Hi Libby, I am sorry if you felt like you were being critized, I know that was not the intention by any means. We are all here to help in many different ways. Some of us express better then others and with the internet it is very to hard sometimes say things with emotion so it comes across brash. Suggestions and advice are the biggest one that seem to come over wrong (I know from experience) so please don't be upset. Here is a great article about aviary (open) style breeding vs closed style breeding from one of our breeders who started out the way you are breeding. Coloney Breeding VS Closed Breeding Article from our BBC FAQs

Sometimes it is necessary to incubate eggs yourself. This can be due to your hen being ill and not having another hen to foster the eggs to. Most bird specialists set the incubator dry temperature at 37.2 degrees C and it works well for most species. Acceptable extremes are 36.6 to 37.7 degrees C. The temperature should not fluctuate more than 0.2 degrees C either side of your chosen setting. Eggs incubated at cooler temps may hatch several days later. Warmer eggs hatch a little sooner (but don't put it warmer then needed because it could damage the chick or cause death). For best information on this subject a book called a Guide to Incubation and Handraising parrots by Phil Digney is terrific for all the help you need. The temperatures above are measured in degrees celcius. Convert to Fahrenheit if necessary for your incubator. Incubation Time, from BBC FAQ Last update: 2007-04-13 01:57 Author: Kaz

There are so many Y Evie

Wonderful news

Robin said it best and am so sorry. What a wonderful life Sara had with you and now she can fly free and protect you. I am sure she gave Pretty a big budgie kiss as he is now flying free with her together. She was a female Pretty looks just like him. HUGS to you sweetie.

I would think the only thing that would be bad is if her hormones did kick in and she became egg bound that would be bad for her in her condition. That is my only thoughts.

Very nice!

Excellent toy and a gorgeous model to show off how to use it

Female - Green Opaline Clearbody. Male - opaline violet sky spangle 100% opalines if the female is split for blue then you have a 50% chance of blues, 50% chance of greens Clearbody is a sex-linked gene so the boys will be split for clearbody the only way to get visual clearbody's is if the male is split for clearbody too. The violet is a factor so can be in both blue and green series birds so if you have a SF Violet 50% chance of them carrying the VF gene, if the male is a DF Violet then you will have 100% of the babies will carry the violet gene and it will be single factor Others may give you more of the ratios to the combo but that is what you can expect with colors and mutations. Congrats!
