Always happy to hear about a successful Budgie rescue! If you have more details about how it was accomplished, I'd love to hear the story.
Interesting photo of the RWBB with the possible tick. Does this mean we should start worrying about ticks in Toronto? UGH!
Just a little tip for you about photos. If you are happy simply posting the links to your photos, that's completely fine by me! If however you would like them to be displayed here, and because I see that you are using Flickr, you can follow these easy peasy steps:
1. Open your photo in Flickr
2. Click the "share" arrow button in the lower right corner and copy the provided link for the BBCode (not HTML); I find that the medium 800 x 533 size displays well here.
3. Write your post here on the forums and simply "paste" the link from your photo. No need to use any of the "Img" or "URL" tabs.
4. Click the "Preview" button to see your photo. If you're happy, submit!
p.s. You can also use this method if you post to ebird, however they require the "HTML" code instead.
Since I am personally unfamiliar with the many other photo sharing sites, I can't provide specific instructions for them. However, I suspect that they will have similar features and you should be able to find the appropriate BBCode for use here.
