they are wonderful like sisters :budgiedance: some hens will display light blue ceres when not in breeding condition and can confuse us I didn't know this until I joined the forum

Well you have a good handle on it. As you know shephards are very protective and their are bred to be with their human. So a lot of this is already in the breed. Yes they have to be independent but you have look at the bred. My husky a very independent breed could care less about our coming and going but Cabela does care he is a companion dog. So when I talk to people about dogs I always say remember what they were bred to do that helps understanding that individual dog.

Robin yes it is okay Norm yeah think - I so wonder what he was thinking

I completely believe that budgies would egg on the cat (Laughing out loud) I can just see the scene in my head

Cabela had bad separation anxiety and the one thing about rescuse is you simply don't know what happened. Who abused him or why etc... Cabela was a puppymill stud rescue and he is frightens easily with fast movement and men. For his separation anxiety whenever I saw him laying on his own outside or by himself in the house I let him be or would say good boy and continue what I was doing. How bad is the separation anxiety? Going to basic training they will give you the support you need to help you through the trials and trubulations so to speak. Rescuing any animal is a wonderful thing to do but comes with baggage on the animals part. These animals need our patience and complete understanding. .

The first thing and the best thing you can do is have your new dog enrolled in basic obdience training. Cabela is our 5yr old rescue mini pin whom we adopted in Jan and he started basic training. Shephards are very smart, willing to please dogs but they also need structure by enrolling in him training just basic will do you will find a big improvement. The issue isn't how to get them to co-exist together the issue is the dog knows you are the alpha or top dog and he must respect you, the family and whatever you ask him to (within reason). I hope that helps.

That name can go either way and I really like it much better then Helga

I love that miss6 and at 6 they know everything, my 6y is turning 7 next month :fear Bella is very pretty.

Simply wonderful...I love Popcorn he is gorgeous

I cracked up when I looked at it after I took it, I can put it as my background picture on my puter

if that one has grey marking that strike the cinnamon from the mutation and keep the rest

They are both split for blue as long as you closed bred them and know for sure who the daddy is then the dad has to be split blue the hen is obviously split to blue. You didn't mention if they are both opaline or not. If the dad is opaline or split to opaline you will get opaline hens. If the mom is an opaline then all the males will be split to opaline but won't be visual unless. If both are opalines you will get 100% opalines.

Here is information from our FAQ about symptoms too look for an eggbound hen Egg binding occurs when a hen is has difficulty in laying an egg. There are many signs and symptoms that a hen that is egg bound may display. These include: a hen that looks distressed a hen sitting on the bottom of the cage a hen that has very large droppings that are very runny or contain blood a hen who whips her tail or strains painfully a hen that looks weak, depressed or is breathing rapidly a hen that looks nervous or moves rapidly from perch to perch a hen that is trying to stretch her body up to get relief If you look carefully, you should notice a slight roundness of the underbelly or you may be able to feel the egg if you lightly palpate the area.. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO NOT TRY TO REMOVE THE EGG. If you do this and the egg breaks it can result in the death of the hen. There are many causes for this condition including: a hen that is too young an egg that is too large an egg with a rough shell an egg that is too soft the hen's oviduct (where the egg comes out) is not elastic enough poor nutrition, a lack of vitamins or calcium a hen that is kept in a room that is too dark, cool or damp a hen that has laid too many clutches with no rest in between As stated before, this is a medical emergency and a visit to your avain vet is essential. Avian Vet Look-up You can try to assist the hen by placing her in a warm environment, such as a hospital cage that is covered and has a soft cloth bottom (ensure the hen's claws can't get caught in the material) and dripping some warmed castor oil onto the vent. However this will usually only help if the egg is visible at the vent entrance. Keep the hen as calm as possible and transport her to your avian vet as soon as possible. Last update: 2007-04-25 15:54 Author: feathers aka Aly Is her first clutch or if she is an older hen past her breeding age or she may lay one 2 days apart which I have heard happen. This may be all she will lay and that is okay.

So you think Kaz Greygreen Cinnamon Clearwing Spangle grey green would make sense to be the coloring because of the silvery cheek patches, olives have blue even though the coloring looks more olive.

Standard for the YF 1 from BBC Show Forum I know I have read that Yellowface 2 are greatly penalized. Yellowface Mutant 2 and Goldenface can be bred in single factor forms but it is desirable that only the double factor forms are exhibited as unavoidable confusion can be caused with single factor examples due to the heavily increased suffusion of yellow into the body colour which distorts the basic blue to green/blue shade. Spillage of yellow colour from the mask in Yellowface Mutant 2 double factor and Goldenface double factor is permissible but should be no more than minimal and confined to the area of the body adjacent to the bottom edge of the mask. http://www.world-budgerigar.org/

yes I saw that but I figured it was old eyes and my screen I believe it is a cinnamon and was going to ask that before. Still can be a clearflight cinnamon though because the marking are very very light :budgiedance:. oh and Kaz you think Spangle on Mary becaue of the clear tail or is that because of the mutation?

Congrats Keetcrazy you are a winner :budgiedance: Just kidding I added your question and Kaz's answer to the FAQ section as I didn't see this exact q&a When should I move my fledglings to a nursery cage?

thank you everyone I agree when I see Oz I think of Merlin all the time :budgiedance:

they compliment each other nicely :budgiedance:

Mary is a he like Kaz said...and he looks like a clearwing but do you have clearer pics of his front and back? Is the color on his front actually green or suffusion? Bella looks like a clearflight dominant pied and the cheek pattern is probably due to the pied mutation. Unnamed bird is a opaline clearflight dominant pied, looks to be of the blue series a possible yellowface 2?

thank you everyone :budgiedance:

As Kaz said a picture would really help. I don't think I have ever seen a violet mauve so I would be interested in seeing the coloration of the bird :budgiedance:.

congrats :budgiedance:
