I would take the advise of everyone and invest in taking him to the vet at least for the health of your birds even if you quarentine to make sure there are no underlying illness'. I agree how someone can't enjoy the spangle gene is nuts but we are all different. Boogie is a gorgeous boy.

good luck keep us updated.

hugs on your loss Karen and I read the above too my gosh there is something to learn everyday about breeding these little ones. You will have to write a book one day.

Very healthy and gorgeous Karen Great close ups too.

your dad is a hoot Bea Give Oz and kiss from Pretty and Blinks you must give some time for Oz to be famous and gorgeous or he is going to have a true complex

Awe they are gorgeous. I love how the greys are sticking together I love Patrick's blue feet

Poor Oz he needs a bird counsler. Ozzie you are very handsome

your lucky the fastest way to get metal poisening is a rusty cage it is just not safe.

awe so sweet what a personality.

I think the issue is that they are standing on it and in or out it is very dangerous?

wonderful progress thank you for sharing.

Awe Nerwen he looks great and he is having a blast with his ball

they are gorgeous Karen

Absolutely I agree and the FAQ really needs to show recessives too it only shows the normal way to tell Great pics Nerwen and everyone.

hugs Karen

That first one with Cooks and Blinks is great, you can tell he is very fond of her Bailie always has the cutest expressions. Excellent pics of both Oz and Blinks flying.

Oh I remember you telling me about the night fright and loosing a show budgie but I didn't know you lost Budhaa too I am so sorry.

She is beautiful

Here are my pictures of both my boys. One thing to remember that flash can wash out the cere color so when posting your picture of your bird's cere make sure you use natural light. Merlin at 10 months old he is a dominant pied (he has a spot on the back of his head, though he looks like a normal violet). Pretty is a recessive pied the cere stays pink in boys he is almost 2 here Pretty when is was just about 3 months note some boys can have white nasal rings the key is how pink the actual cere is and the smoothness Merlin as a baby at just 8 weeks you can see he is all boy very pink cere Sidenote: under the FAQ's there is a topic about sexing budgies too

Watch for infection and any reddening or if the foot gets hot. I think you mean toenail not the whole toe. Pretty lost a toenail when I first got him I have no idea how. They function fine without the lost one.

what a big boy Karen :hap: and who said violets are slight not this one

very good Karen excellent information too keep stashed in my brain and to keep that article.

how cute the feathers on the side of the face look longer then pet budgies. He is super cute.

If Beaker has lost his bar lines I would say he is a she out of breeding conditions. Females can have light blue ceres. Either way very cute pics for sure

They are beautiful. The yellow face violet is gorgeous .
