Thanks you guys. I love this picture too. It just kind of happened when we were taking a photo shoot of him. Ever since he became a hand reared budgie he has become one of the most loving budgie ever. I am trying to keep regular updates coming. As I mentioned earlier, it was during one of these update shoots that this occurred. I was going for one of my close up shots and he d4ecided to yawn at just the right moment. So, keep a look out for more Turkey pics in the future. ~Melissa

Thanks everyone. That was Skyler first attempt at a bath and he kind of fell in. So, of course I couldn't help but snap some shots of him, and this one turned out perfect. Thanks and I'm glad that you like the picture and Skyler is as well.

Father is a normal sky blue dilute Mother is a Golden Face Dominant Pied. Mother is a Golden Face Dominant Pied. The coloring is definitely a grayish color.

Tassel is one of the babies that we have growing up right now but as of today he/she is our new angel baby. Dazie is doing awesome but this morning I went to check on them in the box and found tassel in a corner alone while all the others were together in another corner. I checked on him and he was not fed and cooler than he should have been so we have him set up in Turkey's first cage. Be ready to get updates on this little guy as well because if everything goes well he/she will end up staying with us as well. Any way here are some pictures from this morning. What a sweet face http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...526bubs0005.jpg Moderator’s Message this picture is oversized, turned to link Already loves to snuggle would you say gray wing or dilute I just like this picture Thats it until next time!!! ~Melissa

I believe that he is a yellow face type 2 (because his wings are yellow as well) clear wing cobalt or violet (I've heard both). Anyone with a more sure answer please post here.

Ready for another installment of turkey??!? Its been over a week since our last post and he has found another new love in his life beside me and my mother, the camera, now its a ball. You will see in the videos. Here are the pictures: Turkey and his ball... Funny Cheeks..... I am so Sweet.... What is that up there??!? la la la what a LONG tail!! and now for the videos: Turkey Ball so amazed by little things Camera Hog He does this every time the camera comes out. He is so in love with himself and the camera!!

That sounds like a great idea to me. It would be awesome to see what people come up with.

Name: Turkey Age: 6 weeks Description: Turkey is my heart and soul budgie. His mother neglected him and his 4 other siblings. He is the only one that survived. He is the second budgie that my mother and i hand raised and the first to survive the rearing process. Now that he is eating and drinking on his own he is my most tame budgie that I have ever owned. I can not believe that this journey is just beginning but I am looking forward to sharing my life with this little guy for the next 10-15 years!!!

Thanks!!! As of today he is 6 weeks and 4 days old

Well they are growing up and looking tremendous. Dazie and Skyler are doing an amazing job. So far I believe that we have 2 sky blue dilutes, a normal sky blue, a green baby (possibly a dilute), and an unknown. Here are some updated pics. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0015.jpg Squeak, the first born. http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0013.jpg Dilute looking tail http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0018.jpg What a sweet face!! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0024.jpg Tweeter, my second dilute http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0022.jpg Second born!! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0007.jpg Hoover, named because all he does is preen everything http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0011.jpg Such a sweet face http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0038.jpg Tassel, born on my graduation day!!! http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0040.jpg http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c254/mgr...515pets0039.jpg Yellow.....possibly dilute.
