Go Fish Are you the middle child?

If the bulb is healthy and okay then I would say it is because it is a different mutation, have you checked the eyes to see the color?

Congratulations jwancia... This is such a cute picture tell us more about your budgie and about the picture. Congrats to all those who submitted a picture they were all so wonderful, remember January 09 Budgie of the Month is open for entries, you can enter 1 entry every month

The 1st picture is the only one I can confirm and say male, the rest are too small please resize like the first one and we can help you out better.

sorry to hear about the loss, glad the others are doing well.

Go Fish Are you adopted?

For a definite diagnosis I would take her to an avian vet, we are not qualified by any means through a picture to have a confirmed diagnosis.

I agree, even though it is a dark looks very much hen

Awesome, great news MB

I agree male too

I have my fingers crossed, I remember I spotted with Aaron and I was a wreck, I know the brown coloring is actually better the the red because it means whatever happened it healing up, I had a small hemoragge (sp) with a little bit of rest was okay and went away. To take it easy, you can prevent things from getting worse if they are not the bad in the first place :raincloud:.

Merlin is obessed with the camera now too once I get it out he likes to fly on top of it. Cute video Jodie, thank you for sharing.

hugs Kaz, I know you take all your loss very personal :raincloud:, I am sure those babies will be okay and they will flourish under your guidance.

I will take them ALL Kaz...they are gorgeous :raincloud:

You are correct, the only thing I would add is Skyblue Recessive Pied

OMG is he cute or what...not the rat the BABY oh and the rat is cute too. I have read about rats, I think people are turned off by them because they are pests but the actual pet rat is an amazing pet from what I read, they are very sweet, affectionate, and dog like :yes:. Beautiful pictures .... thanks for sharing.

type in a search engine inspirational quotes you will come up with a lot of sites. Happy Birthday to your son...WOW I can't imagine mine at 21y but it comes faster then you think.

You have received good advice from Ann and Kaz, I would get her to an avian vet to rule out any underlying medical disease. It is very rare for budgies to self mutulate but it can happen but they do say it is usually underlying medical vs psychological. Keep us updated.

Awesome, glad I could help, I do gift cards all the time now it is so much easier :yes:.

When poop is like that it does indicate a bird is sick. I suggest making an appointment with your avian vet and have a poop smear along with an examination. Sticky poop can be a number of things and since we are not vets and can't see the bird we can't diagnosis. Here are some signs to look out for in the meantime: What color is the poop? This is very important because it can indicate if a bird has not eaten or drank. Can you feel his keel bone? If it is prominant that shows he has lost weight His eating/drinking habits? What are they like? Some suggestions is to keep in warm room (75 F at least), keep him quiet, change the newspaper often so you can observe the poops, encourage him to eat millet if he is eating nothing else. Most of call call the avian vet.

that is awesome MB

thank you for the update, good luck :yes:

that is awesome Kaz, do you have something over the holes in the mesh or are the holes smaller then they look?

beautiful trees, you are so good, we have not put up our tree yet, we will probably put it up this weekend.

She is a nice hen congrats :yes:, and I agree on what she is. A Green Gray bird is a bird that is Green with the Added Factor of Grey. Grey is a dominant added factor. So on a green bird you will have Green Gray and on a blue based bird you will have Grey. Kaz has explained it well So you know the Green and the Grey together are co-dominant that is why you have a green/grey bird vs just a green bird. If she is a double factor Grey carrier then all the babies will be grey green and if split to blue and paired with a bird blue or split to blue you will have greys. So green greys and greys only. If she is a single factor Grey then you will have a mixture of green/grey and greens *50% of each is the expection. BUT if your bird is split to blue and you breed with a blue or split to blue bird then you will have a mixture of greens, greys, blues and grays . As Kaz said.
