Congrats on the egg .

What a character, it must be so enjoyable to watch him all the time, I would probably get nothing done all day .

Just wanted to pop in and say welcome .

I just love Charlie he is so handsome and look at those "bulging" muscles , you should enter a picture for Budgie of the Month .

LOL...that is what it is about is fun, my husband is the youngest for 4 boys no sisters there, I have found those with big families are in more control then those with 2

A few babies have that shape feather. It will most likely change with his newer adult spots Kaz is right, Merlin had those same spots now they are teardrops .

I love the blue coloration coming in they are so cute Kaz

Thank you pie, I knew it was something like that but I didn't remember. So now you know what to look for in their tail feathers or if you post a picture of the babies make sure you show their tail feathers too because our experts can pick it out for you quickly. .

that is a cute picture crop up and just show that face LOL...I was looking at it thinking OH MY .

Good news on them moving forward, hope all goes well .

Does he have a name? Too lazy to scroll through the whole post .

Adorable, is there one that is on it's back under that whole pack?

Amazing, God works in wonderous ways, I say, it wasn't his time to go . He is so handsome. Congrats on your chicks.

Good Luck , glad to see then made it home.

the other 50% will be normals in case you were wondering , I agree it will be interesting to see how they feather up. Isn't there a way to tell a spangle early by it's tail feathers?

pearce, the blue goes away because the yellow molts more into the body making the bird look like a green series but really is a blue series, the bird that you are holding is a YF2.

It is very common you just have to watch that the budgie doesn't irriate the bigger birds. In a pet shop I went to I saw a sun conure and a budgie and they were both in seperate cages but they could see each other through the plexi glass and then would huddle next to the glass together, it was sort of sad I think for the sun conure because he was alone and was looking for a friend but the budgie had other budgies but chose the sun conure to be next too .

reading throught this post, you have received some excellent help, how frustrating it is for you so I just wants to say hugs and I hope you can get everything worked out.

hope you are having fun trying MB ... Congrats JB, 4 kids wew....2 is good for me but I respect those with more for sure and give them hats off I have a girlfriend that has 5 :rofl:

fingers crossed Dave, and good on you for ensuring they are all in seperate rooms just this little spangle could have made everyone sick, shows that quarantine is essential no matter what.

Mr Piggy needs a bath !! :happy-dancing: I am currently trying to work out how to get him clean. Then he should be Kermit instead of Ms. Piggy, his cere is so pink I should have picked that out but all I had on my brain was "piggy" You know what he is jealous he is NOT GREEN like the rest of them that is why he is rolling in those greens

They are gorgeous Kaz, I like the white one that went through the food what a Ms. Piggy she is lol

it is not common for a budgie to feather pluck unless there is an underlying issue, most feather plucking is done on the chest and around the neck not on the tail area, she sounds like she is molting but a picture would assist us better.
