Merlin makes it too if you disturb him after he is covered, I can understand that. It is like someone poking at you first thing in the morning and you are sleeping. As with the 2 of them together as long as it is not breaking out into a fight it is very normal. My 2 boys would do it also as a way of communication saying hey I want my alone time but I still want you by me. I wouldn't worry about it unless it was constant fighting.

awe that is okay he will come around, put his play gym on top of his cage that is what I did with Pretty since he loved his cage too. He is a doll, thanks for sharing.

We had a recent discussion like this that RIPbudgie's brought up to our attention with her bird and she said the only way you can sometimes tell is through breeding.

Very cute, make sure you follow 30 day quarantine for your new bird . Here is information http://forums.budgiebreeders.asn.au/faqs/i...;highlight=quar

all birds are either green or white (blue series), in this case the bird is a green series with the blue being erased from the mutation leaving the yellow base and because the yellow is darker you can say if the blue was present then it would be a dark green (1 dark factor) why do you say that Kaz?

your pictures are always wonderful and you never over due it i absolutely love seeing your birds, they are stunning

OMG Deb, what happened to our baby Merlin is kissing the screen (lol) she is gorgeous WOW....

What a beauty, I know nothing but just looking at her and not reading any remarks, I though as long as she retains her marking through her molts yes she is a keeper, it is not many you see with such strong spangle markings.

Ah...gotcha well then he is unique but faulted in the world of showing :hap:, well you can't be beautiful and have it all :hap: or can you?

let us know Kaz if he keeps those feathers after a couple molts.

I also find that they swaying of the back is more prominant when they are standing in different positions too and what they are doing.... OFF TOPIC...this picture is too cute NOT to submit for February Budgie of the Month

good luck

I second what Liv said :hap: enter that cutie in the Budgie of the Month for February :hap:

You have received excellent advice to follow. I wanted to pop in and say welcome to the forum.

I believe that marking eggs is good too for the beginner breeding so they can have a time line on when the next one may hatch and know which is which.

My bunny had the outside plumbing very noticeable :hap:, as babies probably more protuding but as they get older it is a no brainer.

if she keeps chewing at the tape you may have to make her a collar, I know there is a post here on the site on how to make a homemade one for a budgie. Hope she is doing well.

great photos, your first hen is gorgeous I love her coloring and markings.

welcome, make sure you check out the Breeding Forum and never feel foolish to ask questions :hug:, we have a lot of awesome members with good information, knowledge and experience.

I believe it is around the 8 month mark, that is my educated guess.

I love this one you should crop it down and submit for budgie of the month

Would you mind taking a picture and posting it here please, thank you.

Yes :hug:
