not sure if you were replying to a post, I deleted the other 2 that posted twice if you are replying to a post you simply click on the bottom right hand corner fastrepy or addreply you clicked new topic which starts a completely different thread which is used when you are personally starting a topic to ask a question, talk about your bird, add pictures etc... If you have further questions let any one of our moderator know and we will assist you.

Not being a breeder myself but will offer a common sense opinion. I would wait until they are eating on their own because even if the chicks are feeding each other they could be feeding what the cock fed to them and not what they ate on their own. Make sense? I love the toddler rooms and not taking them right to the aviary so in there you can really keep an eye on them to ensure they are doing well.

:(Laughing out loud): I am not sure

Pretty didn't make any noise in the beginning and he was a very quiet bird for a couple months. Each bird is different I doubt he is a mute Boys are more vocal then girls also.

the normal genes make many of the other genes stronger so I would search for a normal green that is my personal opinion

I agree this isn't my cup of tea (Laughing out loud) Karen, maybe PM him I haven't seen him on for a couple of days?

Welcome, we have a wonderful FAQ section up on top that you can also read through for some excellent advice on top of the sound advice you have already received. When you have a chance and post a picture of your new feathered friend that would be awesome

If you have a dominant pied like Merlin it can't be a throw back because it is a dominant gene and is not hidden like the recessive pied. Since you are uncertain of the father it would have to have been a dominant pied that produce him. You could pair him with another bird that is split to recessive pied and you will have a 25% chance of recessives OR you could pair him with another recessive and see if you get recessive pied babies. As Kaz said I have seen several birds on these boards SWORE up and down they had to be dominant but only turned to be recessive.

All wonderful news

According to the description of the BEC it can't be it Description of Different Mutations this is from our FAQ and Aly had posted this back a few months ago. I think the best thing you can do is wait for the offspring and work out the genetic .

I got the CD The Dog Whisper at the library, I hear he is EXCELLENT.
