budgies mate as part of recreational budgie sex...but it doesnt always lead to eggs unless they feel they have a place to raise a family

has faint iris rings and cere colour so could be 5-6 months ....and isnt a rainbow variety

Would like you all to welcome tasbreeder to the position of admin to help out around here ..... tasbreeder is very knowledgable and a show budgie breeder and will have a lot to give .....

budgie breeder or premium blend which you can get from city barn near you in malaga might be the go

Yes seems to be a male

Separated out of the other topic...please remember to make your own topics not in amongst someone elses

OLD topic Trefto and the original poster may no longer be around ....but your post is also relevant

Dad is no way a clearflight pied. He is a goldenface most likely SF gf cobalt and also appears to be greywing as already stated and opaline . mum could be hiding anything under her albino white coat of little surprises an ino can hide anything so your statement isnt correct. . An ino hen we had breeding recently produced ALL GREY OPALINE DOMINANT PIEDS when paired with a blue split ino cock.....this proved that under her "little white coat of surprises " she was in fact a DF grey opaline DF dom pied.................so what an ino hen contributes can be anything under the sun .......because you cant see what she is carrying or masking Baby appears to be a yf or gf blue dilute

Boy

LJ your dom pied must be a dom pied spangle ....you can only get a df spangle from TWO spangle parents colony breeding or cabinet breeding ? post piks of the parents okay I'm confused KAZ abt why a bird cannot be split to spangle. I have just had a nest fledge with 3 X light green spangle 2 x YF T1, Violet normal Cock is OIlive Violet opaline / spangle? Hen is Df Yf presenting as sky Normal /? According to what you say here KAZ this is not possible YET HERE IT IS. I'm confused The only thing I can think of is that cock may be masking Sp somehow Ill start a new thread for this I say again..............you cannot have spangle masked, hidden or split for. Its a DOMINANT gene ....one is either spangle or it isnt ...it can be carried. It can be hidden only in albino, lutino, yf albino, and df spangles ...... half the issues are mis identification of the parent birds, OR colony breeding, or hen retaining sperm form another mating post piks of the parents

The parents don't have to be both spangles. The male can be split spangle, as I get df spangles out of this combination. Dominated Pied Cock + Spangle Hen = So I guess my cock bird is split spangle. Incorrect.........as spangle is a dominant gene no budgie can be split spangle your girl has whats called scissorbeak...she would have hatched with this deformity .......her beak will continue to grow wrong as neither top of bottom beak works with each other in the usual way to shape it and keep it in trim....you will need to constantly trim it back for her to eat properly

definitely female

it wont stay on as the hole you have made is too big ..........photo of what you have done will help with advice
