It's a silly photo..........budgie baby having a stretch....but I like it :ausb: nerwen051x.jpg

 

Not silly at all! When I first saw it I saw what is meant by "gossamer wings"...they look so sheer and soft, like silk, and the outline of the tailfeathers underneath is just a wonder. I love how we can find beauty in the simple things if we but look.

you have been reading it? I wasn't sure you saw it since you didn't respond :P, I was thinking of little Bao and wondering if it was similar. Since Bao wasn't clipped and Merlin was.

I'm sorry, Lovey....I didnt respond cos I didnt know what advice to give. Full knowledge about wing feathers escapes me right now :P I will try and get photos of Bao's wings over the weekend. She has some flights but not all.

Baby 1 JULY279x.jpgJULY278x.jpgJULY277x.jpg

Baby 2 JULY276x.jpgJULY275x.jpg

Baby 3JULY273x.jpg

Baby One has mothers colour wings but yellow face and pale blue body. Baby 2 is yellowface cobalt (Type 1 or 2 ?) Baby 3 is same colouring as Misty I think.

 

GORGEOUS!!!! Those babies are just so cute!!

 

 

Oh and there's my little Buddha.. he's looking great!!! :P

Buddha is looking great too cheeta. He's very healthy and flying about. Confident and happy bird.

 

oh I just love little Bao!! :P

Little Bao is a real sweetie....but just a half size budgie....pintpot I call her sometimes. One day when she gets her flight feathers it would be nice to see her fly. :P

I ever wonder if babies can be hatched prematurely and still live like little Bao he looks so much younger then the other. Buddh is gorgeous and Crystal she fits her name so delicate looking and sweet.

 

The babies are gorgeous :hap:

I can't figure out what direction Kayas babies are heading for colour. This one seems yellow all over with cinnamon edges to its wings. JULY223x.jpg and maybe another in there like that too. :wub:JULY184x.jpg With Mum being cinnamon green ( from a cinnamon cobalt dad and green clearwing mother) and the father to these babies being a YF2 spangle.........? I dont know why we have a yellow baby here. Maybe we must wait for more feathers to see.

Bubbles can you show me Kaya and her partner again?? I was thinking Curry was the dad of these ones then realised he was with Laila and their bubs are only pink dots yet. (any news on Precious and Spot?)

 

:wub: Scooter and Bao.... where is my Zeus?

 

as to Misty's babies, I think all should be type 2 yellowfaces. And the oldest and youngest could be either greywings or full body clearwings which means dad (Chucky) has to be split for a dilute gene.

Precious and Spot have two babies so far. And Curry and laila now have three. Ciara and Tiki have 7

babies !! Here is Kaya taken a couple of weeks ago JULY009x.jpg and Sonny , Kayas other half ( old photo...he is the one in the middle )

AFEB033.jpg

Having just checked nestboxes, I find Swift has 3 babies and one is an ino. Interesting result from Misty and Chucky...the dilutes...so pretty. And Kaya and Sonny's are a mystery.

Zeuss is Beautiful !! JULY170x.jpg

Harley and Rose have 4 eggs

thanks for that Karen, and YAY or Rose and Harley :wub: I'm glad you gave them a box (Laughing out loud).

 

Looking at Sonny and Kaya I wonder if you are getting a cinnamon Spangle baby there.

Thankyou for your visit Cheeta earlier today. Cheeta believes the eldest baby of kaya is a cinnamon spangle as it appears to be developing. This afternoon is showing the emergence of some pale green feathers also on the body. Baby appears to be opaline. One other baby looking same.

Sad new today of Bao's passing due to storm and rain and drowning in a puddle.....very upsetting. :D

Brighter news is Casper has two new babies with his new "wife" after he suffered for the longest time after Spook passed away. If a budgie can grieve the loss of a partner, then that is exactly what Casper did. I thought we would lose him....he gave up on everything till he saw "her".......she looks a lot like Spook but different. Now they have a new family :)

Ciara is a shock as she now has 7 babies to Tiki...should name Tiki "the stud" :wub: He has fathered 7 babies in that nest and 3 in another. Not bad for an ordinary little YF2 spangle boy.

Other babies born today.....updates through the weekend.
