April 22, 201014 yr Author You're sure Tommy is a boy GB ? Cos in most of the photos the cere looks whitish. How does it look from where you are ? had questioned this myself but im pretty sure hes a boy im not normally wrong but theirs always a small chance hes a gal but acts cockish and well i have rarely been wrong its very purpulish around nostrals you cant see very well i will get a good cere shot tomorrow and see what others think shall we here are few younger shots again see what you think remember this is age they tend to waver if you get sex at young age your normally correct rather than waiting till now on in when its always hard to tell but i sure hes a cock if not i have other nest with cocks so same age some younger im taming two other birds as well as houmans so hope i got their sex right i will take pics of the three tomorrow and we will do a vote tommy boy or tommy gal :hap: im confident hes a he though but could be wrong i guess
April 23, 201014 yr :hap: , hopefully his a boy because i dont know what to name him*EMPHASIS ON THE HIM* if he were a girl,but its okay eitherway,
April 24, 201014 yr :fear , hopefully his a boy because i dont know what to name him*EMPHASIS ON THE HIM* if he were a girl,but its okay eitherway, If he turns out to be a she, you can still call her Tommy, just perhaps change the spelling to Tommi? My niece has a female kitten called Tommi and if anyone asks why a boy's name, they just say it's short for Tomisena. You're certainly going to get a wonderful gift Houman!! I'm sure he/she will bring you heaps of joy and amusement for many years to come!!
April 28, 201014 yr Author so a quick update tommy is doing great and defenently the pick of the bunch he / she ??? well im lost now but either way will be a beautiful mate is in my poket sleeping has been almost all morn is crackng and eatting seed but still only just 4 weeks so hasnt got all feathers no cant fly as yet houman hope my com doesnt take long i have some great pics for you mate for on here and for yourself intence training from here on in tommy spends most time with me

April 28, 201014 yr :rofl: i hope you dont mine him being a visual violet i thought sky violet but seems to be visual dom pied but its full wing so it wont have the white flights or the band sorry but has the spot Spot that small makes him split recessive not dominant pied.
April 28, 201014 yr ... why does everything keep changing lol. first he was a boy now he might be a girl. then he was a sky violet then visual violet then back to sky violet. and now dominant pied now split recessive pied.

Can we have some clarification on dad too please. he doesnt even look dominant pied,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, :rofl:
April 28, 201014 yr Author dad is dom pied i can garen te my com gone i have no pics on my sons and i cant download anything to his com but dad is sky violet dom i was looking at chick and thinking spot seems to of reduced as hes feathered up but cant be rec pied unless its come from way way down line which we do know isnt imposable i will get pics of dad soon as i can get my com back and fixed it caught fire so its pretty stuffed yes in my pocket mate he / she loves it their spent two hours today with me but his spot started as big its reduced as hes grown he is dom pied spitting image to dad exept dad has one clear flight covered by other normal flights so cant see t and hes just got normal wings so i stick to my first enitial varierty sky violet dom pied full wings and yes pieds can have full wings although i have been told many times im wrong i know im not as i have breed quiet a few full winged pieds i remember trying to talk about it once before but was shut down by other more knolagable members so wont go their again but their in one the five pied categorizes anyways lets just enjoy his growing infact he may be a she also so lets just see what ends up all i know is its going to be tamed thats all that was wanted thats whats going to happen :rofl:
April 28, 201014 yr Author Could dad be a heavily marked clearFLIGHT pied? possable but the only true way to distinguish between a dom and clear flighted is that on the clear flight the cheek patches are always white or violet and white and continental dutch clear flight have may or may not have iris ring in both or some times in one eye legs are usually flesh pink or grey and flesh pink and to be honest so many people breed them thinking their doms or df doms the clearflight normally has a band around closser to under their mask as the dom mainily has a middle band as my boy shows no band or clear flights bar one and has iris rings in both eyes and violet cheek patches and as hes violet grey legs n feet im sticking to dom we could debate it for ever but its not a worry their not show breeding birds just my pet stock well dad anyway so im not bothered for now i will test breed him later for my own benifit and then when i figgure what he infact is i will let you know if anyone wants to know but other wize its not importaint unless i was sellng his chicks to a breeder but im not Edited April 28, 201014 yr by GenericBlue
