hugs birdie

I am no expert and I know they will come. I would watch and see what the mother does, and yes if she doesn't feed them, don't wait just get in there and start. If she new at this too? Where is the father? They help with the feeding too.

gorgoues...it looks like a sunny day in there with all the yellow As my son said, yellow is a happy color.

I see the molting birds (Laughing out loud) - itchy itchy. Great pictures, I love when they fluff up the feather by their beaks it makes them look so adorable

how cute, I see 2 little green feathers coming in

(Laughing out loud), he probably thought serves you right for all that abuse

I am not really sure if you can or not, I am seeing it is grown on farms.

 

I did a search and this is what I came up with http://www.innvista.com/health/foods/seeds/millet.htm and http://www.uteach2.com/ourfarm/our_farm.htm

 

Just a note I don't endorse these site, I just found them on a simple search

Oz is doing good. He still doesn't particularly like me but he tolerates me.

 

There is such a difference from handling them from practically day 1 (Blinks) and then getting them older from the pet store. Oz will probably be more bird bird. I can't wait until they met .

he is so gorgous Bea.

How is Oz doing?

oh they are all so cute, if you look at the babies from the side views you can see the bars better to the cere, granted they are not super dark but I can see them ever so slightly.

 

So question, where your outcomes doing it the genetic way, the same outcome that came out natures way?

very nice Phoebe

Daz..you are funny

Welcome Back :bluebudgie: - would love to see a picture of your flock.

Hurdy that is awesome...I love all your budgies mutations they are so gorgeous.

smart bird

Hmmm sounds like a normal relationship

keep them separated

Hugs Terri, I can imagine how you feel - been there before with my other pets, and the waiting is horrible.

 

okay, not being a vet I did do some looking up, found some articles doesn't mean this is what either bird has but worth reading.

 

There was also a great post in the health section where someone's bird had a lump but it was already large and open - and what they did for treatment. You may want to see if you can find that.

 

Here are the articles:

 

(for the lump) http://www.peteducation.com/article.cfm?cl...&articleid=2755

 

I doubt this but the bird can get yellow stool per this article

http://www.multiscope.com/hotspot/psittacosis.htm

 

Go down to dropping involving the urinary track http://www.netpets.com/birds/reference/laf...f_dropping.html

 

I could probably search on and on but until you see the vet that is when you will know the real answer. Try not to stress yourself (like I know it is impossible for you) but focus on the good, positive and it will be okay.

 

You are a good mom Terri...keep us updated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Possible Goiter:

Oh I love the Dad's expression - congrats Karen

That is awesome Nerwen (I missed your other post) and copied and pasted Cheeta's advice.

you have excellent advice, and I hope you can get into the vet ASAP.

Please keep us updated.

well being nervous and scared can cause the poo to change temporarily and make it runny, I have experienced that with Pretty and have read that. So the key is to find out what why he is frightened and how you can ease him into feeling more secure.

That is odd, do you feel that he could be frightened, that is the only thing I can think of.

 

As for the poo...not sure any diet changes to make it sticky?

Did you figure a name for her? Ocean - her blue reminds me of the Ocean

how is he doing, have his feathers grown in more evenly?

Yes, I bet you will have more success this time for sure, it sounds like it!! For Spangles remember you need to have at least 1 Spangle (dominate gene).

Thanks lovey, you have become a professional overngiht!...(Laughing out loud)

 

So, to sum it up, i would need a male who has made blue babies before, or one that has made pieds before? Would an olive green not mean that hes split to blue?..same with a green that has a lot of blue in the plumage?....The breeder has several lime green opalines, olive greens, normals greens, and a stunning dominant pied blue cinnamon male that i was going to get, but he wants to keep it now... ..(Laughing out loud)

A professional overnight not quite, did a lot of bugging Nerwen, Rainbow and Hurdy

 

i would need a male who has made blue babies before, or one that has made pieds before? YES

 

Would an olive green not mean that hes split to blue?..same with a green that has a lot of blue in the plumage?. NO Olive green means that the bird has 2 dark factors - nothing to do with the blue gene.

 

Green budgies have a yellow base. As for the blue feathers in a green bird, the body feathers are structured to reflect blue. In yellow-based budgies the blue in the body feathers combines with the yellow base pigment, which results in a bright green. (I hope this explanation makes sense)
