  1. It's funny that she doesn't seem to mind me taking the chick out but is so bothered by Sylvester. I'm hoping that she settles down.
  2. I'm a little concerned with Sylvester's behaviour of late. I'm worried that he might attack the chick. The mom is fiercely guarding the chick in the nest and sqwacking madly every time Sylvester comes near. I was trying to change the box and had the chick in some shavings in a bowl. Sylvester was really aggressive in trying to get at the chick. Should I just put Sylvester back in with the main flock? Will Jewel be okay with the baby on her own. It is 13 days old now. Any ideas appreciated. ************************** Think I overreacted. I think maybe Sylvester is just trying to feed the chick. I watched them for a bit. Baby is coming to the nestbox opening and Sylvester gets really skiddish, but seems he is just trying to feed. I'm not sure why Jewel is so upset. I'll keep any eye on them.
  3. They are looking good. Would love to see a full body shot of Tango.

    Cute pics. My guys love bread too. Are they all relatively tame now Riebie?
  5. Phoebe - how great that you can keep track of them. I hope to keep track of my babies too. I'll certainly be able to keep track little P because well - he's staying with me

    Welcome to the forum. Your budgies are gorgeous. I can't wait to hear more about them and see more pictures. We love pictures are here. I'm sure many names will soon come your way. And there are lots of genetics experts here too. Have fun!
  7. Great names and gorgeous babies. Trouble and Tribble are so so pretty.
  8. Oh, they look so sweet together. I was going to say that the colour on the head meant opaline but I don't see the "V" of blue on the back. Let's see what the experts say. Such a pretty bird!!!!

    A cutie for sure. Can't wait til she is in full feather - really hard to see the spangle in the pictures. But I believe ya! Like the name too!

    Well he sure is cute!!!
  11. Sorry. Yes, that is what I meant. So can you specify what categories your budgies won in? If it isn't too much trouble. And if there are particular features about the birds that made them winners. It's very interesting.
  12. I love those pictures. They are SOSOSOSOSO cute!!!! I think the first picture of Kamakazi is so cute with the puffed up head. They are going to be stunning adults Quick question - I notice you got a lot of firsts. Are those first place by mutation?

    Welcome to the forum. This is an amazing place. The members are so helpful. In just a little over a year I went from the new owner of 2 budgies to 16 and I've just recently started breeding. Everything I know I learned here from these great folks and the information provided on this forum. Did I mention that budgies are addictive

    Mine like the toys I make for them with straws and popsicle sticks. They love to chew on the straws and tear apart the sticks.
  15. Awe! Look at how fluffy the one in the last picture is getting.
  16. Gorgeous babies you have there. How exciting that the oldest might be cinammon. I think they are so pretty. How many days old is the oldest chick?
  17. I love them both. Lucky you! Can't wait to see more pictures of them!
  18. I've seen these pics on his site. I would love to visit someday. It is an absolutely amazing set-up!!!
  19. I love the pictures. Gorgeous flowers and a more gorgeous budgie. :budgiedance:

    I'm looking forward to seeing the pics of your flock and hearing more about them. This is a great budgie forum.
  22. Shawna replied to a post in a topic in Budgie Pictures
    I can't see the pics that are links. Can you repost at a smaller size?
  23. Aww, how many chicks are in Custard and Pudding's nest. Are they all their babies?
  24. What a spread. Great pictures!
