As some of you would know I went to an auction today. I came home with two birds. Unfortunately I couldn't stay for the whole auction. New Bird. Guess the Sex & genetic? I also came home with another one but the photos isn't the best. I'll have to get a better shot. Link to comment

No camera can give that blue to a bird unless it was there to start off with!! It's just not possible to turn black into blue just like the body colour flash or not flash.. How about a picture of him without the flash?!?! I'll be d***** if this guy isn't an opaline!!! Link to comment

Guest Laura Wine Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 (edited) Wow, what a beautiful bird! The colors are amazing. Male would be my guess. Am I seeing things, or does he have some sort of fringe around his feet? ****edit**** Okay, now I see he is stepping on a small feather Edited July 23, 2006 by Laura Wine Link to comment

Lol Any plans on who to pair him to later?? Oh yeah heaps of questions. Hope to see the other one soon. One more question... care to lend him to me lol You have me thinking... I am at work so i'll have to have a good look when I get home. I picked him because of the stance, shoulders and mask. (White fethering below the beak) He also is a bit of a show and likes to blow (Puff up his head feathers). He hasn't got a name... any ideas? I am pairing him to the other new bird which is a Grey Opaline. She is a tall bird with very good mask and spots. To Hath.. Coffee pot and tea pot. Ya know Daz, as much as I think you're right with the non opaline, I am still going to say that he is an opaline spangle!! No camera can give that blue to a bird unless it was there to start off with!! It's just not possible to turn black into blue just like the body colour flash or not flash.. How about a picture of him without the flash?!?! I'll be d***** if this guy isn't an opaline!!! Sure, I'll try to get another shot this afternoon, i'll see how I go. What a beautiful bird. How much was he Daz? He was a good price $70.00au. nice bird daz i have on very similar Thanks Hath I have a chance to get some spangle hens off a club member so might try next season for a double factor spangle.

Interesting Ash is a Cinnamon Grey (sf) The new hen is an Opaline Grey (sf) Offspring would be Males Greys (sf), Greens and Greys (df) all split to Cinnamon and Opaline Females Cinnamon Green, Cinnamon Grey (sf) and Cinnamon Grey (df) I need to look up Grey Double Factor as I haven't seen one before. :ausb: Edited July 25, 2006 by daz Link to comment

No I don't like the idea of a double factor Grey. I wont be pairing the two up. Yes they are a bit like a violet. Once in your flock they can cause some fun with the colours. :ausb: Got your message and love the name... Apollo it is. I got them from a member last night at the meeting. I have some chicks in the nursary. Skyblue greywings from Karen's Dominent Pied. It turns out that my first Cobalt, Bluey, is split to greywing. I have males and females. I'll put a cuppa on if you want to see them. Link to comment
