Will be neat to see the colors of the chicks and the different shades of grey and if they have any blue chicks. Link to comment

My posts dont show my excitement so far, cause its my first really quality pairings and it makes me a little nervous to be quite honest. Its a tad different from throwing pet types all together in a colony situation and they just breed like happy little rabbits lol. Link to comment

I have been doing lots and lots of thinking about it and i think the most important thing is to have a number of pairs breeding at the same time to make sure there are plenty of foster parents available if any problems were to arise.

That’s a bit strange maybe it’s their first batch, anyway if those eggs fail hopefully they will go down again fast. The only thing I have found in the cabinets, especially I think with the show types is to watch carefully when the chicks leave the nest. I have had a few start chasing the chicks & had to remove them quick, some got picked in the head. Looks like a nice pair. Link to comment

She threw all her eggs out in the end, but they went down for a second clutch. She lays really big eggs! This clutch she has 4 eggs and this time she has a baby!!! I dont even care if none of the others hatch, if they can just bring up one baby I will be happy It was only hatched today, so I am still anxious about it's survival. I think you were right Norm, I think that was her first ever clutch. Fingers crossed for more babies Link to comment

She is a good girl and knows to pop out when I knock, but she has taken to yelling at me in protest, even though she still dutifully leaves the box for me to look at her babies lol Link to comment
Guest JoEl Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 (edited) hello sunny. Your pair is beautiful i wouldn't mind having them in my aviary. The cock looks to be a spangle dominant pied they are really good birds to have as they can produce spangles and dominant pieds so its a bonus. i myself have a spangle dominant pied hope the rest hatch for you as they will be big babies. regards Joel Edited September 6, 2008 by **Liv** Grammar Link to comment

He eats food like I've never seen a budgie put it away before to feed his babies and she is a super protective mum, bouncing out of the box when I knock to look in, but coming back in sometimes when Im still handling babies and grabbing hold of my finger!! I suspect I have 3 grey spangle babies, one has a yellow face. The thing that confuses me though, is that none of them look dom pied to me :mellow: Link to comment
