What a cutie, I agree with Kaz and when you take the picture take a picture of the front, back and underside of the tail if you can & have your camera on the macro (flower picture) setting this is used for close ups.

You know Kaz it has been a while since you submitted a picture for Budgie of the Month, that first one is just adorable

I agree with Kaz they are both violets. If you can post a picture of the hen without flash and in the natural sunlight that helps with the taking of the blues. Merlin is a violet too just like your bird and I agree it is such a gorgeous blue. There are double factor violets and single factor violets so if you pair 2 violets together you 25% chance of a double factor Violet, 50% chance of Single Factor Violet and then 25% Chance of No Violet Carrying but a Blue bird. Violet is an added color which enhanced the 3 types of blues sky, cobalt and mauve but it is BEST seen visually on a cobalt which is what the male is.

Personally they both look like boys to me also. I am not sure what you are saying about the violet gene but that has nothing to do if you have a boy or a girl BUT the cinnamon can. If neither parents are visually cinnamon and you have a cinnamon baby then that means the male is split to cinnamon and all babies that are cinnamon are FEMALES because this is a sex-linked gene. If the mom is cinnamon and the male is NOT split to cinnamon you will only have males that are split for cinnamon but no cinnamon babies. BUT if the dad is carrying the cinnamon gene and the mom is cinnamon you can have both males and female cinnamon babies. Make sense?

They are lovely, your male reminds me of Merlin totally the color and even the look of the head etc... . Your female is a opaline violet she is very lovely.

I love Your tiels are adorable too.

Read here on how to post pictures within guide regulation Photo Regulations/How to Post TIPS on taking good pictures that WIN Make sure you have good lighting Try and take your budgie's picture without the bar cages, many camera's will let you zoom in and you can put the lense between the space If it is a close-up use your macro setting (symbolized on some camera's by a flower) and then press the shutter button 1/2 way and let it focus If the picture is blurry check your setting and try again Make sure you resize your pictures to message board size (640x480) too small of pictures are hard to see

good on both of you to quarantine at Renee's, I look forward to following this journal.

:purr: fect they are

Sadly that was a while ago that I can remember, 9 yrs ago when Aaron was born and I remember it because I had a c-section with him and was in major pain, maybe it as been sooner but I can't remember When is the last time you put up a new signature on the forum for yourself?

I moved this under the new section under Budgie Maintance, called Pest Control. Good luck.

Great thing about being part of the forum you can spot these things quicker then if you were not :rofl:
