more photos of birds

Here is a web page I slapped together really quickly. Don't tell anyone at work - there is no design at all, just a bunch of photos!

I just added a couple audio and video clips to the page. If you click on them, be patient as they load. I don't have the right compression software at home to make the files smaller.

 

Great site and beautiful birds :y_the_best:

Captain Jack Sparrow reminds me of the canary I had when I was younger. I love the red factor canary's, I'll hopefully be getting a red factor in a few weeks.

 

Hi Jamiya thats cool how did you do it i have never been able to record and of my birds sounds and transfer them to a website.

Such lovely birds i like cages and aviaries with different species together it gives different colours and sounds.

Great pics, I love the one of the 'white-headed nun' hiding behind the leaves.
I was wondering what kinds of bushes, leaves, twigs etc are safe in a budgies cage, I know the small branches are good for their feet. I dont have them yet (the budgies) but Id like to get a good housing area ready for when I do get them, Im not worried about it 'looking' decorative for myself or anything but I'd like it to be interesting and confortable for them.

 

Here is a website that has a list of safe and none safe plants and things on, Its from a finch site but the same things are safe for budgies.

Hope this list helps you Delauk.

The plants in my bird cage are fake. I read that silk or plastic are best, and to make sure you don't put a pot in the cage that has that foam stuff they use for fake plants. The one the nuns are hiding in is just a long string of fake leaves and flowers held together by plastic links. I just twist-tied it to the bars on the top of the cage and let it hang down.

To get the sounds and video, I just video-taped with my camcorder and then plugged it in to my computer using a Firewire cable. I used Adobe Premiere to capture it because I have access to it through work, but you can capture and create basic video in Windows Movie Maker that comes standard with Windows (or iMovie if you happen to have a Mac). Final Cut is my favorite video software but I don't have a Mac at home and there is no Windows version.

Oh, and all of the photos were taken through the bars of the cage. I got better as time went on.
