This is the 3rd forum I've seen this this thread posted on on this board. On one of the other forum postings, Conure Man cautioned that this looks like a scam/virus address. I have no idea, but I wanted to pass on the information. Please be very careful responding to this guy.

Well, he might just be legit...

Where are you located?

Suggestions???

New cages. It's not good when a cage is covered in rust as it's health concern for the birds.

Do not place food and water on the bottom of the aviaries where-in it can get soiled by the birds droppings

Increase variety within their diet, that is, provide sprouted seeds, a variety of veggies, cooked grains & pulses, etc.

Provide a larger variety of perches. Provide more perches, period. Preferrably of the type of natural wood.

Here are some videos showing what some better planned aviaries look like
YouTube - Budgie aviary
YouTube - Budgerigars enjoying a shower from a spray bottle
YouTube - Budgies enjoying sun, water and dandelion leaves.


Keeping the aviaries clean is also very important. Do not let food or droppings build up.

Yeah, I would have no idea how to tell by looking if it is a scam or not. I just wanted to pass on the word of warning in case they missed it on the other post. It just struck me as odd that he was so adamant about not replying on the forum but to email him directly. I don't know though.

The aviaries in the videos are fantastic though!

The red flag here is the fact that he wants your response by email only. I personally would NOT respond via email.

They have replied..... elsewhere....

And from what I gather, this member is located in Lahore, Punjab Pakistan. It's a pretty different world there than it is in other countries, thus you can't necessarily expect good husbandry... =/

Photos posted are too large.

Yes, if a person posts to not post answers here then that is not good... isn't that what this forum is for is to post questions and answers for everyone to read? YES!

It's not my kind of set up from what I see in those photos, ways too hard to care for and clean up after. Although I know it can be a typical set-up for many people.

I think the cage set up sucks and the cages need a good cleaning
