birds will always be carriers ,. Using Baytril on my birds in the beginning for this the vet made it to where i should Never eat the eggs from my birds ., today i walked out to see one of my Tom turkeys with a Swollen Head around the eyes . there really is no Cure for this disease .

I will how ever disenfect the whole area as i had planned when i thought i had LT and no hope until i learned that for that and UR there is hope except for a few certain strains this being one of the worst and more dangerous for my african gray Parrot. she should nto have to have me take chances with her well being ,.

Now that being said i will get back into the Dark Brahmas when i am sure i have a safe enviorment for them again being more careful .

Part of this the biggest part is when i called the guy that sold me my origional birds telling me many times he has never had issues tell me now he treats his Birds 2 times a week and feeds Chick starter Ab to kill off the disease . to me this only Hides the symptoms , Tammy

so sad for you This is horrible news

So beautiful, where did you get them?

I got them here in California. I hatched them out. I will be selling eggs and chicks around December-January. I just love them!

To answer your previous question, the pullet in front looks like a Partridge Brahma, a.k.a. Gold Brahma. That particular variety isn't recognized by the APA. The cockerel in back looks more like a Salmon Faverolle. Does he have a single comb and beard? And welcome to BYC.
