Well they have been in a breeding cabinet since the 27th which is only a week and they have 2 eggs Im getting a lot of "firsts" lately. They will be, of course, my first TCB pair. Link to comment

I'm not so keen on the Blue series, but will breed some anyway; so far I haven't succeeded, even though I paired my Yellows up with some Blue birds. I'm not sure what a Violet TCB would look like as my idea of the desired Blue series, is that the bird be as White as possible. So not sure if Darker series birds are the best or Lighter, maybe someone that knows, will let us know. They say the Yellow is best using a Lutino to get the correct colour, but even though TCB has a special connection with Lutino in that it dominates it, I like TCB to TCB as I think you get less wastage with Lutinos & I think if you select always for the better Yellow I can't see why that wouldn't work. I think it's a good sign that they went down so quick, sounds like they are good breeders, my TCB's seem to be the same, there's no mucking around they go down quicker than most pairs.

I was more partial to the blue series TCBs as I havent seen many, but I am becoming quite fond of the greens too. I was told the cock bird is a better colour also, which is a shame, cause I like the pretty green suffusion I always like the differences that are "unshow-worthy". Pictures of my blue pair of TCBs are here, Buddy and Holly http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/index....showtopic=20932. She is a bit on the small side. I think I will have to be patient and put their offspring with bigger normals or if I can find a nice albino cock in the meantime, maybe to build size. He isnt a bad size and I think he is beautiful, but once again, having a yellow face makes him not suitable for showing. Oh well Edited August 5, 2008 by Sunnie Link to comment

I think I will do a bit of both. I like yellow faced birds and I really love the markings on Holly and she's a tcb dom pied and there is no place for her type - which is why I got her from her breeder. Link to comment

But if you like them I would go ahead, but I don’t want Pied in my TCB’s or Spangles if I can help it, as if you get too much pied in them you loose the characteristic markings that I like, but that’s just my preference.

I saw the most beautiful Violet opaline spangle yellow face at the Young Bird Sheild it came about 12th in its class if I remember correctly, I also seem to remember that it was entered under the opaline class. I personally think the bird should have got Best In Show it was so beautiful. I know when birds fall into more than one class you put it in the class which appears first on the classifications when read from bottom to top.

You can show opaline spangles Norm. They are shown in the spangle class. If an opaline spangle has a whole lot more going for it than a normal spangle in that class the opaline spangle will win over a normal. Link to comment
