They're very pretty. I think Milo may be a yellowface opaline grey.

violet opaline male and a yellow recessive pied opaline female By yellow do you mean yellowface or green? a picture would help if you're not sure. If she's green, then babies would be green unless she is split for yellowface or blue. Since both parents would be opaline.. that means all the babies would be opaline. They could get one violet factor from the dad.. and they would all be split for recessive pied (if the father is split for recessive pied, then you could get some) dominant pied girl and a dark yellow face type II male half of the babies could be dominant pied if she is single factor.. all of the babies would be dominant pied if she is double factor. half of the babies could be yellowface if he is single factor.. all of the babies would be yellowface if he is double factor. What do you mean by "dark", if he is mauve the babies will get at least one dark factor -- could get 2 if the mother has any.

He's cute :dbb1:.. but doesn't look trustworthy.

He's cute.. His coloring reminds me of salt water taffy.. so Taffy would be my suggestion.

I saw your earlier post of Chicken.. and I wondered if she may actually be a he from what I could see of the cere color. If they are a male and a female, you could get yellowfaces and blues -- either all yellowface or 50% yellowface depending on what Chicken is.. normal coloration unless Chicken is split for greywing,clearwing,dilute.. or Starskie is spit for recessive pied. The babies would be split for greywing and recessive pied.

They're all really cute.. but I prefer blues to greens for the most part. I like violet, clearwings, blue series dilutes, greys, fallows, clearbodys -- and spangles

Squeaker sure looks like Marine.. I hope you get another like Reep. Any breeding plans for Jangles ? It's cool to see Freckle in natural light. I love all of your budgies.

My house.. send her over Cute pictures.

I was trying to show how cere color changes when a female matures.. and I never realized how simular these two pictures are. Before After

Since you don't know the parents of either bird - there's a chance for recessives (dilute, greywing, recessive pied, etc.) if there are both split for the same trait. Better chance of having Kirby split for one of the sex-linked - (ino, cinnamon, opaline) and getting one of those. You can't get dominant pieds, spangles, greens, grey or other dominant mutations.

The third one's my favorite..

I have 3 males and a female and they all share a cage and time out together. I think if you get a female that you will know what bossy really is .. (Laughing out loud). Really I think it comes down to the individual birds if you want a female -- get a female you'll probably find it easier to find a female opaline anyway.

Pretty birds. I can't really tell what Mable is since the picture is so bright.. but I think that she is a female. It doen't look like she is a normal green, maybe a cinnamon - a picture of her back would help. Mr and Mrs Wally look like normal sky blues. Dave might be a light or dark green opaline spangle. I'm not really sure though.

I don't really know when the other 3 clutches took place.. but are you sure you're giving them enough of a break in between. It doesn't seem like it's been very long since the last breeding attempt.

Any news Bea?

Do you know what the male's parents were? If he is split for -ino you can get -ino females. You would know for sure if he's split for -ino if either one of his parents was an -ino.

Not positive, but I'd say that the female is a cinnamon light green and the male is a normal violet. If that's right - Babies would be green and dark green unless the female is actually a yellowface or is split for yellowface or blue. Half or all could get a violet factor depending on whether the male is single or double factor. (but they would still visually be green) Males split for cinnamon and all green babies split for blue.

He's very cute. Do you know how old he is? Is he a cinnamon or is it just the lighting?

First get together with your pals to discuss a strategy. Even though your small .. you don't have to look small. Find something to stand on. Sneak up on your subject. DON'T LOOK BEHIND YOU! Tell Budgie jokes that cockatiels apparently don't understand. and finally, Act Weird.. really weird. And if that all fails steal treats from its dish. No cockatiel psyches were seriously harmed during the preceding.

Quit staring at my legs!

I haven't seen Oscar since you first got him. He was the one that was plucked? He looks great. Your other birds are pretty too.

They look great. Thistle is a fantastic color. I love how Reepiceep inherited Tooties "face"

He's really cute

They sure do get excited about their food. Great pictures. Love the last one. There's a young female budgie that looks a bit like Oz at a shop near me -- spangle, pied, yellowface and cinnamon too.
