Hi everyone thought id introduce myself kinda im fairly new here i have noticed its not as busy here as it once was i have only found this forum in september anyways lol Im brooke im 24 and have just started breeding very small scale (only one pair lol) i have hand raised for many years for friends but since moving havnt had the chance my budgies are breeding for me now after perchesing them from diff places about 9 or so months ago i have my very forst baby who seems to be thriving sadly had one baby die as he was hatching out still 7 eggs to go not sure whats fertile and whats not as i didnt have a torch i can use and hen if very skittish but i do,do twice day checks on baby who has hatched anyways heres a couple photos hope they work First picture is mum sitting tightly on the eggs and baby is under there somewhere lol this is dad he is a very good father and this is baby day of hatch and day 5 today his eyes are starting to open also, its so awesome watching them grow from egg i do have another male but he is not a breeder yet he has just come of age but he is more a pet (for now lol) i dont have a photo of him on photo bucket yet only learning how to do all that stuff lol

Sorry after looking again the nose is off looks like a blue princess x with bourke

I know this topic is way old lol but just to clear things up this bird is a blue princess parrot

Hi thanks for the reply i used two different sources of light one being the sun and another being a flashlight couldnt see anything but black in the eyes but that makes sence about cere

Hoping my photos work I think I set them right lol :/ This is my dark green cinnamon Dom pied boy now the confusing part he has a colored flight feather his cere has never changed colour AND is eyes are pitch black no iris's ??? I'm lost lol he is also over 2 years old

I say male it's a recessive pied meaning males cere stay pink I say most def a male

Kaz did you end up test breeding him? What was the outcome if you did

Its a light green dom pied male recessive pieds don't get iris rings dom pieds do he's very pretty

Alla what did the baby turn out to be to me looks like a little male few years on now surely it would have become clear
