The Ino is the white version The Lutino gene is the yellow version Both these genes erase the blue from the bird leaving the base color of the bird white on a blue bird and yellow on a green bird. You can have a mixture of ino/lutinos as long as you have a blue gene in the breeding. The coloring is not sex-linked ONLY the ino or lutino gene itself. Make sense Jimmy Yes I see the marking lightly on the shoulders. Congrats Sunnie.

good to hear Jodie,

They are gorgeous, the one reminds me of Mammoth the hen and I love the corn pictures where they are trying to get it open (budgie of the month picture for sure), the last one in the first post is beautiful. Congrats on awesome results.

they are cuties, that one looks mauve from the picture you posted.

Good luck on whatever you decide, we don't have the snake problems as much here where I live. Gardener Snakes is all I have ever seen but I know parts of the U.S. have some very interesting ones too.

good news about the newest baby, hugs on the ones lost

YES Did you ever have a penpal?

Happy Thanksgiving, in the US it is always the 4th Thursday of November

I have read that rats make excellent first pets too. You will have to post a picture.

Nice find and the rosella is very pretty

Go Fish Do you like to eat cereal

Merlin and Pretty both inside birds molted right at the 4 month mark. It could be something to do with the food she is eating.

I agree with maesie that was going to be my suggestion.

Good news!!! Congrats.

they look adorable, love the first picture of them all lined up :bump:.

Very good Cara.

I agree with Kaz, if you find your budgie is not flying around very much and you have a lot of seed and millet in the cage and not a lot of fresh veggies, fruits etc...then you will probably have a fat budgie but like human's each budgie's metabolism is better. Single budgies tend to fly less so you have to prompt them to fly and play with them to have them exercise :bump:.

MB is right about the molting. Their feet tend to be warmer throughout the day especailly if they were just flying around :bump:. Do you find this to be the case this is when her feet are warm?

Here is the information on the brownwing budgie from Gypsyraven's Website from the FAQ's. Brownwing The Brownwing appears visually as a Cinnamon except for the markings being deep dull dark brown, not Cinnamon light brown. It has a full, undiluted body color (whereas the Cinnamon causes a dilution). Also on hatching chicks do not have red eyes - their eyes, throughout life are dark with a white iris. This mutation is recessive in inheritance (unlike the cinnamon sex-linked genetics). It is thought to have been a lost mutation, however a few sources throughout the years have seen this variety emerge and are struggling to revive it. I have read that this mutation disappeared in the 40's and hasn't really been seen since. The only other infomatin I could scrap up in a short amount of time that I have this morning was in German.

Interesting to see the crested baby and the one from the fallow male that passed on, thank you for the update.

They are cute.

Awesome news.

They all look like violet cobalts opalines to me, if you can take a better picture without a flash in the natural daylight that would be best.

incredible coloring and size of babies, the spangle markings on the cobalt is gorgeous. congrats on your results
